The unknown years of PnB Rock
Rakim is one of those performers who has a difficult past. He was associated with a life of crime. And more than once he got into unpleasant situations and ended up in custody. The musician was born in 1991 in Pennsylvania.

Getting popular
You can't rap without a cool pseudonym. The name Rakim was not suitable for a dangerous musician. He decided to take the name of the street he grew up on, making it his new musical name. The name Pastorius and Baynton was too long, so the rapper cut it down to PnB.
The musician worked on the first album in prison. The mixtape was released in 2014 under the name Real N*gga Bangaz. A year later, he managed to sign a contract with the famous label Atlantic Records.
During this period, he released a new mixtape RnB 3. This is the third work in his career as a musician. The track "Selfish", which was released in 2016, hits the 51st position on the Billboard Hot 100. This was the impetus for the development of the world fame of the musician. He gets recognized. Rolling Stone lists him as one of the top 10 emerging musicians to know about.

This paves the way for Raheem into the world of celebrity work. During his career, he managed to collaborate with dozens of world famous people. One of the outstanding stages of his career can be called participation in the recording of the track for the film Fast and the Furious 8. There he worked together with Young Thug, Wiz Khalifa, 2 Chainz.
