Born London Tyler Holmes in Atlanta, Georgia, the artist who would become known as London on da Track is best known for his collaborations with rapper Young Thug. But even though he's only been around for a few years, London on da Track has collaborated with a who's who of hip hop: Gucci Mane, Rich Homie Quan, 50 Cent, and Nicki Minaj are just a few of the many rappers that have utilized his skills both behind the mic and behind the boards. He also has a track coming out soon with — wait for it — Noah Cyrus.
But let's look at what else we know about this hot rapper-turned-producer.
