Lil Yachty, born Miles Parks McCollum on August 23, 1997, is an American rapper and songwriter who first rose to prominence in 2015 with his viral hit "One Night" and his standout feature on the hit song "Minnesota" from his debut extended play 'Summer Songs'. Characterized by his playful lyrics, whimsical ad-libs, and a distinct, autotuned vocal style that often sails over buoyant, melodic trap beats, Lil Yachty quickly became an emblematic figure of the SoundCloud rap era, carving out a niche with his youthful, irreverent approach to hip hop.

Having released his debut mixtape 'Lil Boat' in 2016, he has gone on to earn both commercial and critical success. Yachty's career has been marked by a series of successful releases such as 'Teenage Emotions' and 'Lil Boat 2', which further cemented his position in the hip-hop realm. His signature creative vision is not limited to music, as he’s ventured into fashion and voice acting, too. With a discography that continues to expand and evolve, tracks like "Daily Bread" and "Poland" showcase Yachty’s versatility and continued relevance in a dynamic musical landscape. His 2023 project "Let’s Start Here." signals a bold departure from his earlier sound, indicating the artist's willingness to experiment and evolve while maintaining the unique, playful charm that has garnered him a dedicated fanbase.
