Houston rapper Dice Soho was born in 1995 and by age nine was already integrating himself into his city's fertile underground rap scene, being taught the ways by his uncle and veteran rapper Smoov. Though it wouldn't be until his teenage years that he truly began making a name for himself, fame came quickly once the young rapper began releasing tracks and performing live in the mid-2010s. He grew up near like-minded artist Trill Sammy, and after years of being aware of each other, the two met in 2015 and collaborated on the breakout single "Just Watch." The song went viral quickly and set the scene for Dice Soho to follow up with more big singles like "Ripped Jeans" in 2016 and "Giraffe" in 2017. His 0 Degrees mixtape dropped in 2016, and he made numerous appearances on other rappers' tracks as his profile grew.
