Lil Master Mayhem is taking the music industry by storm at just 10 years old. Hailing from Greenville, North Carolina, this young rapper is making waves with his positive messages, undeniable talent, and infectious energy. Unlike many artists who rely on controversy to gain attention, Lil Master Mayhem is focused on uplifting his audience and proving that you don’t need negativity to go viral. With record labels watching, celebrities reposting his music, and major performances lined up—including a showcase at J. Cole’s Dreamville concert—he is quickly becoming a name to watch in hip-hop.
His love for rap started early, inspired by his dad, his producer Juli, and industry legends like LL Cool J, Jack Harlow, J. Cole, and 21 Savage. Surrounded by music, he developed a unique style that blends storytelling, smooth flows, and energy that resonates with both young and older audiences. He stays away from themes of violence and drugs because he believes that what you speak into existence can become reality. For him, it’s all about keeping it real and setting an example—kids should be kids, having fun and enjoying life without the pressure of trying to prove something negative.
Going viral isn’t just about getting views—it’s about getting the right recognition. Celebrities like Anthony Rhyne and Playboy Poppy have already shown love to Lil Master Mayhem, a clear sign that his talent is reaching the right people. With more eyes on him every day, it won’t be long before even bigger names start to take notice.
Despite his rising fame, school remains a priority. He balances his music career by focusing on studies during the weekdays and dedicating his weekends to music. It’s a disciplined routine, but it’s one that works. As he puts it, he’s giving 100%—and he expects the same level of support from any record label he signs with. While he has yet to make a decision, he knows exactly what he’s looking for: a team that believes in him as much as he believes in himself.
Being from Greenville, NC, he takes pride in representing his hometown. Inspired by Petey Pablo and Playboy Poppy, he sees himself putting North Carolina on the map for young rap talent. “Why not me?” he asks, and with the momentum he’s building, it’s a valid question. His music stands out because it carries a message—one that speaks to both kids and adults, a rarity in an industry often focused on fleeting trends.
Breaking into radio has been his biggest challenge so far, but instead of getting discouraged, he uses it as motivation. The fact that he isn’t being played yet only pushes him to work harder. And with his drive, it’s only a matter of time before the airwaves catch up to what social media already knows: Lil Master Mayhem is a star in the making.
If he could collaborate with anyone, he’d choose Jack Harlow, Dee-1, J. Cole, and any artist who puts out positive energy. He respects artists who use their platform for something meaningful and wants to work with those who align with his vision.
There’s no slowing down for Lil Master Mayhem. He’s got podcast interviews lined up, an EP and full-length album on the way, and a huge showcase at J. Cole’s Dreamville concert. This is just the beginning for the young rapper, and if his journey so far is any indication, he’s only getting started.
