In June 2017, Sheck released the viral single, “Mo Bamba.” The song is named after professional basketball player Mohamed Bamba who grew up playing basketball with Sheck.
”Me and Mo Bamba grew up together in the same neighborhood,” Sheck said in an interview. He added: ”He was always telling me, ‘Aw man, you gotta throw my name into a song!’”
“Mo Bamba” debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at #82.
On February 2, 2018, he inked a deal with Interscope Records through a joint venture between Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Records and Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music.

”I will always make my own path,” Sheck told Dazed Digital in September 2018. He went on to say: ”I love them both for their support, but I am my own man. My energy probably inspires them (and not the other way around).”
Debut Album
On October 5, 2018, Sheck released his debut album titled – ”Mudboy,” via Cactus Jack Records, GOOD Music, and Interscope Records. It debuted at #17 on the Billboard 200 in the US.
”I don’t like being called a rapper because I don’t just rap,” Sheck said. ”That’s restrictive – I’m an artist.”
”A Mudboy is just somebody who came from nothing: you know, who turned nothing into something,” Fall also explained.
In May 2019, Wes released a single about Senegalese professional footballer Sadio Mané. Some of the lyrics are:
”Sadio Mané, Mané Sadio
They told me that you’ll never walk alone, I know, I know.”
