Raised in North Dallas and Oak Cliff, Noble achieved commercial success with his 2018 single "Errybody" and collaborative projects with Louisiana rapper Boosie Badazz. On the morning of November 11, 2020, Noble was driving northbound on Interstate 35E near the Dallas Zoo when his vehicle was pursued and cornered in active traffic lanes by gunman Kewon Dontrell White. Noble exited his vehicle and fled on foot along the highway shoulder, but White pursued him with an assault rifle and fired multiple shots. Noble sustained fatal gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at a local trauma center at age 28.
