The Atlanta rap scene continues to thrive in 2018, with a number artists from the A already making big splashes this year. Among those rising ATLiens is YFN Lucci, who has grown into a ble upstart since breaking out nationally with his 2016 mixtape Wish Me Well 2, which included his first hit single "Key to the Streets." He raised his stock even higher with the release his debut EP, Long Live Nut, which peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard 200. That project's PnB Rock-assisted lead single "Everyday We Lit" scored the Think It’s A Game Entertainment franchise player his most successful hit to date, putting him on the verge crossover success.
YFN Lucci can toe the line between the trap and the mainstream, a quality he's recently shown his February EP Freda's Son and his debut album Ray Ray from Summerhill. The latter features guest appearances from Meek Mill, Dreezy, Wale, and YFN Trae Pound. Producers 30 Roc, Budda Beats, Buddah Bless, Cheeze Beatz, Cuzzo, Dave-O, Jazze Pha, June James, Maxx Payne, Ness (HBTL), TiNo, Zaytoven and a host others contribute as well. Ray Ray from Summerhill should serve as yet another treat for Lucci fans new and old. ("Down," his update Cam'ron's 2004 classic "Down & Out," is a highlight).
