lilboiblu: Upcoming Artst in Hip-Hop and Pop

Most of his music is primarily Hip-hop, fusing Pop, Rock, and other various genres into his songs in the process. He is an independent West Coast artist who self-produces, writes, records, and directs his own songs. He can also play two instruments, these being the violin and the piano. He started making his own music at the age of 12.

He’s always loved rapping. When he was eight years old, he got his Mother to record a rap he wrote about Takis, and this rap was actually sampled by the artist over nine years later on his track, “Kid In The Mirror”. He always had the dream to do music, but he just lacked the confidence for many years. That was until he got into the fifth grade, and at age 11, he joined his elementary school’s orchestra, where he began playing the violin just like his older sister, who also played the violin and joined her school orchestra in fifth grade.

He claims his older sister is the reason he wanted to join the orchestra, as he saw how much fun she had by being in one. Once he got into middle school, his music taste started to change. It began to shift from whatever the radio or his parents played in the car to his own personalized taste. By sixth grade, he started to fall in love with artists such as Eminem and Kanye West. By seventh grade, he discovered Tyler, the Creator from the word of mouth of a girl in his history class, that he unfortunately doesn’t remember the name of. Tyler became one of his favorite artists, as he recognized that Tyler was authentically himself, and didn’t care about what people thought of him, not only in his music alone yet in his personality too.

The young artist adapted this attitude, and by the eight grade, he was starting to really find himself and become a lot stronger, not only mentally but physically too, as he was starting to get into weight lifting in middle school. Not only that, but he grew roughly 10 inches of height from age 12 to 13, which also sparked his confidence. By the ninth grade, he started uploading his songs to YouTube for the first time ever. However, these songs from his Freshman year aren’t available on YouTube anymore, as the artist says that he took them down later on due to them paling in comparison to his more recent music now.

In his Sophomore year, he started working on his first EP that would go on to be released early into his Junior year, which is also wiped from the internet now, but was called “playing/possum” and had very dark subject matter, touching on topics such as suicide, insomnia, and trauma. The EP consisted of eight tracks. The two reasons you can’t find this project now are due to it is weak compared to his work now, and due to how dark it was. Later on in his Junior year, he released his second EP, “Bridges Burn,” which, unlike the other music covered so far, is still available to listen to on Spotify, YouTube, and SoundCloud.

Senior year brought us his most recent project, an LP named “Being Soulless Won’t Bring You Solace,” which was released on his 18th birthday. This project is a significant step up in quality and even received a TikTok review praising it from TikTok influencer Aaron Hampshire, who described it as one of the most underrated experimental Hip-hop releases of 2025. Fast forward to now, and the artist is set to release his next full-length LP, “Regrets & Resets,” on September 10, 2026, which coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day. The album is set to feature 17 tracks, with a runtime of one hour, which is over twice the length of his last album.
