YK Osiris

Osiris Jahkail Williams, known professionally as YK Osiris, was born on September 7, 1998, in Jacksonville, Florida. He began his music career at a young age, initially releasing music under his birth name before adopting “YK Osiris,” an initialism for Young King Osiris, for his future projects. His early work gained traction in 2017 with the song “Fake Love,” setting the foundation for his professional journey.

His career saw a significant turning point in 2018 with the release of “Valentine,” which quickly achieved platinum certification by the RIAA. This success led to a recording contract with Def Jam Recordings the same year. In 2019, he released his most commercially successful single, “Worth It,” which peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 and earned triple platinum certification from the RIAA. The single preceded his debut studio album, “The Golden Child,” released in October 2019 under Def Jam Recordings, which was later certified Gold by the RIAA. That same year, he also made a Billboard Hot 100 entry for his feature on DaBaby’s song “Gospel,” which reached number 55.

YK Osiris was released from Def Jam Recordings in 2022. In 2023, he released an independent single titled “Dear Fans.” The following year, 2024, marked a new chapter as he signed with Drummer Records and released the single “Time Goes By” in February.
