With his powerful wordplay and soulful storytelling, Lil Poppa turns each of his songs into an up-close account of life in his hometown of Jacksonville, FL. The announcement of Poppa’s addition to CMG punctuates a triumphant week for the record label, considering 42 Dugg and EST Gee’s joint project, Last Ones Left, just debuted at No. Earlier in February, the CMG mogul announced that he signed Sacramento hip-hop artist Mozzy at the CMG Press Conference in Los Angeles during Super Bowl weekend. Poppa’s signing serves as the latest example of CMG’s rapid expansion and reaffirms Gotti’s ability to identify talent from across the country. The Jacksonville native was previously named SiriusXM’s Hip-Hop Nation’s “First Alert” artist. Most recently, in 2021, Poppa released his project, Blessed, I Guess, which included collaborations with Toosii and Seddy Hendrix. Gotti’s CMG label will work with Interscope Records to continue developing Poppa and provide a foundation to further elevate his promising, young career. The 22-year-old artist joins CMG’s illustrious roster, which includes Moneybagg Yo, 42 Dugg, EST Gee, Mozzy, Blocboy JB, and many more. Today, multiplatinum musician, entrepreneur, and record executive Yo Gotti announced that he formally signed rising Jacksonville hip-hop artist Lil Poppa to his acclaimed CMG record label.
