The son of rapper I-20, Lonely grew up in a musical household and produced his own music from a young age. His earliest official releases came in late 2015 on SoundCloud.
As he grew his fanbase and released more projects, Lonely forged relationships with many contemporaries in the Atlanta-area scene like BigSmokeChapo and Nezzus. He closely works with producer Clayco. He also frequently works with producers in Underworld Music Group, an artist and producer group created by Clayco.
Lonely is affiliated with BigSmokeChapo’s Addicted To Money. He was later signed to Playboi Carti’s Opium label in early 2021, along with Ken Carson and Homixide Gang.
Destroy Lonely's studio album, "If Looks Could Kill" was released on 5 May, 2023. It has a unique horror movie fashion-killer aesthetic and has its own short film "Look Killa" to accompany it.

Destroy Lonely Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Okay, okay
(Is that Kory on the beat?)
Yeah, aight
Come through, I'm fly like a motherfucking kite
Lil' bitch, you should know that I'm already high
Pssh, okay, yeah, aight
Yeah, aight, I didn't hit that bitch once, I hit her twice
I look at the clock and it say it's 'bout five
Goddamn, I been stuck in this bitch all night
And I couldn't get no sleep, had to catch me a flight
Damn, it feel like I'm stuck in the sky
Damn, I keep working, I don't get tired
Damn, yeah, okay, aight!
I got an iPhone 10, not the 5
That's not my main phone, that's just the side
Damn, that's not my main bitch, that's just a side
Which one do I choose, dawg? I can't decide
Yeah, don't come outside
We got that fire and you fuck niggas fried
These blues hundreds my main, dish lettuce the side
And this is a real bad bitch, let that ho come inside
Yeah, my boy got that shit on his side
Don't try him or this shit get violent
This Margiela shit, whisper in libraries
Dollar signs, just keep 'em in silence
Damn, yeah, okay, aight!
Yes, I'm a car on the beat how I ride
I'm touchin' so many racks, they think I signed
And I pay like 45 bucks for a line
Yeah, if these hoes wanna fuck, make 'em line up
And these boys, they not tough, they not tryin' us
Yeah, break her back, make that bitch pick her spine up
And then I go buy her expensive designer
Yeah, this money, it get all my time
That lil' boy, he burnt and his motherfucking time up
I cook this shit up, I need me a timer
And I'm looking for your bitch but I can't find her
Yeah, I got her wet like an island
Yeah, you know I'm a slimeball
Yeah, I'm sipping lean, this not wine, dawg

Come through, I'm fly like a motherfucking kite
Lil' bitch, you should know that I'm already high
I'm a young nigga and I been reaching new heights
Pssh, okay, yeah, aight
Yeah, aight, I didn't hit that bitch once, I hit her twice
I look at the clock and it say it's 'bout five
Goddamn, I been stuck in this bitch all night
