After dropping out of high school during his freshman year, Render moved to Cleveland Avenue in Southwest Atlanta. Like his late brother and fellow rapper Lil Keed, who was one year older, Gotit did not start taking rap seriously until his friend Rudy was killed a few days before the release of the group compilation mixtape Young Slime Season in 2016.[2]
Gotit then began releasing songs with his brother Lil Keed, whom he collaborated with on the songs: "Trap Bunkin", "Dirty Dancer" and "All Season".[3] Described as one of Atlanta's next rising rap stars, his music was starting to be played in clubs.[3] The name Lil Gotit was derived from Maja Gotit, a nickname inspired by him "having everything".

Lil Gotit
View on GrokipediaBackground
Early life
Semaja Zair Render, known professionally as Lil Gotit, was born on August 6, 1999, in Atlanta, Georgia.[8]He was raised on Conley Road in the southside of Atlanta, a neighborhood known for its challenging urban environment and as a cradle of the city's influential trap music scene.[2][9]
As the youngest of seven children, Render grew up immersed in the dynamic, often harsh realities of southside life, which shaped his early worldview.[10]
He developed an initial interest in the local hip-hop culture surrounding him in Atlanta.[3]
Render began pursuing rapping more seriously in 2016 following the death of his close friend, rapper Lil Rudy, which motivated him to write lyrics and experiment with rhymes alongside his older brother, rapper Lil Keed. His first experiences with rapping came informally in these efforts.[3][8][11]
Family influences
Lil Gotit shares a profound familial bond with his older brother, rapper Lil Keed (born Raqhid Render), as blood siblings with the same parents, a relationship that profoundly shaped his early musical pursuits through mutual encouragement and shared creative endeavors. Growing up together on Atlanta's Southside, the brothers developed a dynamic marked by close collaboration and light-hearted competition, with Lil Gotit often crediting their sibling synergy for pushing his artistic growth despite Gotit initiating rap before Keed. Their partnership began with home recordings, fostering Lil Gotit's entry into hip-hop as they experimented together in informal studio sessions.[12][13] The Render household immersed the brothers in Atlanta's vibrant trap music scene from a young age, with frequent exposure to local icons like Young Thug, whose neighborhood proximity allowed indirect influences through the community's rap culture. This environment, centered on Cleveland Avenue, provided an auditory backdrop of trap beats and lyrics that inspired their initial forays into songwriting and performance. Despite the socioeconomic hardships of Southside Atlanta, including limited resources in a high-poverty area, the family offered unwavering support for their musical ambitions, viewing it as a pathway out of adversity.[13][14] Early joint creative sessions between Lil Gotit and Lil Keed, starting around 2017, solidified this influence, as they co-wrote and recorded tracks like "Trap Bunkin," blending their voices in a style reflective of Atlanta trap. Their father's longstanding dedication as a landscaper—working 21 years without absence—further reinforced family values of perseverance, motivating the brothers to channel familial resilience into their music despite external challenges. This foundational support not only honed Lil Gotit's skills but also established a blueprint for his career, emphasizing brotherhood as a core driver.[12][13][14]Musical career
2017–2019: Beginnings and mixtapes
Lil Gotit began his music career in 2017 by uploading tracks to SoundCloud, often collaborating with his brother Lil Keed.[14] That same year, he released his debut mixtape, Super Squid, marking his initial foray into full-length projects and showcasing raw, energetic flows over trap beats.[14] In 2018, he signed with Alamo Records and released Hood Baby on November 16, an 18-track project that highlighted his street-oriented lyricism and included collaborations with Lil Keed and Skooly, further solidifying his independent momentum.[14] The mixtape's production, largely handled by Yung Lan, emphasized booming bass and melodic hooks typical of Atlanta trap.[14] Gotit's buzz continued to build into 2019 with the September release of the mixtape The Real Goat, featuring "Brotherly Love" with Lil Keed produced by 10fifty. Later that year, he released Crazy But It's True in March, another expansive project featuring Gunna, Lil Durk, and Lil Keed, which demonstrated his evolving versatility through tracks blending aggression and introspection.[15] The mixtape gained significant online traction, particularly with the single "Da Real Hoodbabies," which went viral on platforms like SoundCloud and YouTube, amassing millions of streams and drawing attention to his playful yet gritty delivery.[15] These early releases, distributed primarily through digital platforms, laid the foundation for his reputation as a promising voice in trap music, bolstered by brief associations with figures like Playboi Carti through shared features and scene affiliations.[16]2020–2022: Major releases and collaborations
