Lil Yachty (real name – Miles Parks McCollum) is an American singer and rapper who released his debut studio album, Teenage Emotions, in 2017.
Yachty first gained an appreciation for songs like “Minnesota” and “One Night” off his debut EP Summer Songs.
The Guardian called his music:
“fun, hook-first pop rap oblivious to songcraft and structure that doesn’t take itself too seriously, with very little interest in legacy and even less in rap canon.”
Rolling Stone described his music as:
“catchy, intentionally dinky-sounding tunes packed with off-color boasts delivered in a proudly amateurish singsong.”
His songs have sampled sounds ranging from the startup sound of a GameCube console to the theme from Rugrats, Charlie Brown, and Mario Bros. Yachty has called his style “bubblegum trap.”
