Terry Sanchez Wallace Jr., known professionally as Tee Grizzley, is an American rapper. He first began posting music online in 2011; following a two year prison sentence, he released the song "First Day Out" in 2017. It quickly gained viral status-earning two million views on RU-vid in under three weeks-due to a social media challenge enacted by basketball player LeBron James, after which the song peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 and led him to sign with 300 Entertainment. Its release preceded his debut mixtape My Moment, and was followed by the single "From the D to the A", which received double platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America. His collaborative mixtape with Lil Durk, Bloodas, was followed by his debut studio album, Activated.
The album peaked at number ten on the Billboard 200, while his second and third albums, the Timbaland-produced Scriptures and Built for Whatever, peaked at numbers 20 and 15, respectively. His fourth album, Tee's Coney Island marked a period of commercial resurgence as its lead single, "IDGAF" entered the Billboard Hot 100 once more.
