YFN Lucci

His signature sound might be a simple "Yeahhhh Yeahhhhh Yeahhhh" at the end of his lines, but YFN Lucci is a strong, versatile lyricist with a character all his own. The Atlanta native made his official debut at the age of 17 and soon became a fixture on the Billboard 200 with albums like Long Live Nut (2017) and Ray Ray from Summerhill (2018), while singles such as "Key to the Streets" and "Everyday We Lit" earned platinum certifications. Lucci continued his commercial hot streak with the charting mixtape Wish Me Well 3 (2020), featuring the platinum "Wet." He returned in 2025, with his second full-length, Already Legend. The Atlanta-born Rayshawn Bennett began rapping when he was 16. A year later, he was recruited by Johnny Cinco for two appearances on 2014's John Popi mixtape. He joined TIG that same year, and by the end of 2014 the label had released his debut mixtape, Wish Me Well. Wish Me Well 2 followed in 2016 and featured guest appearances from Plies, Johnny Cinco, and Migos, the latter of whom were heard on "Key to the Streets," Lucci's first platinum single. In April 2017, Lucci released his debut EP, Long Live Nut, which made a strong showing at number 27 on the Billboard 200 and produced another platinum track with "Everyday We Lit," featuring PnB Rock. He kicked off 2018 with the release of the Meek Mill-featuring "Street Kings." Second EP Freda's Son appeared in February, and the full-length Ray Ray from Summerhill arrived the following month, subsequently becoming the rapper's first Top 20-charting release. Later that December, Lucci issued the single "Double Up," which featured Rich the Kid. In 2019, he released the Gangsta Grillz mixtape 650Luc, which included a Trey Songz-assisted single, "All Night Long." Before the end of the year, he returned with the HIStory mixtape. The project included multiple contributions from vocalist Bigga Rankin as well as an appearance from City Girls. Another mixtape, HIStory, Lost Pages, arrived in February 2020 and was followed a few months later by the Corona Pack EP, the latter of which featured appearances by Bankroll Freddie, Boosie Badazz, and YFN Kay. Before the end of 2020, Lucci was back on the charts with Wish Me Well 3, an hour-long project that included cameos from Yungeen Ace, Mozzy, Mulatto, and Yo Gotti. The set cracked the Top 50 of the Billboard 200 with help from the unassisted platinum single "Wet." Over the next few years, Lucci issued the occasional single, including 2021's "I Gotcha" and 2025's "Jan. 31st (My Truth)." The latter became his fourth headlining entry on the R&B/hip-hop chart, peaking at number 18. The track then appeared on Already Legend., the rapper's second official full-length, which reached number 14 on the Billboard 200. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
