Lil Yachty is one of those rappers who has seemingly come out of nowhere. We haven’t gotten to see the usual progress from early mixtape to a well-rounded artist, instead encountering a fully-formed artist in “Yachty.”
We recently had the fascinating Lil Yachty in HotNewHipHop’s studio for an episode of “On The Come Up.” Yachty talks about his youth (“I was a weird kid”), his master plan for making it big, and what “Flex Music” is. He also talks about meeting Ian Connor and connecting over his dope Supreme hoodie.
Ever the master planner, Lil Yachty has big moves in mind for 2016. Watch the whole thing and be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel for the first look at artists that are about to blow.
