Adam Kelly (born October 13, 1996), better known by his stage name Adamn Killa, is an American rapper from Chicago, Illinois. Adamn initially started making music at the age of 14, joining the group 197 O$G with fellow Chicago-rapper LUCKI.

After high school, Adamn attended Illinois Central College on a full baseball scholarship. Adamn would start to build a real name for himself throughout 2016 when he started working with Swedish rappers Yung Lean, Bladee and Thaiboy Digital, creating popular songs like “Psycho,” “Ten” and “Cashin.” He would later drop out from college to join them throughout Europe for the Warlord Tour, leaving his baseball career behind and pursuing music full time from there on.

On March 30, 2016, Adamn released his debut mixtape, Back 2 Ballin under YEAR0001. Not even two months later, Adamn released what would become his biggest song to date, “Ten” featuring Yung Lean.

Adamn would eventually split away from Yung Lean and Bladee due to his falling out with his former European manager Emilio Fagone, one of the founders of YEAR0001. The next couple of years were stagnant for Adamn.

In a November 2024 interview, Adamn revealed that he was previously offered a record deal in 2018 from Kanye West to sign to G.O.O.D. Music, alongside many other major record labels. Adamn and his team turned down these offers however due to them not favoring Adamn’s creative or financial needs, instead choosing to remain fully independent.

He would briefly step away from music in 2021 as it was no longer a reliable source of income. He focused his efforts into other ventures, such as investing into various crypto currencies and doing Uber/Uber Eats. He eventually returned to music as he wasn’t as happy while not creating.

Adamn started to see a resurgence in popularity throughout 2024 with songs like “Prada at 13,” “Torta Pounder” and “A.D.H.D Rant 1.” He would capitalize off this buzz by releasing his February 2025 mixtape A.D.H.D Rant Vol. 1.
