Since breaking out in the early 2010s, Ty Dolla Sign’s voice has become synonymous with dope R&B hooks on the hottest rap songs.
Born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, Ty Dolla Sign taught himself how to play the bass guitar, drums, guitar, keyboards as well as how to work the MPC. He made his name in the rap game after linking up with YG on the 2010 single “Toot It and Boot It” which became a moderate hit, peaking at 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually selling over a million copies.
Since then, Ty has been a consistent solo and feature artist. Rappers from all eras and backgrounds, from DJ Quik and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to Lupe Fiasco and Project Pat, have called on the L.A. crooner to lend his vocals on their tracks.
