Lil Yachty, the latest Internet sensation in hip-hop, isn't your typical Atlanta rapper. Instead of your standard trap beats, Yachty prefers to rap over sounds like, for instance, a flip of the Rugrats theme song. That isn't to say that Yachty isn't spitting, because he is, though he does lean on a very unorthodox style of melodies. A good way to describe Yachty's sound in a nutshell would be a blend of Makonnen and Lil B.
Whenever he drops a new song, his fans flock to listen, and that was the case with his debut mixtape, Lil Boat the Mixtape, which has racked up millions of plays in just a few days. There's something special about the kid, and though he's only taken his rap career seriously for a short bit of time, some major players in the game have taken notice. Yachty modeled in Kanye West's #YeezySeason3 fashion show, while his song "Minnesota" was spun on OVO Radio weeks ago. Even the legendary Rick Rubin has co-signed the 18-year-old rapper, as the two recently met up to talk about music and life while Yachty was in California. (VIA COMPLEX )
