Atlanta rapper Lil Keed was raised in the same rough neighborhood as Young Thug, growing up being heavily influenced by Thug's music before eventually signing with his YSL label when he started rapping himself. Lil Keed's style stayed true to the trippy, autotuned trap style that Thug helped usher in, and after establishing himself locally in the greater Atlanta area, he broke through nationally on the strength of singles like "Fetish".Lil Keed first started making music with his younger brother Lil Gotit, posting songs online and scoring some regional hits around 2017. The death of a friend who also rapped motivated him to take his music more seriously and he started spending all of his time in the studio stockpiling new tracks. Early mixtapes and songs like "Blicky Blicky" helped make a name for the rapper around Atlanta and he soon signed on with YSL for the release of his 2018 Mixtape Trapped On Cleveland 2. Before the year was out he released a remix of his song "Fetish" featuring a guest spot by Young Thug and returned with the star-studded Keed Talk To 'Em mixtape. The 15 track collection reworked some of his best known songs and included featured verses from big names like 21 Savage, Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, Lil Durk and many others. ~ Fred Thomas - iHeart Radio
