ABOUT LIL PUMP:
Signature colorful dreads flailing, ominous ink on display and superhero-sized charisma in plentiful supply, Lil Pump (born August 17, 2000) tore through hip-hop like a tornado, amassing over 2 billion audio and video streams and counting. Lil Pump released his highly-anticipated full-length follow-up album, Harverd Dropout, which debuted at #7 on Billboard's Top 200 and was fueled by internet-breaking moments such as a viral "Harverd Commencement" address from Harvard University and creating the comedic series "Pump University" in partnership with YouTube Originals, garnering 7 million views to date. One-off singles, such as the historic crossover with the late XXXTentaction on "Arms Around You" [feat. Maluma & Swae Lee], went platinum as Pump's "I Love It" with Kanye West reached double-platinum status. Plus, the single "Be Like Me" [feat. Lil Wayne] cranked out 69 million video views.
Lil Pump's breakout hit "Gucci Gang" is a RIAA 4x platinum smash that topped singles charts across North America and Europe, streaming to #2 on the US Spotify Chart and #12 on the Global Chart, while garnering over 942 million combined YouTube views for its climactic, larger-than-life video. In 2018, Lil Pump's "Esskeetit" music video racked up 421 million YouTube views and closed out the year achieving the biggest-ever global debut for a hip-hop video on YouTube for "I Love It" with Kanye West. After surpassing 76 million views in under a week, it eclipsed 470 million global views and counting. The groundbreaking video–co-directed by West and executively-produced by Spike Jonze– went viral, spawning an #ILoveItChallenge on social media, memes from celebrities like Ellen Degeneres and a hilarious spoof from The Late Late Show's James Corden. What's more, Pump made headlines with stellar performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and BET's 2018 Hip-Hop Awards. Meanwhile, Billboard touted him in its coveted "21 Under 21" feature.
