Critical Praise:
21 Under 21 – Billboard
“Luh Tyler…was 16 when a couple of breezy, punchline-fueled singles recorded directly into his iPhone suddenly made him the talk of Florida’s hip-hop scene.” – Pitchfork
“It feels like he’s spent his whole life speaking in punchlines, and now there just happens to be a beat.” – Pitchfork
“Luh Tyler Has a Flow That Is Wise Beyond His Years” – Rolling Stone
“Luh Tyler Is The Coolest Teenager In Rap” – Stereogum
“The Most Exciting Young Rapper in Florida” – Complex
The Song:
Since emerging as a 16-year-old with his laid back flow and ice cold bars, Luh Tyler has been one of the rap game’s most exciting rising stars. The now 19-year-old North Florida native returns with his first new single of 2026, celebrating Valentine’s Day with his silky smooth “My Boo.”
Riding 2-stepping percussion laid over milky Fender Rhodes chords, the young man known as “Mr. Skii” delivers a seductive anthem for cuffing season, mixing slick flexes with charming come-ons: “Girl we stuck together like some damn glue/Girl you all in my head like some f*ckin’ shampoo,” Tyler lilts. “My Boo” follows in the wake of “On My Own,” an introspective, forward-looking single from late 2025.
Born and raised in Tallahassee, FL, Luh Tyler took the rap game by storm as a teenager, stunning tastemakers and fans with his slippery flows and raspy-voiced witticisms. Only 16-years-old, Tyler earned plaudits from the likes of Rolling Stone and Pitchfork for his infectiously hard-hitting singles, like “Jayda Wayda,” “Law & Order,” and “Back Flippin’.” In 2023, Tyler released his debut album, My Vision, named one of the year’s best albums by UPROXX and Complex. The album welcomed guests like Lil Uzi Vert, Loe Shimmy, and BabyTron, generating over 100 million cross-platform streams, and cementing his spot on XXL’s 2023 Freshman List. Tyler followed-up My Vision with 2024’s Mr. Skii, home to hits like “First Show,” “Change My Wayz,” and “2 Slippery” ft. BossMan Dlow, and his headlining “Mr. Skii Tour.” Luh Tyler dug deeper into his background on 2025’s Florida Boy mixtape, limiting the number of guests and focusing on widening his artistic and sonic palette, performing songs from the tape as a special guest on A Boogie’s worldwide “Better Off Alone Tour.” Billboard rewarded Tyler’s hard work by naming him one of 2025’s 21 Under 21.
Hard at work to his follow-up to Florida Boy, Luh Tyler seeks to cross even more milestones this year. With his 20th birthday approaching at the end of the month, the Florida rapper prepares to launch his smooth stylings to the mainstream. Stay tuned for more.

The Background:
Wielding a wavy flow, irresistible melodies, and inventive dynamics, Luh Tyler animates bouncy anthems with undeniable unpredictability. He switches lanes seamlessly between his signature laidback cadence and airy high register, touting a style all his own. It’s why he’s quietly emerged as a vibrant voice out of his native Tallahassee, FL, all before the age of 16. Inspired by local favorites Wizz Havin, Trapland Pat, L.O.E. Shimmy, and more, he started to upload music of his own. Following “5 On It Freestyle,” he gained traction with “Jayda Wayda.” Meanwhile, “Law & Order” posted up over 3.9M YouTube views. Pitchfork hailed “I Gotta Slide” among “The Ones” and professed, “I particularly like moments when his voice cracks or sounds dry; it makes lines stick in your mind.”
During late 2022, Tyler popped off with “Back Flippin,” now with over 43M Spotify streams and an official music video boasting over 13M YouTube views. In 2023, Tyler released his debut mixtape, My Vision, which debuted #2 on Billboard’s “Heatseekers” chart and was praised by the likes of Billboard, Complex, and Pitchfork, which declared him “The Coolest 16-Year-Old Rapper in America,” adding, “The trippy rhythm paired with his cloud of punchlines delivered in that middle-aged cigarette smoker voice makes doing absolutely nothing sound cool as shit. You don’t need to be a teenager to get behind that.”
Having landed among the 2023 XXL Freshman Class and been named to Billboard’s “21 Under 21” list, 2024 saw the arrival of Tyler’s Atlantic Records debut album, Mr. Skii, highlighted by such singles as “Mr. Skii,” “2 Slippery (Feat. BossMan Dlow),” “TH2DH,” and “Young N****a,” alongside features from Kodak Black, BLP Kosher, Veeze, and Trapland Pat. Tyler marked the album’s arrival with The Mr. Skii Tour – his biggest North American headline tour to date – as well as a special guest run on A Boogie wit da Hoodie’s epic Better Off Alone Tour that included performances at Los Angeles, CA’s Kia Forum, Morrison, CO’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and New York City’s world-famous Madison Square Garden. In 2025, with the release of Florida Boy and accolades including Billboard’s 2025 “21 Under 21” list, Tyler continued his momentum, and looks to make a major impact in 2026.
