The Tallahassee rapper’s infectious charm is a breath of fresh air among rap’s angsty young nihilists. Tallahassee teenager Luh Tyler went viral at the tender age of 16 with his 2022 single “Law & Order,” where he threatened in a laidback drawl to escort your girl to Waffle House. Four years and a handful of full-lengths later, the rapper born Tyler Meeks is newly in his twenties, but remains a breath of fresh air among rap’s angsty young nihilists for his mellow get-money raps that mostly do without drugs and violence. On his second album, Destined for Greatness, Luh Tyler’s slightly more jaded, but his infectious charm shines through on buoyant tracks like “Stoner Music” and “Kobe” as he celebrates his status as the biggest Tallahassee rapper since T-Pain. Still, the young star has an ear for the classics, sampling Travis Porter’s 2010 hit “Make It Rain” on “No Trick,” a duet with rising North Carolina rapper Trim, and repurposing the beat from T.I.’s “Rubber Band Man” (a song that came out three years before Tyler was born) on the triumphant “Money Calling.”
