About Lil Yachty
Lil Yachty is a 22-year old Atlanta native, a Grammy-nominated singer, rapper, producer, creative designer, branding genius and fashion icon who smashed onto the scene four years ago with his debut mixtape Lil Boat.
The sound of his debut mixtape was prophetic, creating a new wave of hip hop while laying out the blueprint for many of today’s most popular rap stars to follow.
In 2017, he released Teenage Emotions which entered the Billboard Top 200 at #5 and the 2018 follow up, Lil Boat 2,peaked at #2 on the Billboard 200. Since then he has found himself on the covers of PAPER and FADER magazines, as well as landing the cover of The New York Times Men’s Style section and a XXL Freshman cover.
Rolling Stone said his album Teenage Emotions is a “landmark moment that may change the way people rap,” while The New York Times dubbed him as an artist “that tells us where music is going.”
In 2020, Yachty’s recent solo track “Coffin” made rounds on TikTok with a dance challenge and hit #7 on the Billboard Top Triller chart.
He’s also grown his ever-expanding business acumen with the launch of his own crypto-currency as a partnership with Swiss platform Fyooz.
With the Lil Boat trilogy now at a close, Lil Yachty has been recognized for unleashing a sound that effortlessly bounces between rap to pop creating something entirely his own.
