Musical Career
Lil Wop began his music career in 2016. He moved from Chicago to Atlanta to focus on his music. Atlanta is a major city for the hip-hop music scene.
Early Releases
In 2016, Lil Wop released his first project, a collection of songs called Wopster. In 2017, he released a single called "Gotcho..." with his cousin, the rapper Famous Dex. Later that year, he worked with the rapper Trippie Redd on a mixtape titled Angels & Demons. A mixtape is like an album, but it's often released for free to promote an artist.
Working with 1017 Records
In the summer of 2017, the famous rapper Gucci Mane signed Lil Wop to his record label, 1017 Records. This was a big step in Lil Wop's career. Being signed to a major label helps artists reach more listeners.
In 2018, he released an EP called Silent Hill. An EP, or extended play, is a short collection of songs, longer than a single but shorter than a full album. Later that year, he released another project called Wopavelli 4.
In March 2022, Lil Wop announced that he was no longer signed to 1017 Records and was an independent artist.
