Lil Wop

Louis Corey McPherson (born October 17, 1995), known professionally as Lil Wop, is an American former rapper from Chicago, Illinois. He was also briefly associated through music with Chicago rapper King Yella after meeting him through Yella's brother, Oso Rico. Wop appeared on many tracks with them, such as "Trap Shit" with Oso Rico and "Aww Man Gmix", with King Yella. In 2016, when he moved to Atlanta and changed his name to Lil Wop, his relationships with King Yella and Oso Rico gradually began to fade. In late 2016, when Lil Wop became friends and collaborators with Trippie Redd, they worked together on many tracks across both artists' projects on songs such as "Trap", "Gave Her Soul Away", and "Lone Werewolf". On October 17, 2016, Lil Wop released his debut project under the Lil Wop moniker, Wopster. On April 20, 2017, he dropped his mixtape Wake-N-Bake. In the summer of 2017, rapper Gucci Mane signed him to his record label, 1017 Eskimos, in a joint venture with Alamo Records. On October 31, 2017, he released a collaborative mixtape with Trippie Redd titled Angels & Demons. In July 2018, Lil Wop featured on Toronto rap duo CMDWN's single "Hit & Run". In August 2018, he released his EP Silent Hill, which contained open verses. On October 31, 2018, Lil Wop released his project Wopavelli 4. In March 2022, he insulted his former manager, Gucci Mane, calling him a "weirdo" and revealed that he was no longer signed to 1017 Records.
