Hip-hop history comprises countless underdog stories.
However, nothing quite compares to the come-up of King Lil G.
Tracing the kind of rags-to-riches trajectory that’s typically reserved for the big screen, the Mexican rapper, entrepreneur, and proud father has gone from humble beginnings as an immigrant to international renown for both his music and business acumen. Emerging as a preeminent Mexican spitter, he reps a culture certainly known for consuming dyed-in-the-wool American hip-hop, yet rarely associated with creating it on a global scale. At the same time, he embodies a universal experience amplified by his tireless grind, inventive approach, and undeniable talent. It’s why he’s piled up nearly 1 billion total streams and views under-the-radar, sold out numerous shows, and earned acclaim from HYPEBEAST, Vibe, and XXL in addition to a co-sign from none other than Kendrick Lamar.
Now, King Lil G tells his story like never before on his 2024 album 18 Days and I’m Gone [Empire 47 Records/808 Kartel/Compound Interest].