In 2020, Lil Gotit released his third studio album, Hood Baby 2, on April 24 via Alamo Records, marking a significant step in his commercial trajectory. The project features high-profile collaborations with artists including Future on "Codeine," Gunna and Lil Keed on "Drip Day N Night," and Lil Yachty on "What You Think," blending trap beats with energetic flows that highlighted his growing connections in Atlanta's rap scene. The album debuted at number 200 on the Billboard 200 chart, underscoring its breakthrough impact.[17][18] Building on this momentum, Lil Gotit dropped Top Chef Gotit on June 10, 2021, also through Alamo Records, a 15-track effort that showcased his playful lyricism over booming production. The album includes features from Young Thug, Lil Keed, and Destroy Lonely, with standout singles like "Wok," released on March 17, 2021, and "Toosie" emphasizing his signature ad-libs and street narratives. This release further solidified his presence in the trap subgenre, earning praise for its cohesive energy and viral potential.[19][20] On May 4, 2022, Lil Gotit issued The Cheater, his fifth studio album and first under a more structured label framework, featuring 19 tracks with contributions from Lil Keed, Lil Double 0, and others. The project represents a maturation in his sound, incorporating cleaner, more layered production that contrasts his earlier raw mixtapes, as evident in tracks like the title song and "MF Trimm." Released amid personal challenges, it reflects a polished evolution while maintaining his humorous, boastful delivery.[21][22] Throughout this period, Lil Gotit's collaborations extended beyond his solo work, including the 2020 single "A'Team (You Ain't Safe)" with Lil Yachty, Lil Keed, and producer Zaytoven, which gained traction in hip-hop circles. His close ties to Playboi Carti's circle influenced his energetic style without direct joint releases during these years.[23]2023–present: Recent projects and tributes
In late 2022, Lil Gotit departed from Alamo Records, marking a shift toward independent artistry amid evolving industry dynamics for Atlanta trap artists.[24] This move followed the death of his brother and frequent collaborator Lil Keed earlier that year, influencing Gotit's creative direction in subsequent releases.[25] Gotit released his sixth studio album, Shut the Door, Nobody Listening, on June 28, 2024, as his first fully independent project distributed via ONErpm.[25] The 17-track effort features posthumous appearances by Lil Keed alongside guests like Young Thug and Mariah the Scientist, emphasizing Gotit's ties to the YSL collective and personal connections in Atlanta's rap scene.[25] Singles such as "Twisting Our Fingers" and "360 Boy" preceded the album, highlighting its rollout over nearly two years.[25] On October 31, 2025, Gotit issued Fraternal: Keed Edition, a 11-track posthumous collaboration with Lil Keed released through ONErpm, explicitly designed as a tribute to his sibling's legacy.[26] The project includes tracks like "How Bout U" and "I'm Sorry," blending unreleased Keed verses with Gotit's production to honor their fraternal bond and shared musical history.[26] A companion Fraternal: Gotit Edition followed in November 2025, extending the tribute with additional solo-focused material.[27] Gotit's independent trajectory continues with plans for further releases, reflecting adaptation to a landscape favoring artist-led ventures post-label affiliations.[25]Artistry
Musical style
