About Lil Mosey
Lil Mosey is the stage name of Lathan Moses Stanley Echols. He’s an American (occasional) actor, internet personality, rapper, singer, and songwriter that rose to fame in 2017 after the release of his single “Pull Up”. The following year, he released his debut studio album Northsbest, which included his first Billboard Hot 100 chart-topping hit “Noticed”. Since then, the “Blueberry Faygo” singer has released another commercially-successful studio album and a number of global hits.
Lil Mosey became famous after his sleeper hit “Pull Up” went viral on social media. Lathan was born on January 25, 2002, in Mountlake, Terrace, Washington. He was raised mostly by his mother in Seattle but also remained a close connection with his half-Puerto Rican father. In his early teens, after listening to Meek Mill’s hit single “Dreams and Nightmares”, he developed an interest in rapping.
He first attended the Mountlake Terrace High School and then, in tenth grade, he transferred to the Shorecrest High School.
In 2016, Lathan developed the stage name, Lil Mosey. He dropped out of high school just before his graduation and moved to Los Angeles with the aspirations to become a rapper. That year, he uploaded his very first song titled “So Bad”. The song was uploaded on his SoundCloud account and it quickly received nearly 50,000 views. In November, he competed in the Coast to Coast Live Seattle competition where he placed fourth.
Consistently releasing new music as well as signing with the record label Interscope helped the young rapper become rich in just two years time.

After selling more than 500,000 copies, the song was certified gold by the RIAA and became his first to achieve this accolade.
In July 2018, Mosey released his first number-one single “Noticed”, which served as the lead single of the artist’s debut album. A few months later, in October, he released his first album titled Northsbest.

In early 2019, after selling 500,000 copies, the album was certified gold.
The success of hip hop and trap artist comes from both his solo projects and collaborations with other rising stars. Since his signing with Interscope, he was able to secure collaborations with many established names such as Gunna, Chris Brown, and Russian.
