Creating his own rap language with whirlwind energy and rapidfire flows, Ealuhri is at the forefront of underground Atlanta music. The LILYOGANG chieftain (whose name is pronounced in four syllables, like “Ee-ay-luhh-ree”) looks to capitalize on a groundswell of viral attention with You’re Welcome World (YWW), his new mixtape. A statement of purpose for Ealuhri as he looks to honor his late friends and build generational wealth, YWW is an ambitious artistic leap for the 21-year-old rapper. The album is executive-produced with ATL tastemaker Popstar Benny, who ties the songs together with his technicolor synths and blown-out percussion. Dedicated to his late friend LIL YO, who inspired his crew’s name, YWW is available on all platforms via #LILYOLIVING Ent.

YWW features guest appearances from fellow members of LILYOGANG, including Double XL, Yung Rokk, and YTLILRIC, the latter two of whom joined Ri on “WHIP IT,” which debuted as a Montreality DVD and earned attention from Pitchfork, who added it to its Pitchfork Selects playlist. The tape is also home to “WIMPY KID,” a buzzing new single with over 100k TikTok creations and a colorful, Dre Vegas-directed music video. The two singles sit nicely among the album’s new highlights, including party-starting intro “GOOO !!!,” an invigorating bit of self-motivation. The tape continues with cuts like the Popstar Benny-assisted “SPLATTTTT,” which received a music video today, and “11.15.25,” which layers heartfelt lyrics about responsibility and loss over a swirling rage symphony. The young rapper peppers his rhymes with turns-of-phrase that effortlessly transform into vocal stims–try listening to “SAWED OFF” without imitating his sing-song utterance of “LILYOGAAAAANG.” Ri’s rapidfire delivery packs so much into each bar that the tape practically demands multiple listens, the better to absorb each pop culture reference or off-color punchline. The aggressive flows and sharp flows belie a wry charm that comes through in posse cuts like “DEEP IN THAT WATER,” a collaboration with close friends ydouble and Double XL, and an aspirational sweetness reflected by Popstar Benny’s soaring synths on “MILLIONS.”

Born and raised in ATL, Ealuhri has been the breadwinner for his family since he was 14, with a mother confined to a wheelchair and a father not in the picture. The youngster refused to be held down by life’s circumstances, teaming up with his his cousin Double XL and best friend LIL YO to form an irreverent rap group. When LIL YO lost his life to the streets, Ri and company, including Double XL and Ri’s close friend Ydouble, named their crew LILYOGANG, vowing to honor their friend’s memory by running up numbers in the rap game.

Ealuhri and LILYOGANG first earned local attention with the song “Nickelodeon Slime,” which precipitated a flurry of energetic mixtapes. The music built steam in the ATL scene until Ealuhri and the gang earned co-signs from Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, Gunner Stahl, BabyDrill, and more. In 2025, Ri and the gang released “JODY JO,”  a bite-sized banger that quickly gained traction online, generating over 100k TikTok creates en route to more than 10 million streams across platforms. Ri performed the song on On The Radar, and its success led to Ri’s placement on Underground Sound’s viral 2026 cypher.

With YWW out now, Ealuhri is entering an exciting new chapter of his career YWW is the perfect entry point into Ri’s wild world, showcasing the skills that have his city’s most valid figures singing his praises. Keep an eye on Ealuhri as he ushers Atlanta hip-hop into its next evolutionary phase.