Lil Gotit's music is deeply rooted in the trap genre, characterized by booming 808 basslines, sparse hi-hat patterns, and atmospheric synths that evoke the energetic pulse of Atlanta's street rap scene.[28] His vocal delivery often employs heavy auto-tune, creating a distorted, futuristic edge that warps his voice into a signature rasp, while frequent ad-libs—such as playful echoes and exclamations—add layers of chaotic energy and whimsy to his tracks.[28] This approach results in lively, animated flows that prioritize momentum over precision, blending rapid-fire cadences with off-kilter phrasing to maintain a sense of unpredictability.[29] Lyrically, Lil Gotit infuses his work with Atlanta-specific slang, drawing from local vernacular like references to "drip" for fashion flexes and everyday hood imagery such as Lenox Mall escapades, which ground his narratives in authentic urban experiences.[28] His themes revolve around boastful declarations of wealth and street prowess, often laced with humor through absurd, self-aware punchlines that lighten the bravado—exemplified in lines like "Gucci ain’t racist, I still rock their clothes," which pokes fun at luxury brand contradictions amid tales of designer excess and Percocet-fueled escapism.[28] This blend of cocky assertions and comedic flair distinguishes his content, making it relatable yet larger-than-life within the trap framework.[30] Over time, Lil Gotit's sound has evolved from the raw, gritty aggression of his early mixtapes, which leaned heavily into unpolished street tales and menacing trap beats, to more melodic and experimental expressions in subsequent releases.[29] Later works incorporate hypnotic, sing-song hooks and unconventional structures, as seen in tracks like "Get N Dere Gang," where swirling production and rhythmic repetition create an immersive, trance-like quality that pushes beyond traditional trap confines.[29] This progression reflects a shift toward versatility, balancing hard-edged authenticity with lighter, more adventurous vocal experiments, including themes of loss and tribute in post-2022 releases like Fraternal: Keed Edition (2025), which blends sibling collaborations with introspective trap elements as of November 2025.[31] These choices underscore a consistent yet evolving aesthetic tied to Atlanta's innovative rap ecosystem.[32]Influences and associations
Lil Gotit's musical development has been profoundly shaped by the Atlanta trap scene, particularly the innovative sounds of pioneers like Young Thug, whose mentorship and distinctive vocal inflections have directly influenced Gotit's delivery and ad-lib style. Thug's role extends beyond inspiration, as Gotit maintains a close affiliation with Young Thug's YSL Records, providing a platform for his early career growth without a formal signing.[33][34] A key figure in Gotit's professional network is his older brother Lil Keed, with whom he shares frequent collaborations that foster a unique sibling synergy, blending their energies on tracks like "Heavy Metal" alongside Lil Uzi Vert. This partnership not only highlights mutual mentorship but also amplifies their presence within YSL's extended circle. Gotit's family ties, including Keed's guidance, played an early role in steering him toward rap amid Atlanta's vibrant music environment.[35] Broader associations have further elevated Gotit's profile through features and co-signs from artists like Gunna, whose melodic trap approach has inspired Gotit's own flow, and Lil Uzi Vert, who has endorsed and collaborated with him on high-profile releases. Additionally, Gotit shares connections with Future via joint tracks such as "Yeah Yeah," linking him to the foundational mumble-trap elements that define much of Atlanta's sound. These ties underscore Gotit's integration into a collaborative ecosystem that emphasizes features and mutual support among rising and established talents.[36][35][37]Personal life
Relationships and family
Lil Gotit has kept details of his romantic relationships largely private, with limited public disclosures. In 2019, speculation arose about a potential romance with rapper Bhad Bhabie following footage of them cuddling during an Instagram Live session, though Gotit later denied any romantic involvement, describing her as a friend.[38][39] As a family-oriented individual, Gotit has frequently highlighted the central role of his relatives in his life, stating in interviews that "my family is my everything" and crediting his modest upbringing for instilling a drive to provide for them.[35][2] He has referenced extended family and familial bonds in his lyrics, such as in the track "No Kizzy," where he raps about turning his "whole family some believers" through his success.[40] Gotit maintains a close relationship with his mother, whom his brother Lil Keed described as a significant influence, noting that Gotit was a "mama's boy" who lived with her during their youth.[41] Following Lil Keed's passing, Gotit has emphasized the continued emotional support from his mother and siblings, vowing to "go hard for Mama, Daddy, Our Brothers... and the family" as a way to honor their unity.[42] Amid his rising fame, Gotit has adopted a stance of privacy concerning intimate personal matters, preferring to shield his family dynamics from intense media scrutiny while occasionally sharing affirmations of familial loyalty in public statements.[2]Health and tragedies
