Lindstrom signed with Interscope Records to release his 2019 debut single, "Shopping Spree" (featuring Lil Pump and Sheck Wes).[3] He has also released collaborative singles or mixtapes with artists including Smokepurpp, MadeinTYO, 24hrs, G Herbo, and PnB Rock, among others.[4] His producer tag utters "Murda on the beat so it's not nice!", for which he is frequently recognized.[5]
Lindstrom was raised in Fort Erie, Ontario, near Buffalo in a musical household and played drums as a child.[6] He began producing beats at age 17 while he was still in high school using FL Studio after leaving his drumset at his friend's house.[6] He chose his stage name "Murda Beatz" to promote his music on YouTube.[7] When he turned 18, he moved to Chicago, and later worked with established stars such as Chief Keef and Lil Durk. Lindstrom stated that he met most of his early artists through social media and mutual friends.[8][6] Eventually, he connected with Atlanta rap group Migos and moved in with them to start producing their music.[6]
Lindstrom is notable for being a lead or featured artist on some of the tracks he produces, similarly to DJ Khaled, Mustard, or Mike Will Made It.[8] He made the decision to transition to a "producer-artist," as Billboard describes it, in order to have more control and release music on his own timeline, instead of being dependent on the artists in the song.[8] He released his first mixtape, Keep God First, in December 2016.[9] He opened for G-Eazy's tour in the summer of 2018.[10] His first single as a lead artist, "Shopping Spree," was released in 2019 with Lil Pump and Sheck Wes. He released his second single, "Banana Split," which features YNW Melly and Lil Durk, in March 2020.[11][8] In March 2020, he confirmed the title of his debut album to be Murda She Wrote, with an initial release date of June 2020, on which it failed to release.[12]
In 2019, Lindstrom created his own record imprint, Murda Beatz Recordings, and signed singer Adam Halliday.[12]
In 2021, Lindstrom was honored in the Forbes 30 Under 30 listing under the music category.[13]
By June 2022, Lindstrom began dating the Brazilian singer Anitta, although they broke up two months later.[14]
