Rising from the streets of Atlanta but with a distinct Southern flair, rapper Lil Kasso laid his introspective rhymes atop melodic trap, resulting in a hybrid form that captured the ears of both regions. In a big year for the rising MC, he released his 2018 breakthrough single, "Dope Hole," which landed on Neighborhood Trapstar II.

Influenced by artists such as Meek Mill, Future, Speaker Knockerz, and Young Thug (as well as the stylings of Atlanta trap and Chicago drill), Kasso began recording in his bedroom at the age of 16, honoring his family's Louisiana roots while chronicling Atlanta street life. His debut effort, Feed tha Streets, arrived in late 2017. The following year would see Kasso’s big breakthrough, starting with the release of his B4 tha Album EP. That summer, he issued the single "Dopehole," produced by London on da Track. The song became a viral hit and propelled the young rapper into the mainstream consciousness, racking up millions of streams within months. In November, Kasso released Feed tha Neighborhood , a second collection of his melodic rap and hypnotic beats. ~ Neil Z. Yeung, Rovi
