[Monologue]
17. A collection of nightmares, thoughts, and real-life situations I've lived. 17 is the number tattooed on the right side of my head, my own personal number, soon to be explained in future interviews or instances. By listening to this album, you are literally, and I cannot stress this enough, literally entering my mind. And if you are not willing to accept my emotion and hear my words fully, do not listen. I do not value your money; I value your acceptance and loyalty. Here is my pain and thoughts put into words. I put my all into this in the hopes that it will help cure, or at least numb your depression. I love you. Thank you for listening. Enjoy.

Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy (born on January 23, 1998, in Plantation and raised in Lauderhill, Broward County, Florida)—better known by his stage name, XXXTENTACION (pronounced xxx-tenta-ción)—was an established force in the Florida Soundcloud rap scene. He became widely known for his uniquely raw and aggressive approach to music. X claimed that his varied artistic influences range from alternative rock bands such as Nirvana and The Fray to distinguished rappers like Lil Wayne and The Notorious B.I.G.

His breakout hit “Look At Me” was first released on Soundcloud in 2015, and then edited and re-released for his 2017 mixtape Revenge. This scored him an appearance in the XXL Freshman Class of 2017. He took the 10th spot, meaning he was voted in by the fans.

X frequently collaborated with his friend and fellow South Florida rapper, Ski Mask The Slump God. He met Ski in juvenile detention and founded the music collective, Members Only, with him.
