There's a huge difference between the two projects according to Lil' Wyte. He released his solo debut album before he was 21 and he has even bigger plans for his sophomore effort Phinally Phamous. I dropped out of school twice and went back to get my diploma, not just my GED." All of Lil' Wytes' career goals and ambitions have come true.
It was only my dedication and devotion that kept me going. "Friends at school didn't want to believe I could rap because I was shutting people down so hard (in the lunch room rhyme battles). He's focused on his family and his music. Lil' Wyte's life is actually a lot calmer now compared to his past dramas. I'm one of the rappers that understands the difference between entertainment and real life." My music comes from the streets, from my life. "It was shocking who it happened with because Three 6 Mafia are a major influence, they grew up right around the corner from me. "It's like a dream come true." The slim MC explains. Wyte feels his album has done so well because his music touches on familiar topics in a brand new light. Lil' Wyte's solo debut album Doubt Me Now sold over 126,000 units and is still consistently selling 1,200 units a week without the benefit of any video or radio airplay. But when that deal fell apart Lil' Wyte was the last rapper standing and he was immediately signed to Hypnotize Minds. I get a lot of demos from artists but I never got a demo from an all white group." Juicy could hear the potential in Lil' Wyte's lyrics and he actually tried to sign the group. Juicy explains, "We (Juicy J and DJ Paul) met Lil' Wyte in front of the radio station. Producer, label owner, member of Three 6 Mafia and a featured artist on the album, Juicy J knew there was something different about Lil' Wyte the first time he saw him. From his thirsty beginnings as a member of an all white rap group, Lil' Wyte was serious about making it in the rap game. The scrappy young man with the big voice has always been able to overcome any obstacle life has thrown in his face.
Hailing from some of the grittiest city streets in Memphis, Tennessee Lil' Wyte is used to being the underdog. Lil' Wyte is coming strong out of the dirty south with one of the tightest new albums of 2005, Phinally Phamous.
