How did Lil West Make His Money & Wealth?
Hailing from Delaware, Lil West first took up rapping at the age of fourteen. Like many teens, he spent most of his free time listening to hip-hop music; in particular, he was fond of the work by King Curren$y. With time, he began to experiment with rap himself. While still in high school, he released his first project, a mixtape titled, Indigo– which was made possible with help from Florida-based music producer, Nodachi. A mix of dark, trap vibes and auto-tuned singing, it gave rise to a handful of tracks including, Pressure, Lil Mo Pressure, iLuvYou2, and Strap God.
By the end of the year, Lil West had dropped another mixtape titled, That’s Too Much. Created with the help of Yung Milkcrate, a producer based out of Nevada, the EP contained seven tracks, including Something Was Missing, I Can’t Come Back Sorry, Soon To Be, and #1Baller. Within two years, the project has managed to rack up over 23,000 streams online.
Riding on his momentum, the Delaware rapper came out with his next mixtape, Indigo 2 in the summer of 2016. A sequel to his 6-track EP, Indigo, Lil West’s raw vocal energy flawlessly shines through the different titles. Among the playlist are TwoBAdHoes, GrownBwoy, YouTasteGood, Flo Boy, and Fukk!CodeRED, all of which are produced by Elijah Wiley. On Soundcloud, the project has already racked up hundreds of thousands of streams; the most popular being that of Fukk!!CodeRED (Feat. Night Lovell), with over 448,000 plays.
Two years after his debut, he released his first major album, LW17 on September 1, 2017. Featuring Kevin Bedford, Kodie Shane, osno1, and Lil Aaron as guest artists, it boasted eleven tracks including I Win This Time, Where Everybody Go? Compared & Hated, Bit My Tongue Now My Mouth Bleeding, and R & R. Made available for streaming on Soundcloud, the playlist has garnered over 500,000 streams in the two months that it has been up online.
In addition to what he’s put out as a solo artist, Lil West has also collaborated with other acts on many occasions. For instance, he has teamed up with Ceej, Syringe, DANON, Mathaius Young, Indica, and Dojia V, to name a few. Some of these joint ventures include Raw, Leslie, Been Around, and Trust Me.
