Russ is a do-it-yourself kind of guy.  With his 2017 album There's Really A Wolf he became the first rapper to ever go platinum without any producers or features.

He's also a big advocate for staying as independent as possible.

The 27-year old stunted some of the spoils of his independence on Instagram, displaying two songs on his TuneCore account that he's made seven figures on.

Russ, who's knocked out 14 albums, is not popular in the rap game for his arrogance and scolding attitude.

But there's a reason Doja Cat wants to f*ck him.
