BeatKing has a few albums under his credits alongside some hit singles: Career and other details explained

BeatKing's career dates back to 2010 when he released a lot of mixtapes, trying to establish himself as a popular face in the world of rapping. He even posted some videos through his social media pages at the same time and was recognized by the public with the release of the album, Kings of the Club.

He came into the spotlight after his single, You Aint Bout That Life, managed to reach on top of the Billboard charts in 2011. The song was included in the soundtrack of his third album, Club God, which came out the same year.

TikTok was also one of the reasons behind his successful career and he addressed the same as he appeared for an interview with On The Radar Radio in 2020. His daughters found his song, Then Leave, trending on the short video platform the same year during the pandemic and it received around 2 million views at the time. BeatKing said:

"Its at 2 Million, I ain't even have a TikTok two months ago, but I have one now because of my daughters, its crazy because that TikTok world is a whole different world, I know all the dances now."

The Houston, Texas native recalled a fan moment in another conversation with B High and said:

"I was on stage rappin' and … four girls were eating a*s, all in a row. It's on P*rnhub, I heard. I was like, 'Man, that's filthy.' I still uploaded it on Snapchat!"

Although detailed information on Riley's early life and educational background remains unknown, he developed an interest in music at a young age. His mother played the piano at the church which was one of the reasons he decided to pursue a career in the world of music.

He released a lineup of mixtapes throughout his career such as Gangsta Stripper Music and Eat'n Everything.
