The person responsible for the hit goes by the name of Miami XO (Emmannuel Bright's stage name). The young American rapper saw his life change after the track Bazooka went viral in an overwhelming way.
The Story Behind the Music (Or the Lack of It)
Many netizens began to theorize about the meaning of the lyrics: was it a profound metaphor or just a dark joke? Miami XO himself tried to clear up the mystery. In an interview with podcaster Luhsyke, he revealed that there was no tragic or profound inspiration.
He explained that that night he was trying to record a serious song in the studio, but he wasn't able to create anything he liked. Frustrated, he decided to go back to his roots: making meme songs. Miami XO revealed that he grew up in this environment and that his first composition in life was called Doo Doo Stains.

What began strictly as a digital phenomenon and an inside joke of the internet quickly spilled over into the real world. The artist has already started doing live performances and, to the madness of the fans, has adopted the aesthetic for good.
