Webster was born in Houston, Texas. He grew up in Missouri City, a middle-class suburban area bordering southwest Houston. Webster lived with his grandmother, but later moved to the suburbs, where his father ran his own business. Webster attended a private elementary school and middle school though graduated from Elkins High School, a public high school at the age of seventeen. Webster then later attended the University of Texas at San Antonio before dropping out to fully pursue his music career when he was a sophomore.
After dropping out, Webster immediately moved to New York City in an attempt to start his music career. His parents, frustrated that he had dropped out of university, eventually cut him off financially.
At the age of 16, Webster embarked on his musical career as a record producer, with a focus on hip hop production. He subsequently entered his first partnership with his longtime friend, Chris Holloway, forming the duo The Graduates. In 2008, the duo released their untitled first EP on social networking website, Myspace.
The following year, Webster and OG Chess, one of Travis's schoolmates, formed the group The Classmates. The Classmates released two projects, with Buddy Rich in 2009 and Cruis'n USA in 2010. Webster mainly handled production work on both projects. The duo remained together until late 2012, when personal conflicts and financial disputes led to the disbandment of the group.
After leaving college, Webster moved from Houston, Texas, to Washington, New York, where Webster began working with friend Mike Waxx, who owned the music website Illroots. After moving to New York, Webster slept on the floor at his friend's house and spent most of his time at Just Blaze's studio. Eventually frustrated in New York and the lack of progression, Webster moved to Los Angeles, California, after only four months in the state.
In Los Angeles, Webster was abandoned by his friend who had promised to help him by providing housing. His parents cut him off financially and he eventually was forced to relocate back to Houston, where his parents kicked him out of their home. Webster moved back to Los Angeles once again and began to sleep on the couch of a friend who studied at University of Southern California. Atlanta-based rapper and owner of Grand Hustle Records, T.I. would later hear one of Webster's productions, titled 'Lights (Love Sick)'. While in Los Angeles, T.I.'s representative contacted Webster, asking him to attend a studio for a meeting. During the meeting, T.I. freestyled over 'Animal', one of Webster's productions.
Webster's first solo full-length project is a mixtape titled Owl Pharaoh, which was set to be released as a free download in 2012. However, the project was delayed, and was announced to be slated for a later release. The project was later re-created by Kanye West and Mike Dean, and was then again delayed for sample clearance issues. In promotion Webster would release the track, 'Blocka La Flame', a remix of fellow GOOD Music label-mate Pusha T's single 'Blocka' (which features production and vocals from Scott). The song was produced by Young Chop, with additional production by Webster himself, alongside Mike Dean. On March 22, 2013, Webster released the music video for a song titled 'Quintana', set to appear on Owl Pharaoh.
