With a knack for enthralling, soulful and lucid storytelling, Lil Poppa has earned a reputation as one of rap’s most affecting young voices. At just 23, the Jacksonville, FL rapper has experienced some of life’s most traumatic lows and triumphant highs, channeling these experiences into weighty music about his hometown that meditates on the unforgiving nature of the streets. Poppa’s deeply personal lyrics and singular perspective earned him a deal with Interscope’s Rule #1 joint venture, where he released four projects in three years, including 2021’s critically acclaimed Blessed, I Guess, before signing with Yo Gotti’s CMG Records in 2022. His mainstream breakthrough came with a pair of singles in 2018: “Nightmare on Elm St.” and the plaintive “Purple Hearts,” an independent release that organically amassed millions of views on Youtube in 2018. “Purple Hearts” caught the ear of Chicago star Polo G, who resonated with the song so much he teamed up with Poppa for their smash hit “Eternal Living” from 2019’s Under Investigation 2 and took Lil Poppa on his headlining national tour as a support act. That momentum carried into the release of 2020’s Evergreen Wildchild 2 (2020), and then Blessed, I Guess (2021), his most critically acclaimed album to date, praised by Pitchfork for standing out as “one-of-a-kind” within the saturated “pain rap” subgenre. When not making music, Lil Poppa gives back to the community, hosting annual school supply drives and most recently teaming up with fellow Jacksonville rapper Nardo Wick to host inaugural Wicked-Wildchild United Summer Bash celebrating their hometown. Whether he’s busy in the community or getting his songs played at NBA finals, Poppa is a once in a generation storyteller whose mission is to deliver relatable music that helps to navigate life’s ups and downs.
