danikiyoko is one of the internet’s most tapped-in individuals. The Louisiana native is constantly trawling SoundCloud for new music to share with a following just shy of 10,000, reposting roughly 50 tracks a day. As a recording artist, they’re only slightly less prolific: In 2024 alone, they’ve dropped two albums, three EPs, and dozens of loosies, leaping between styles without looking down. They’ve started and outgrown a 2000s trap remix trend, created their own potent strain of plugg, and, more recently, launched a superlatively saturated style boldly coined “party music,” all before reaching drinking age.
