{"title":"Lil Yachty","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Lil Yachty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMiles Parks McCollum, performing as Lil Yachty (and as Lil Boat in his earlier material), was born in Mableton, Georgia on August 23, 1997. He launched his recording career on SoundCloud in the mid-2010s and was signed to Quality Control Music. His distinctive red braided hairstyle and his early Lil Boat (2016) and Teenage Emotions (2017) mixtapes brought him commercial attention. He was widely cited as a defining figure in the bubblegum trap subgenre of the mid-2010s. His 2023 album Let's Start Here represented a creative pivot - a psychedelic rock-and-funk album produced largely by Magdalena Bay, MGMT, and Patrick Wimberly - that received critical reassessment of his work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLil Yachty's sound has spanned hip hop, trap, mumble rap, bubblegum trap, alternative hip hop, psychedelic rock, and pop, with progressive stylistic exploration.
