Controversial American rapper Lil Quill burst onto the Atlanta hip-hop scene in 2017 with his musical sidekick Yung Mal. The pair signed with Gucci Mane’s 1017 Eskimo Records and dropped the influential mixtape Blessed Lil Bastards, which was swiftly followed by the Kids of the 6 mixtape. The latter mixtape contained ‘Phonebook’, which has been streamed over 1 million times on Spotify alone. In 2020, Lil Quill began releasing solo material, including the EP Big Quill and two albums: Don Quillon and It Could Be Worse, all of which contained tracks that got hundreds of thousands of streams.
2020 was indeed a very busy year for Lil Quill, who also spent time in prison during the height of the Covid pandemic. He used the time to get sober and emerged from his time inside a recharged and energetic musician and writer serious about taking his career to the next level. He has been releasing tracks at a frenetic pace ever since, including ‘Sturdy’, a track released through the World Star Hip Hop channel on YouTube in October 2021. Within a month, the track had notched up over 300,000 views.
Lil Quill is massively popular on social media with over 205,000 Instagram followers. The majority of his content on the platform involves him posing with huge wads of dollars. As his tracks keep dropping and guest appearances keep coming, the wads will undoubtedly keep getting bigger.
