Life and Career of IceJJFish

On November 25, 2013, IceJJFish released his first song, "On the Floor." The music video for it came out on YouTube on February 6, 2014. A company called ThatRaw.com helped make and share the video.

"On the Floor" was a huge success for him. The video got over 10 million views in just one month. Now, it has more than 85 million views. His special music style made media call him an "internet idol" and "internet sensation." Some people even said "On the Floor" was one of the worst songs of the 2010s.

In 2014, IceJJFish was a guest on the show Loiter Squad. This show was made by the group Odd Future. On the show, he made a funny song with Tyler, the Creator. The song was called "I Just Bought A Bugatti (I'm Happy)." Critics liked it because it was so humorous.

Later in 2015, IceJJFish appeared on Nick Cannon's show Wild N' Out. He took part in a rap battle with the show's regular cast.

In the late 2010s, IceJJFish had some disagreements with other artists. He said musicians like Lil Yachty were copying his sound. Because of this, he released an EP called LilJJFish. The cover of this EP showed McLoyd looking like Lil Yachty.

After this, IceJJFish changed his music style. He switched from R&B to gospel. The music he released in 2019 showed this new gospel sound. On October 5, 2022, IceJJFish shared on social media that he got married.
