Lil Yachty hit the Billboard charts with his 2015 singles ‘Minnesota’ (#84 Hot 100 Chart) and ‘1 Night’  (#36 R&B/Hip-hop Chart) before his ‘Summer Songs 2’ mixtape debuted at #3 on iTunes. With all eyes firmly on him, influential XXL Magazine declared him ‘rap’s next big thing’.

His recent debut headline tour The Boat Show Tour was a sell out across North America before joining fellow up-and-comers Rae Sremmurd’s wildly successful Sremmlife II Tour.

With the release of his debut album ‘Teenage Emotions’ imminent, expect the hype to follow Lil Yachty all the way down under this July.
