Valee

Valee Taylor grew up on Chicago's South Side, living in the Robert Taylor Homes and moving repeatedly once they were demolished. Valee has said his mother exposed him to musicians such as Erykah Badu, Sade, Jill Scott at an early age. Valee pays homage to the artists frequently in his music. Throughout his schooling, he had repeated issues with anger, and his outbursts led to his expulsion from numerous schools. == Music ==

Valee's early work includes collaborations with producers such as Rio Mac and Chase the Money. After he was signed to Kanye West's GOOD Music by the label's then-president Pusha T in February 2018, he released his debut extended play and first retail project, GOOD Job, You Found Me. It was executive produced by West and saw minimal commercial response, although Pitchfork reviewed the project and gave it a score of 7.4/10. The song was later featured on the soundtrack of the 2019 Netflix film Beats leading its debut at number 98 on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 and at 24 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100. In 2019, he released a surprise EP, Runnin Rich, which included features from G Herbo, King Louie, and Vic Mensa. The cover art is a picture of the rapper's pet Chihuahua dog named Cliff Notez, whom he was publicly condemned for dying red. Valee responded to the critics explaining he used "edible vegan dye" in order to color the pet's fur. ==Discography==
