Maxie Lee Ryles III (born March 29, 1990), known by his stage name Fivio Foreign, is an American rapper from New York. He first saw mainstream recognition for his 2019 single "Big Drip", which received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and spawned a remix featuring Lil Baby and Quavo. That same year, he signed with fellow New York rapper Mase's RichFish Records, in a joint venture with Columbia Records.[2][3][4]
Ryles saw his first entries on the Billboard Hot 100 for his guest appearances on the 2020 songs "Demons" by Drake and "Zoo York" by Lil Tjay—alongside Pop Smoke. He saw his furthest recognition for his appearance alongside Playboi Carti on Kanye West's 2021 single "Off the Grid", which peaked at number 11 on the chart and remains his highest charting song. His debut studio album, B.I.B.L.E. (2022) was met with generally positive critical reception and peaked within the top ten of the Billboard 200, supported by the lead single "City of Gods" (with Kanye West and Alicia Keys).
Ryles was nominated for Best New Artist at the 2022 BET Awards.
