Ameer Emmanuel Vann (born September 22nd, 1996) is an American rapper hailing from Houston, Texas. He is a former member of Los Angeles-based boyband BROCKHAMPTON.

With a troubled childhood of drug and alcohol abuse, poverty, violence, and overexposure to racism, much of Vann’s lyrical content revolves around his depression and the drug habits he’s developed to cope with it.

Prior to BROCKHAMPTON’s rise to fame in 2017, he’d released a plethora of singles. The oldest song found in Vann’s solo discography is titled “Disconsolate,” released sometime in 2014 with a visual that somehow surfaced online years later. Back then, Vann was apart of AliceSinceForever, a music collective he’d formed with childhood friend Kevin Abstract that would eventually regroup to form BROCKHAMPTON.

In 2015, Ameer would go to drop “a wizard told me”, another random single. Alongside BROCKHAMPTON’s debut project ALL-AMERICAN TRASH, Ameer would go to drop two singles throughout 2016: “Sincerely, Yours” and “I’m sorry," both of which garnered him a prominent liking from fans due to his honest, raw sentiment in them. He dropped 2017’s “High Tolerance” amidst BROCKHAMPTON’s well renowned SATURATION trilogy.

On May 11th, 2018, Ameer was met with abuse allegations and subsequent robbery accusations. While there’s no conclusive evidence (available to Genius) as to whether or not either claim is true, Vann ultimately parted ways with BROCKHAMPTON on May 27th, 2018 as a result. He then deactivated all social media outlets and had seemingly disappeared from the spotlight.

However, on September 9th, 2019—a little over a year after the controversy—Ameer’s instagram page was suddenly reactivated. After ridding the account of all his old photos, he posted a singular picture of him standing in front of a billboard advertising his comeback EP, EMMANUEL. The project dropped on September 18th, 2019. It was notably Ameer’s first piece of music since his departure from BROCKHAMPTON, as well as his first cohesive project as a solo artist.
