Lil Mosey, a talented rapper known for his distinct Atlanta trap style, emerged on the music scene from the Pacific Northwest. His breakthrough came in late 2017 with the viral sensation “Pull Up,” showcasing trap bass, light melody, and a singsong delivery reminiscent of artists like Lil Yachty and Desiigner. The track garnered millions of streams for the young Seattle musician, who released his debut tape, NorthsBest, in 2018. Lil Mosey’s follow-up project, Certified Hitmaker, featured collaborations with Chris Brown, Gunna, and Trippie Redd, debuting at number 12 on the album chart in 2019. This album also produced the hit single “Blueberry Faygo,” reaching number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2020 and setting the stage for more tracks such as “Jumpin’ Out the Face” and the 2021 release “Holy Water.” His 2022 EP Uni preceded the launch of his third album.
Raised by his mother in the north side of the Emerald City, Lil Mosey found his passion for rapping in his early teens, drawing inspiration from Meek Mill’s Dreams and Nightmares. Choosing to drop out of high school to pursue his music aspirations, Lil Mosey ventured to Los Angeles to kickstart his music career. By sharing his early songs online, he gradually built a loyal following with tracks like “Off White” and “So Bad,” both of which featured on his debut mixtape, NorthsBest, self-released in 2017. The breakout track, “Pull Up,” launched him into 2018, followed by the single “Boof Pack” under Interscope Records.
As Lil Mosey’s popularity surged, he embarked on nationwide tours alongside artists such as SmokePurpp, Smooky Margiela, and Juice Wrld. His debut full-length album, Northsbest, released in 2018, debuted impressively on the Billboard 200, featuring the chart-topping single “Noticed” that achieved platinum status. Subsequent hits like “Bust Down Cartier” and “G Walk” with Chris Brown preceded the arrival of his second album, Certified Hitmaker, by the end of the year. This sophomore project, climbing to number 12 on the Billboard 200, included collaborations with Gunna and Trippie Redd, further solidifying Lil Mosey’s position in the music industry.
