    When OsamaSon steps onto a stage, the ground doesn’t shake—it erupts. The 21-year-old artist, born Amari Middleton, may have started out making demos with kids’ sample packs in a family home studio in South Carolina, but today, he’s front and center in hip-hop’s most volatile genre: rage.

    OsamaSon’s journey didn’t begin with glossy streaming numbers or label co-signs. It started in Goose Creek, a small city where his uncles made music in converted bedrooms and basements. By fifth grade, he was writing his own bars. By high school, he was uploading songs to SoundCloud—even when no one, not even his friends, liked them. But what they didn’t see, OsamaSon already knew: his sound was ahead of its time.

    Before the name OsamaSon stuck, he was Damn 4K, producing tracks and engineering sessions for extra cash. Then came PradaUMari, another version of the same kid hungry to break through. That early hustle, the years spent mastering FL Studio, now gives him full control of his sound. He doesn’t just rap over beats—he builds them from the inside out. That control, that intention, shows in his breakout mixtapes Vengeance and Carnival, both of which laid the foundation for 2023’s Osama Season and Flex Musix—records that caught the attention of fans and A&Rs alike.

    Will Cramer, now at Atlantic Records, was drawn in by the live energy—a chaos that didn’t just sound good in earbuds, but cracked open full venues. “It felt like a four-dimensional TikTok,” Cramer said.

    “It wasn’t just online hype. People showed up”

    And they still do. OsamaSon’s fanbase is feral, loyal, and archiving his every unreleased snippet like rare gems. Whole Instagram accounts—OsamaSon Vault, OsamaSon Archive—are dedicated to curating his early, grainy uploads. Unlike many artists trying to hide their early work, Osama leaves his up. His progression is traceable, transparent.

    “I used to think people would’ve liked this if more had just heard it”

    The rage-rap scene—pulsing, distorted, bass-heavy—has no shortage of imitators, but OsamaSon isn’t trying to replicate anyone. Not Playboi Carti. Not Ken Carson. While the internet’s tried to pin him against them, he’s too busy collaborating with the likes of Glokk40Spaz, Nettspend, Rok, and Legion, building a collective that echoes the 2010s SoundCloud wave, but updated for a more interactive, post-pandemic internet.

    His latest album Jump Out, released in early 2025, follows fan-favorite singles “Ik What You Did Last Summer” and “Just Score It,” and it’s already pushing him across borders. Tour stops in the UK, Thailand, and upcoming dates in Canada are proof that this is no longer underground—it’s everywhere.

    But OsamaSon isn’t just streaming numbers or mosh pits. He’s approachable. Candid. A kid who loved music so much, he refused to stop—even when no one listened. That same spirit fuels his creative risk-taking now. Sure, some tracks still feel raw or repetitive, but you don’t come to OsamaSon for polish. You come for the moment when the beat drops, your feet leave the floor, and for a few chaotic minutes, everything feels alive.

    So, yes, OsamaSon is flexing. But it’s not ego. It’s the sound of someone who never gave up, finally getting heard.
