McCall extensively contributed to Brown's discography in the early 2010s through songwriting and production. He guest performed alongside Tyga on Brown's 2010 single "Deuces," as well as his 2011 single "Strip," which peaked at numbers 14 and 37 on the Billboard Hot 100, respectively. McCall's 2012 debut single, "Naked" (featuring Big Sean) seldom entered the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, and he later parted ways with RCA and Brown two years later in favor of an independent career.

Kevin Lamar McCall Jr. was born in Los Angeles, California, on July 25, 1985. He has three sisters. He went to high school in Carson, California.[2] Though he played football through most of his childhood and in college at Washington State University, he always had interest in music.[3] McCall started singing in the church choir, and later taught himself to play piano.[4]

McCall has two daughters, including one with model Eva Marcille.[5]

Sincerely, Kevin (2018)
