Lil Uzi Vert: Symere Woods or Uzi’s mix of dark, catchy and playful makes him easy to listen to for those who are dipping their toes into trap music for the first time. His lyrics could easily fit into any emo-punk, pop, rap or trap playlist, making him extremely popular among a diverse fan base.

Lil Yachty: Miles McCollum, an Atlanta-based rapper and singer, portrayed his various alter egos throughout his six albums. “Darnell Boat” is an uncle to Lil Yachty and “Lil Boat” is a more confident and aggressive version of Yachty.

Young Thug: Often overlooked by those who aren’t trap enthusiasts, Thugger’s sound is excitingly unpredictable and more diverse than many forgettable current artists. His self-titled album, “JEFFERY,” received critical acclaim in 2016.

Lil Pump: The name Gazzy Garcia already had star quality, but he chose to dedicate his rap name to his love for guns.

Young M.A: An abbreviation inspired by her last name, Katorah Marrero is one of the few female rappers under the “Young” umbrella. Young M.A’s smooth flow is unapologetically vulgar and never forgets to give to her home town of Brooklyn.
