Lil Mabu

Lil Mabu, born Matthew Peter DeLuca, is an American rapper from New York known for fusing drill's aggressive energy with an unlikely image and sound rooted in classical training and internet-savvy self-presentation. He first gained attention with his 2022 single «No Snitching», which introduced his brash, high-pitched delivery to the New York drill scene, and went on to build a larger following through viral hits like «MATHEMATICAL DISRESPECT» and the «On The Radar Freestyle».

«MATHEMATICAL DISRESPECT» became a defining moment for him after exploding on TikTok in 2023, pairing sharp battle-rap lyricism with an operatic, theatrical flair that set him apart from his drill peers. Tracks such as «THROW», «TEACH ME HOW TO DRILL», «MR. TAKE YA B*TCH» and «BIG DOG SH*T» further cemented his reputation for combative wordplay and a deliberately over-the-top persona spanning rap, pop and rock influences.

Mabu has released two studio albums, DOUBLE M's (2022) and YOUNG GENIUS (2024), tracing his evolution from a viral drill newcomer into one of the more distinctive and polarizing young voices in contemporary New York hip-hop, known equally for his internet presence and his rapid-fire lyrical style.
