Maxie Lee Ryles III, known professionally as Fivio Foreign, was born on March 29, 1990, in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, New York City. He began rapping under the name “Lite Fivio” in 2011, later changing it to Fivio Foreign in 2013. That same year, he formed the music collective 800 Foreign Side with friends. His early life involved periods of housing instability after the death of his mother in 2016. These formative experiences influenced his musical development and approach.
Fivio Foreign gained significant attention in 2019 with the release of his single “Big Drip,” which later achieved platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This success led to a recording contract in November 2019 with Mase’s RichFish Records, in a joint venture with Columbia Records. The following year, he made his debut on the Billboard Hot 100 through guest appearances on Drake’s “Demons” and Lil Tjay’s “Zoo York.” In May 2020, he established the non-profit organization Foreignside Foundation, aimed at providing resources for at-risk youth, the homeless, and individuals with gang affiliations.
His career continued to progress with his inclusion in XXL’s 2020 Freshman Class. A notable milestone was his appearance alongside Playboi Carti on Kanye West’s 2021 single “Off the Grid,” which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking his highest-charting song to date. His debut studio album, “B.I.B.L.E.” (2022), received positive critical reception and reached number nine on the Billboard 200, supported by the lead single “City of Gods,” featuring Kanye West and Alicia Keys. He was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2022 BET Awards, further cementing his place in the music industry.
