Żabson was born on 2 July 1994 in Opoczno, Poland, and was raised there.[1] In 2011 he came to Kielce and looked for people who were also interested in rap. He took part in freestyle fights in clubs, where he met the rapper Chaos. Thanks to him he started his music career.[2] He also went to high school in Kielce.

His stage name is the nickname his friends called him when he was younger.[3]

He has collaborated with artists such as Borixon, Quebonafide, Białas, Kaz Bałagane, Solar and Sitek, among others.

Żabson is inspired by music from Atlanta and Chicago. Some of his favorite artists are Kanye West, Travis Scott, Young Thug, and A$AP Rocky (who he believes started a new era of hip-hop). He loves simple trap backgrounds. He has a very melodic way of rapping. He doesn't try to convey a message - he prefers to talk about parties, girls and making money.
