Recording artist Lil Drift was born on May, 31, 2000 in Colton, California. At the tender age of 19, he is joining the new aged rap scene that is currently taking the music business by storm. As an adolescent, he fell in love with music and decided that he would one day have a career as an entertainer. While in high school, he did a freestyle video that went viral, catching the attention of his football coach Fat Mack. Mack decided to help Drift jumpstart his career by connecting him with the right producers that complimented his authentic sound. He eventually was introduced to producer Disco Boogie who saw his talent immediately. As a result of his undeniable talent and determination, Boogie knew that he would be a perfect fit for the independent label, Birmingham Entertainment. Within no time Lil Drift was signed and has not looked back ever since. Being heavily influenced by Justin Bieber, Young MA and 21 Savage, while landing mainstream features with O3 Greedo, Skinny From 9, and TeeJay 3k this California rapper is preparing to have the best year yet musically.

I named the album “Closer Than Yesterday” because just a year ago I had nothing. I speak what I want and I say what I think, I just hope people can relate to that”. 6-track effort is full of several infectious new singles that give Lil Drift new energy. Features include Chris O’Bannon, Skinnyfromthe9, and No Cap Kiid.
