Lil Tracy (real name Jazz Butler) began his musical journey at the age of 15, using the stage name Yung Bruh, when he published his first songs on the music streaming platform SoundCloud. Inspired by punk rock and southern hip hop, Tracy entered the hip hop scene with a style that combines emo, cloud rap, and melodic trap. To date, his greatest achievement has been his collaboration with the late rapper Lil Peep on the song “Awful Things,” which reached No. 79 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This collaboration reached millions of listeners around the world, securing Lil Tracy's place on the international music scene.
Lil Tracy's music most accurately reflects his life – his struggle with mental health, the time he spent homeless, and, above all, the unstoppable resilience that has driven him forward. His albums, XOXO and Life of a Popstar, have proven his ability to be versatile, transitioning from powerful rap songs to emotional, introspective ballads that explore deep, emotional experiences. It is Lil Tracy's openness and vulnerability that make him unique.
