After recording a handful of mixtapes with much more of a trap influence than the West Coast hip hop he became known for, he was discovered by DJ Mustard, who remixed his song Mr. Get Dough. The song, which premiered on WorldStar in April 2015, became his breakout song, and has amassed over 6.2 million YouTube views (as of August 2019). Six months later, in October, Drakeo release his official debut mixtape, I Am Mr. Mosely, as his first project under Mustard's 10 Summers label.
He released his second project, I Am Mr. Mosely 2, on 21 July 2016, with features which included Mozzy, Skeme, and Philthy Rich. He followed this up with the release of So Cold I Do Em in December, which included of his most popular songs, Impatient Freestyle.
After his jail release in November 2017, he recorded a 16-track mixtape, Cold Devil, in 10 days, and released it the following month. Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork described it as "the most compelling album of the Los Angeles emcee’s career," adding that his "avant deadpan and impressionistic relationship to the beat" is "icy and unforgettable."Similarly, Grant Rindner of Complex called it "one of the most impressive California rap projects in years". He released music videos for Flu Flamming, Big Banc Uchies and Out the Slums within a month, amassing 4.4 million, 3.6 million and 4.0 million YouTube views, respectively. Flu Flamming was also notably remixed by Lil Yachty, and Big Banc Uchies by Shy Glizzy. The music video for Roll Bounce was released in September, with Drakeo in jail awaiting trial.
Caldwell was stabbed backstage at around 8:30 p.m. on December 18, 2021, during the Once Upon a Time in LA festival. Initial eyewitness accounts reported that he was stabbed in the neck during an altercation; later, his mother Darrylene Corniel revealed in an interview with Rolling Stone that Caldwell, his brother, and their entourage were attacked by "around 40, 60 men" in masks around the time of YG's arrival to the venue, and that Caldwell had been stabbed in the neck. Paramedics arrived at the scene at around 8:40 p.m. and transported Caldwell to a nearby hospital in critical condition. The event itself was cancelled shortly afterward.
Caldwell was pronounced dead as a result of his stab wounds at around midnight on December 19, 2021, roughly four hours after the initial altercation. As of December 21, 2021, the Los Angeles Police Department is investigating his death as a homicide.

Drakeo the Ruler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big forty bulging, tell me who gon' really bust though
Heard it was beef so I brought shit that got nuts on it
Preaching the word, I might be craft low, hello
Shit getting ugly, might have to pour this Mello Yello
Sheesh, I'm riding with a felony
Niggas is jokes, who cosigned 'em, Bill Bellamy?
The Stinc Team they gettin' real dollars, bitch you tellin' me
Everybody eatin' smoothie, on Big Pun mode
Drakeo got that draco, the fuck I'ma run for?
Everybody tough until them guns go blaow blaow
Ralfy you blind him, that lil nigga think he pow wow
Big juice cup, lil nigga I'm magic, Don Juan, uhh
Man these niggas with the talking
Poured in a four and oops I almost Paul Walkered
Niggas thought it was a joke when I came in with the stockings
Hopping out the Batmobile, Bruce Wayne, I'm robbin'
Yeah I'm ill though, what's the deal though
Want to rip the Stinc Team, well hop out and kill some'
Rollie on my wrist came from long nights of hard thuggin'
Acronyms, F&N, I ain't really with that bar tussling
Nigga fuck the studio, I'm really in the yard thugging
Pull up on Ayomi, fifty niggas in the yard clutching
We got all Givenchy in my pocket
It's 'bout fifty niggas talkin' 'bout they rob me
Bro these niggas so silly
In the field, rap ain't payin no bills, it's getting tricky
And on top of that I'm poured and my fingers is gettin' itchy
When you see me in the club niggas know I'm Money Mitch-ing
Wrist Breaker in the club, it cost me a pretty penny
Acting like they want to get me, niggas playin' like they with it
Shoot up with a pussy nigga, hope he find another kidney
Pouring fives in the soda, tryna buy another kidney
I'm a baller and she know I'll never call unless it's offered
Heard you breaking gang, no I'm never faking
I got game scrapes on Maisons
My nephew named Mason, who really want to say shit?
What's that in your wallet, shit bald-head Jasons
Riding in all black but the whip caucasian
On the gang that I claim I just made the roof brainless
That's that 2 Greedy, Stinc Team, and we don't do no playing
Wake him up, shake him up, chopper make him go uhh
Mayday, man down, I guess he thought he was Suge
Ride up on Drakeo, shit I wish a nigga would
He must not value life but shit I guess it's understood
What's the deal though? man who real though?
It's the ruler, everybody gotta feel for
Are you gon' ride for me? are you gon' kill for me
Pull up to his block right here 'cause we for real thugging
Boom boom boom boom, let that bitch rip
If i could write a movie I would recreate the Exorcist
I'm heaven sent, nigga think twice who you messing with
Giving niggas hell 'cause up top they say the best was full, shit
Crazy, ain't that shit crazy?
All this rap beef and sneak dissing is amazing
Silly ass niggas, please get your Bin Laden up
One for two a nigga like I got a million followers
Drakeo calm down, time to turn this to the Holocaust
Niggas know who brought the guns, niggas know who havin' fun
'Cause if I call you know who you know the job is done, uhh
Come on this shit regular
Sauce come on, do 'em man
Shit, finna fuck the streets up but it's regular
What'd I say now in this shit?
I said what's that in your noggin
Ha, no no I didn't
What'd I say, I said what's that in your wallet, bald-headed Jasons?
Nigga don't even carry wallets, all that
But any way all that sneak dissing, all that shit niggas be doin'
Niggas know what time it is, niggas know it's regular
Come on, y'all heard me on the track
All that nigga, slide in the fifty, slide in a day
Let me know where I'm lying at
Come on, let's stop playing nigga
Niggas already got a new rumor
Saying 7-18 thugging in the 'caine, you know what's up
Ahh, tell 'em to go like this

That's how you get that nigga, uhh
Come on, stop playing
Nigga you know this shit regular, alright
Nigga, shit I'm Mr. Everything nigga, let's be real

Shoot at someone who is weak, hoping they get seriously hurt
Pouring fives in the soda, tryna buy another kidney
Mixing codeine with soda, attempting to find relaxation

I am rich and she knows I won't contact her unless she initiates it

I am the dominant figure, everyone has to acknowledge it
Are you gon' ride for me? are you gon' kill for me
Will you support me? Will you go to extreme lengths for me?
Pull up to his block right here 'cause we for real thugging
Arrive at his neighborhood, proving that we are truly dangerous

Just kidding, I didn't ask that
What'd I say, I said what's that in your wallet, bald-headed Jasons?
I asked what you have in your wallet, you broke and pointless individuals
Nigga don't even carry wallets, all that
Guys like you don't even have wallets, forget it

Come on, let's stop pretending and be real
Niggas already got a new rumor
People are already spreading a new rumor
Saying 7-18 thugging in the 'caine, you know what's up
Spreading rumors about me and my gang being involved in drug-related activities
Ahh, tell 'em to go like this
Tell them to act like this, to react in a certain way
I'll beat your big homie up
I will physically confront your respected gang member
That's how you get that nigga, uhh
That's how you handle that person, provoke and engage in a physical fight
Come on, stop playing
Stop pretending, be real
Nigga you know this shit regular, alright
You know this is a normal occurrence, understand?
Nigga, shit I'm Mr. Everything nigga, let's be real
