What’s on your current playlist? I have a mixture of Hip Hop and R&B songs I listen to daily. In this assignment, we were tasked with creating audio showcasing our favorite musicians’ songs. For my project, I used tracks from Future, Lil Gotit, CEO Trayle, Gunna, and Young Thug.

Future
Born Nayvadius DeMun Cash, Future is a pioneer of melodic trap music and a staple in modern hip hop. Hailing from Atlanta, he broke out with his debut album Pluto in 2012 and went on to drop hits like “Mask Off,” “March Madness,” “Life Is Good,” and “Wait for U” featuring Drake and Tems. Future has won a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance and is known for his influence on both the sound and the emotional tone of today’s trap music, blending gritty street tales with auto-tuned melodies. He’s collaborated with nearly every major name in rap and continues to be one of the most streamed artists in the world.

Lil Gotit
Lil Gotit, born Semaja Render, is an emerging voice out of Atlanta’s new wave. Closely associated with his late brother Lil Keed and Young Thug’s YSL camp, Gotit gained buzz with his early project Hood Baby and tracks like “Da Real HoodBabies” and “Crazy Thoughts.” He’s known for his energetic delivery, playful ad-libs, and creative slang. While he hasn’t cracked the mainstream yet, he’s earned a loyal following and continues to grow his catalog with mixtapes like Top Chef Gotit and The Cheater.

CEO Trayle
CEO Trayle is one of the more underrated but respected figures in the Atlanta underground. With a sound that blends eerie production with whispery, laid-back flows, he’s known for tracks like “OK Cool,” “Love Is War,” and “Happy Halloween C4.” His music often leans into storytelling and emotional complexity, standing out from more traditional trap sounds. Though he's not a household name yet, Trayle has built a strong fanbase through consistency and staying true to his raw, introspective style.

Gunna
Born Sergio Kitchens, Gunna rose to fame through his collaborations with Young Thug and the Drip Season mixtape series. His breakout hits include “Drip Too Hard” (with Lil Baby), “Pushin P” (with Future and Young Thug), and “Fukumean.” Known for his slick fashion sense and melodic flow, Gunna has been a chart-topping artist and was nominated for a Grammy. Despite facing legal troubles as part of the YSL indictment, he made a strong comeback with A Gift & A Curse in 2023, showing his versatility and resilience as an artist.

Young Thug
Young Thug, real name Jeffery Lamar Williams, is considered one of the most influential artists of his generation. Breaking onto the scene with songs like “Stoner” and “Danny Glover,” he has since dropped hits like “Best Friend,” “Hot” (with Gunna), and “The London” (with J. Cole and Travis Scott). Thug is known for his unique vocal style, gender-bending fashion, and ability to spot and mentor rising talent. His label, YSL Records, helped launch the careers of Gunna, Lil Keed, and others. Thug’s career is currently on hold due to a high-profile RICO case, but his legacy in shaping modern rap remains undeniable.
