A biography for Lil Yachtyhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm not a rapper; I'm an artist. And I'm more than an artist. I'm a brand.”
“I always knew I was going to be something. I didn't know what.”
“If you got the talent and the drive, there are ways to get noticed.”
“I go to the studio every night.”
“I love Beyonce and Jay Z.”
“I felt love on 'Lil Boat 2.' People say my first project, 'Lil Boat,' was my best project, but I didn't feel it because I was so new, and it took a minute to grow.”
“My dad used to play that Paul McCartney song 'Let 'Em In.' That was dope.”
“My only verse I remember really working on was 'Mixtape,' and I took 45 minutes on that because I wanted it to be tight.”
“I'm pretty normal. That's why I feel like I hope most teenagers can relate.”
“I used to have visions of flashing lights and red carpets.”
“I am happy every day, because life is moving in a very positive way.”
“I'm one of the biggest Kid Cudi fans of all time. He's very relatable.”
“Any post I do on social media, any song, anything in general - I just try to promote positivity, because I felt like there's not enough positivity going around in the world.”
“My only goal is to impress my fans.”
“When I made 'Lil Boat,' my first mixtape, I didn't have a drop date, a due date. I didn't have critics rating on it; I was just making it. And then when I finished it, I dropped it at my own smoothness, at my own pace.”
“I had braids before. They were real long, and they were black, but my mom made me cut them for the McDonald's job. Then, when I got the job, everybody had long braids and colored hair.”
“I hate serious rap. It's boring.”
“When I first started recording music, we would record in the closet with socks on the mic.”
“I was always curious about, like, how does hot sauce work? Growing up I used to wonder, 'If I touched it, was it hot?'”
