Khalil

Khalil Amir Sharieff (born November 22, 1994) is an American R&B singer, songwriter, and rapper from Sacramento, California. At the age of 13, he was discovered by record executive L.A. Reid and signed to Def Jam Recordings in 2008. He released his debut single, "Girlfriend Ringtone", in May 2010 and its follow up, "Hey Lil Mama" (featuring Lil Twist), the following year; the former lingered on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart. Due to their lack of commercial response, his album Hot Like Summer was shelved indefinitely. Khalil and Def Jam labelmate Justin Bieber were closely associated; Sharieff was an accomplice to Bieber's 2014 legal encounters and public mishaps.