Lil Keed, the older brother of Lil Gotit, died on May 2, 2022, at the age of 24 from eosinophilia, a rare condition characterized by an elevated count of eosinophils, white blood cells often linked to parasitic infections or allergic reactions, as confirmed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner.[43][44] Lil Gotit was present during his brother's final moments, having rushed him to the hospital after he collapsed from severe stomach pain; in subsequent accounts, Gotit recounted looking into Keed's eyes and expressing his love before his passing.[45][46] The loss profoundly affected Lil Gotit emotionally, leading him to share raw tributes on Instagram, where he described Keed as his "twin" and reflected on their unbreakable bond forged through shared musical endeavors.[47] In interviews, Gotit revealed initial numbness, stating he refrained from crying for two weeks after the death, and later opened up about the ongoing grief that isolated him, keeping him indoors for two months.[48] These public expressions of mourning highlighted the depth of their sibling connection, with Gotit emphasizing Keed's role as a mentor and collaborator in Atlanta's rap scene. Post-2022, Lil Gotit faced personal recovery challenges, including struggles with anxiety that intensified following the tragedy, prompting him to pursue sobriety as a means of regaining control and honoring his brother's memory.[49] In a February 2025 interview, he discussed how these mental health hurdles and his sobriety journey marked a period of introspection, shifting away from earlier high-energy tracks toward more vulnerable, reflective content that processes loss—exemplified briefly in collaborative tributes like the album Fraternal.[49]Performances
Live shows
Lil Gotit's early live performances in Atlanta helped establish his presence in the local hip-hop scene. In October 2019, he performed at the inaugural FADER Fort stage during the A3C Festival, closing out the event alongside his brother Lil Keed, Childish Major, Euro, Eearz, and Landstrip Chip, showcasing tracks from his burgeoning catalog to an enthusiastic crowd.[50] This appearance marked one of his notable standalone shows in his hometown, highlighting his rising profile within Atlanta's trap ecosystem.[50] He gained further visibility through high-profile festival slots, including his debut at Rolling Loud Miami in May 2019, where he took the Audiomack stage amid a lineup featuring major acts like Lil Wayne and Travis Scott.[51] These one-off appearances allowed Gotit to connect directly with larger audiences beyond Atlanta, building momentum for his solo career. Following Lil Keed's death in May 2022, Gotit has incorporated tributes into select performances, most prominently during a dedicated set at Rolling Loud California in March 2023. There, he honored his brother's legacy by performing classics and unreleased tracks from a collaborative album they developed over three years, emphasizing their fraternal bond and urging the crowd to "make some noise" in remembrance.[52] The emotional set concluded with thanks to fans for preserving Keed's influence, blending grief with celebratory energy.[52] Gotit's live shows are characterized by high-energy delivery and strong audience engagement, often featuring charismatic interactions that draw in new fans. At Rolling Loud Miami in July 2022, his set converted skeptics through dynamic stage presence and ad-lib-infused renditions of his hits, fostering a lively atmosphere despite the label's challenges that year.[53]Tours and appearances

Lil Gotit's early mixtape releases established his presence in the Atlanta trap scene, showcasing raw energy and street-oriented lyricism before transitioning to more structured studio albums. His debut project, Super Squid, served as an introductory SoundCloud effort in 2017, featuring four tracks including "Shots Fired (Intro)," "Best Friend" featuring Marko SlimeFR, "Bullshit," and "Exit" featuring Lil Keed and Lotto Savage. This EP, produced primarily by Mooktoven, highlighted his familial ties in music through collaborations and led directly to a signing with Alamo Records.[70][14] In 2019, Lil Gotit dropped two notable mixtapes that built on his momentum.

These appearances have helped solidify his connections within Atlanta's rap ecosystem and beyond, though few have achieved major commercial chart success on platforms like the Billboard Hot 100. A key early feature was on Lil Uzi Vert's 2018 non-album single "Heavy Metal," where Lil Gotit shared the track with his brother Lil Keed.
