About Blueface

Johnathan Michael Porter (born January 20, 1997), known professionally as Blueface, is an American rapper and professional boxer. In October 2018, after releasing the music video for his song "Respect My Cryppin'", he became a viral meme due to his offbeat style of rapping. The following month, he was signed to Cash Money West, the California branch of Birdman's Cash Money Records label. His 2018 single, "Thotiana", became a "sleeper hit" the following year, peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and spawning ironic remixes with Cardi B and YG. His debut studio album, Find the Beat (2020), sustained long-term delays, and was met with lukewarm critical and commercial reception.
