Born and raised in Los Angeles, Luce Cannon's father passed away when he was quite young, and he was raised by his mother. Pursuing a career as a music producer was far from easy for Cannon. He survived being shot three times and spent two years in prison for undisclosed reasons.

He discovered his passion for music during this difficult period, realizing it was his true calling, according to Top Notch Promo.

After release from prison, Cannon made a deal with Warner Brothers, which ended relatively early as he chose an independent path. At 17, Luce Cannon began working with Nipsey Hussle, whom he regarded as his brother.

Speaking to HyperBeast in May 2023, Cannon reflected on his music journey and relationship with Hussle and suggested that they "grew together" and made music together —

"We grew up together, so he was always big bro to me. When it came down to producing and writing and stuff like that, I was always there with him from the beginning to the end," Cannon said.

Moreover, in 2022, while speaking about his collaborative song Ball Out with Drakeo the Ruler, Cannon told HyperBeast that following the tragic demise of Hussle and Drakeo, he took a brief break from making new music. Luce Cannon also suggested that he and Drakeo made a lot of music together, and Ball Out was the one they made on the last day.

Luce Cannon has worked with many high-profile figures in the music industry, including Rihanna, Snoop, The Game, Nas, and 50 Cent. He is working on his forthcoming album and autobiography, The Gun or the Pen. As per Top Notch Promo, the expected release date has yet to be disclosed.
