Lil' Wyte Biography
Review The Artist (15)
Source: http://www.lil-wyte.net
Lil’ Wyte is coming strong out of the dirty south with one of the tightest new albums of 2005, Phinally Phamous. Hailing from some of the grittiest city streets in Memphis, Tennessee Lil’ Wyte is used to being the underdog. The scrappy young man with the big voice has always been able to overcome any obstacle life has thrown in his face. From his thirsty beginnings as a member of an all white rap group, Lil’ Wyte was serious about making it in the rap game. Producer, label owner, member of Three 6 Mafia and a featured artist on the album, Juicy J knew there was something different about Lil’ Wyte the first time he saw him. Juicy explains, “We (Juicy J and DJ Paul) met Lil’ Wyte in front of the radio station. I get a lot of demos from artists but I never got a demo from an all white group.” Juicy could hear the potential in Lil’ Wyte’s lyrics and he actually tried to sign the group. But when that deal fell apart Lil’ Wyte was the last rapper standing and he was immediately signed to Hypnotize Minds.
Lil’ Wyte’s solo debut album Doubt Me Now sold over 126,000 units and is still consistently selling 1,200 units a week without the benefit of any video or radio airplay. Wyte feels his album has done so well because his music touches on familiar topics in a brand new light. “It’s like a dream come true.” The slim MC explains. “It was shocking who it happened with because Three 6 Mafia are a major influence, they grew up right around the corner from me. My music comes from the streets, from my life. I’m one of the rappers that understands the difference between entertainment and real life.”
Lil’ Wyte’s life is actually a lot calmer now compared to his past dramas. He’s focused on his family and his music. “Friends at school didn’t want to believe I could rap because I was shutting people down so hard (in the lunch room rhyme battles). It was only my dedication and devotion that kept me going. I dropped out of school twice and went back to get my diploma, not just my GED.” All of Lil’ Wytes’ career goals and ambitions have come true. He released his solo debut album before he was 21 and he has even bigger plans for his sophomore effort Phinally Phamous. There’s a huge difference between the two projects according to Lil’ Wyte. “The first album I had a lot of stuff going on this one I’ve been kickin’ it and relaxin’. Because I’m making music with Three 6 Mafia there’s no way any song on my album can be wack.”
DJ Paul, another member of Three 6 Mafia who shares production credit and is also featured on the album breaks it down a little more. “The real folks know who we are from even before “Tear Da Club Up” and some of the people may just be up on it now.” Juicy J traces a brief history of crunk music and why Three 6 Mafia was instrumental in its current popularity. “When you’re in your own state you have your own sound. We first started calling it ‘buck music’ then that changed to ‘crunk’ music. In the mid eighties when the Memphis scene was crackin’ it all started with “Trigga Man”. Then we just started doing our own thing.” DJ Paul adds, “Like with one of the songs on Lil’ Wyte’s album, “Hoods Run Down” we include different bass tones-especially for cars and car stereo competitions but on Lil’ Wyte’s album the song is also talking about how people run the hood down.”
Using the Three 6 Mafia multiplatinum production formula for trunk thumping bass songs with meaning and substance, Juicy J knows that Lil’ Wyte’s project will be as successful as some of the other artist they’ve worked with like Gangsta Boo and Project Pat. “The fans put Lil’ Wyte in his place and made him successful. On this album Lil’ Wyte has matured and his flow has gotten better.” The album also has songs with political commentary, “US Soldier Boy,” and the sure shot debut single, “I Sho Will.” There are even a few surprises like the appearance of Josey Scott from popular group and hometown homies, Saliva. Lil’ Wyte hopes to see this album sell deep into multiplatinum territory. In true dirty south lingo he sums up all his expectations for Phinally Phamous, “Get ready because it’s fixin’ to be crazy!”

Review about Lil' Wyte
Lil Wyte be da shit cuzz. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/3/2008how many white homies you know that can spit it like wyte? you can stop thinking bout that now cuz no white MC's can touch him. he raps bout whats real. perhaps if you aint gangsta enough and just listen to rap so you can think you is, then hell perhaps eminem's fake ass can float ya boat. but i say 1 last word bout this. Lil Wyte is the realest nigga out there, and if you dont like that... then change is bitches.
WYTE 4 LIFE, word
Lil Wyte better than Eminem? L-M-F-A-O | Reviewer: Nick | 8/24/2008
I heard about Lil Wyte and heard people saying he was better than Eminem so I had to check him out. He isn't even in the same book as Em never mind on the same page. Cheesy, cliche, southern rap with that awful meoldy / shout style flow and shit lyrics. Em's a genius, Lil Wyte's a pile of shit.
Best Wyte Rapper there is | Reviewer: Warren (DJM8) | 8/22/2008
Lil Wyte is hands down the best white rapper there is out now, and straight from the dirty south just like me even though I am from FL and he is from TN if you are use to southern rap and crunk music with good beats, then lil wyte is the rapper for you, better than Paul Wall, Eminem, Bubba Sparkxxx, Haystack and definately better than that joke of a white rapper Vanilla Ice, if I had to rate them it would be 1 Lil Wyte 2 Eminem 3 Paul Wall 4 Bubba Sparxxx
Garbage | Reviewer: Paul H | 8/14/2007

lil wyte is a bad ass rapper i got the dout me now allbum in my cd player now he is a fuckin beast
To the Eminem Lovers dat be hatein on lil wyte | Reviewer: Mac D | 6/14/2007
eminem can rap bout everythin ill give yall that but he is a lil pussy rapper and his music hasnt been good in years and he didnt hit the big time till his late 20's early 30's. lil wyte was only 17 when he busting out tracks for the Doubt Me Now Cd. he is 24 years old now got 3 cds and each one is more fire than the other. Lil wyte does rap alot bout drug but if u look at some of the songs they are about guns and fighting as well and if you grew up in memphis lik he did and myself u wouldnt talk bout anythin else urself cuz dat is all three 6 mafia does (they just add in pimpin) The fact is Lil Wyte is his own force at only 24 years of age and he just has not got TV time yet due to his lyrics. If you check ur facts as well eminem didnt have a good cd for a while his first cds bombed horriblely at least Lil Wyte made somethin from nothing on his first and did better on the 2nd and now his 3rd his unreal.
Bay Area Fo Life
Lil Wyte & Eminem | Reviewer: Rachel | 6/5/2007
I luv them both but if I had to choose who is better I'd say Eminem. Eminem is whole lot more creative when it comes to lyrics. He can rap about anything and he's a good free- stylist.
If Lil Wyte would promote his stuff more than he'd be more successful. He's on his 3rd album and I haven't seen a video, heard a single on the radio, no t.v. appearances nothing. Overall I like his lyrics, their certainly not pretty and cute.
all u niggas are retarted | Reviewer: ross | 5/20/2007
eminem is one of the best emcees ever, lil wyte is not even top 20 ever. eminem is one of the best lyrcacists ever and lil wyte can only rap about drugs all his beats sound the exact same. eminem is probley the 5th best rapper ever besides tupac biggie nas jay z all u morons should go kill urselfs
