Widner DeGruy, also known by his stage name Flow, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer from New Orleans, Louisiana. Flow began his music career with hip hop group, The Flamez and is the CEO of Flame Gang Music. In 2012, he signed to Lil Wayne's label Young Money Entertainment. That same year, Flow formed another group called L.A.T. with rappers Gudda Gudda and Kevin Gates.

Career

2008–present: Career beginnings and mixtapes

In 2008, Flow released numerous freestyles with fellow New Orleans rappers DY and Skitz on the mixtape, How 2 Grind Vol. 2.[1] Flow also formed the hip hop group, The Flamez and the label Flame Gang Music with his friends 12 Shotty and Slim Boogie And their music producer Niyo Davinci. In 2009, DeGruy released his debut mixtape, Heroic Vol. 1 as "Flow da Esho Hero" on Flame Gang Music. DeGruy got signed to Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment after featuring on the song, "Inkredibles" with T@, Thugga, and Raw Dizzy. The song appeared on Wayne's, Sorry 4 the Wait. In August 2012, Flow released his second mixtape, Wolf All Produced By Niyo Davinci on Flame Gang Music, Young Money Entertainment, and Cash Money Records.[2]

After frequently collaborating with singer Christian Radke, Radke and Flow released a collaboration mixtape titled, Brothers from Another Kolor on February 13, 2013.[3] In The mixtape was released on iTunes on June 14, 2014.[4] In March 2014, Flow appeared on the song, "Fresher Than Ever" with rappers Jae Millz, Gudda Gudda, Birdman, and Mack Maine on the Young Money compilation album, Rise of an Empire. On June 3, 2014, Flow released his third mixtape, Withdrawals on Flame Gang Music, Young Money Entertainment, and Cash Money Records. The mixtape was supported by the two singles, "Withdrawals" and "Fuck Off".[5][6][7]

Legal issues

In July 2013, DeGruy was arrested for attempted first-degree murder in Chalmette and two counts of armed robbery. DeGruy was arrested in the Oakland, California, area recently by a U.S. Marshal's task force and was returned to Chalmette for prosecution after waiving extradition. DeGruy had fled to California after arrest warrants alleged that he had shot at, and narrowly missed, a man he knew on April 29. He allegedly had beaten and robbed two men of cash and their cell phones.[8] DeGruy was released from the St. Bernard Parish Sheriff Office in December 2013.[9]

In May 2015, DeGruy and two others were indicted for the double murder of brothers, Kendrick and Kendred Bishop.[10] New Orleans police took DeGruy into custody on September 25 along with his girlfriend, Jamya Brady, who was accused of helping him elude cops. Police say DeGruy dropped his cell phone at the murder scene and returned with a lie about dropping the device. He later changed up his story, according to The Advocate. Alleged accomplice Jonathan "Lil Joe" Evans, who is also charged in the murder indictment, has been behind bars since July 2015. The fourth suspect, Chantell Edwards, faces accessory to murder charges, though police have yet to track her down. Evans and DeGruy were reportedly identified through surveillance video from the crime scene. Both men gave fake names upon their arrest.[11] His bail has been set at $3.5 million.[12]
