Fred the Godson was a big deal in the world of New York’s rap. According to NBC, Fred released his first mixtape in 2010 called Armageddon. Then, according to Complex, he came onto the scene in a big way in 2011, when he “appeared on the XXL Freshman cover alongside the likes of Kendrick Lamar and Mac Miller.” He also collaborated with Diddy, Meek Mill, and Pusha-T, per Complex. According to the outlet, despite Fred’s success, he never signed a label, surprisingly.
Although the exact figure of Fred the Godson’s net worth is unclear, it’s obvious the rapper was hugely successful and very prolific throughout his life. According to Complex, “this year alone, Fred the Godson dropped a solo project as well as a collaborative release with Jay Pharoah.” In March 2020, Fred posted about his new tape, Payback, which he promoted on Instagram.
The New York Times called Fred the Godson a “reliable, forceful presence,” and commended his ability to make words do what he wanted: “Double entendres, homophones, homonyms, assonance — he always found a way to bend a rhyme.”
