Biography

Khadimou Rassoul Cheikh Fall (born September 10, 1998), known professionally as Sheck Wes, is an American rapper and singer. He is best known for his 2017 song "Mo Bamba", which became popular in 2018. In February 2018, Wes signed a joint record deal with Travis Scott's Cactus Jack and Kanye West's GOOD Music, under the aegis of Interscope Records. Fall was raised in a Muslim household. At age five, he and his mother, Ella Kingsland, moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where he lived for nine years. At 14, he moved back to New York. Fall began making music at age 11, to relieve stress due to his troubled childhood as he was raised in a hostile environment. While in high school, basketball became a major extracurricular pursuit, but he attracted interest from a fashion talent scout, leading him to skip a playoff game to participate in the Madison Square Garden unveiling of the Yeezy Season 3 collection.
