      "details": "Valee is a Chicago-born rapper known for his minimalist delivery, deadpan charisma, and hypnotic approach to trap and street rap. Emerging from the city’s underground, he broke through with cult-favorite records like Womp Womp and Good Job, You Found Me, later releasing projects via Kanye West’s GOOD Music before continuing independently. Valee’s sound is defined by sparse beats, unconventional flows, and an anti-performative cool that has influenced a wave of modern rap aesthetics. He’s collaborated and shared stages with artists across the experimental and mainstream rap spectrum, earning a reputation as a tastemaker’s rapper with lasting cultural impact rather than trend-chasing appeal.",
