Career

In 2016, Lil Mosey uploaded his first song, titled "So Bad", to the music streaming service SoundCloud, quickly receiving 50,000 views. On November 13, 2016, Mosey competed and placed fourth at the Coast 2 Coast Live Seattle All Ages Edition.

"Pull Up" was Lil Mosey's first released track and served as his debut commercial single.[12] Its music video reached over 25 million views on YouTube in the first 16 months upon its release.[3] On March 14, 2018, Mosey released his second commercial single "Boof Pack". Its music video has received over 13 million views on YouTube in just over a year after its release.[13] Around 4 months later, the rapper released "Noticed" as his third commercial single alongside a music video directed by Cole Bennett, also with the help of Jesus Sevilla, his cousin. The music video was viewed just short of 10 million times within the first two weeks of its release.[14] In the video, "Mosey and his friends live the good life as they relax in a luxury apartment, which overlooks a beautiful beach".[15]

On October 19, 2018, he released his debut studio album titled Northsbest, which includes all three of his commercial singles and eight other tracks.[4] The album's only listed feature is BlocBoy JB.

On November 8, 2019, he released his second studio album, Certified Hitmaker.[16] The album was reissued on February 7, 2020, with the release of the single, "Blueberry Faygo". The song later became his highest-peaking song on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number 11, and charted well internationally.[17] On June 26, 2020, Lil Mosey released the single "Back at It" featuring Lil Baby. It will appear on the upcoming deluxe edition of Certified Hitmaker.[18]

Musical style

Lil Mosey is known for his melodic flow and lyrics that are tailored to his life.[4] When asked if the term "mumble rap" applies to him in an interview with Complex, Lil Mosey says "I wouldn’t consider myself a mumble rapper, because I don’t know what that is. But when I talk, I mumble."[19] Although Lil Mosey does not consider his sound to be similar to Meek Mill's, he does consider the rapper an influence as in an interview with XXL Magazine, he describes how he would always listen to Meek Mill's single titled "Dreams and Nightmares" when he was younger.[14] When asked in the same interview about what comparisons he has drawn, Mosey responded "Music-wise, they be comparing me to Drake".[14]

Live performances

Lil Mosey has toured with rappers Smooky MarGielaa, Lil Tjay, Polo G and Smokepurpp.[19] In 2018, Lil Mosey was on tour with rapper and singer Juice Wrld and rapper YBN Cordae, serving as the opening act for Juice Wrld's WRLD Domination Tour.[4] He has also received a co-sign from Lil Xan, and he says his first real live performance as an established artist came when Lil Xan brought him on stage during his concert in Seattle.[19] The rapper also performed at Rolling Loud in 2018. Lil Mosey has also toured with Sauve and Bandkidjay. He has given free performances, such as one in Seattle for a baby toy drive. He toured Europe, Canada and the US on the Certified Hitmaker Tour.
