Billionaire Black, a pioneering drill rapper from Chicago\u2019s South Side, has been shaping the sound of a generation since the early 2010s. Known in the streets as Billy, he came up between the Robert Taylor Homes and 63rd Street in Woodlawn – and his music reflects every corner of that experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the original voices in the drill movement, Billionaire Black made his mark with raw, unfiltered tracks like \u201cBeniHibachi,\u201d \u201cBye Bye,\u201d and \u201cCosta Rica.\u201d As a core member of Fly Boy Gang, alongside names like FBG Duck and Lil Jay, he helped define a gritty, rebellious sound that still echoes through hip-hop today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His catalog runs deeper than diss tracks and street anthems – it\u2019s built on survival, loss, and constant reinvention. Now based in Arizona and leading Extortion Gang, Billy continues to push his sound forward without ever losing touch with his roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
