Lil Wyte, born Patrick Lanshaw on October 6, 1982, is an American rapper hailing from Memphis, Tennessee. Known for his quick-paced lyrical style and his emphasis on party-oriented, often provocative themes, Lil Wyte emerged into the hip-hop scene in the early 2000s. He gained significant attention with the success of his independently-released debut album, "Doubt Me Now," in 2003, which became a local hit and paved the way for his signing to Hypnotize Minds, a label run by the well-known rap duo Three 6 Mafia.

Throughout his career, Lil Wyte has maintained a loyal following, particularly in the Southern rap sphere, with a discography rich in raw emotion and personal experiences. His recent releases, among them "Takes One to Know One," "Family Recipe," and "D.Y.W.T. (Do You Want To)," continue to showcase his versatility and his ability to adapt to the evolving landscapes of rap while staying true to his unique sound. Not just content with thematic consistency, Lil Wyte also extends his creative expression to the marketing of his music, often self-releasing his works through his own label, Wyte Music Records. His single "Oxy Contin," in particular, has been one of his more notable tracks, reflecting not only his candid approach to music but his willingness to address serious topics such as substance abuse. Despite hurdles and changing music industry dynamics, Lil Wyte has proven his resilience and continued relevance in the rap game.
