Lil West

Lil West is an American rapper and producer known for his introspective lyrics and moody blend of emo rap and trap. Emerging from New Jersey's underground scene around 2016, he gained recognition through platforms like SoundCloud for tracks that meld melodic vulnerability with raw, diary-like storytelling about relationships and mental health. His recent releases like *Tell Me Now* and *OUTTA MY MIND* showcase his signature mix of melancholy melodies and minimalist production, often pairing trap rhythms with confessional lyrics about love and existential angst. While maintaining a relatively low public profile, Lil West has collaborated with artists like Lil Skies and 6 Dogs, carving a niche in the emo rap wave with his unfiltered emotional delivery and DIY approach to both rapping and beat-making.
