Musical style
editHughes' music is often compared to that of the "swag era" and early 2010s hip-hop, blending R&B and trap, and including auto-tuned vocals, nostalgic visuals, and jerk-related sounds.[2][3] He stated his influences were what he "grew up in—the trap era, the Tumblr era, early Instagram."[1] His music has been compared to that of Sofaygo, Young Money, and Young Thug.[4] He is considered to be at the forefront of the "New Chicago" movement, named as the successor to Chicago drill.[5]
