Wiki was raised on the Upper West Side in Manhattan.[1] He attended the Brooklyn Friends School, and is of Puerto Rican ancestry on his father's side and Irish-American on his mother's side. His mother grew up in suburban Westchester County, New York.

He began his music career in 2011 as a member of the New York City hip hop group Ratking with Hak and Sporting Life.[1] In a 2012 interview, he stated that his rap name is an allusion to Wikipedia.[2] Wiki released his debut solo extended play 1993 on October 2, 2011. 1993 was later re-released as Ratking's debut extended play Wiki93 on November 2, 2012. Ratking released their debut single "100" on November 18, 2013. They then released their debut studio album So It Goes on April 7, 2014.[3] Ratking released their second extended play 700-Fill on March 4, 2015.

Wiki released his debut solo mixtape Lil Me on December 7, 2015.[1] Wiki and fellow rapper Your Old Droog released their collaborative extended play What Happened to Fire? on February 2, 2017.[1] Wiki's debut solo album No Mountains in Manhattan was released on August 25, 2017. The album is named after a line from the 1973 Martin Scorsese film Mean Streets.[3]
