A year later, he connected with fellow Atlanta rap artist Johnny Cinco who encouraged Lucci to take his talents seriously and get in the studio. YFN Lucci went on to perfect his craft and develop his sound over the years, eventually landing on two records off of Johnny Cinco’s “John Popi” mixtape in 2014.
The collaboration generated a substantial buzz as YFN Lucci’s undeniable talent gained In the summer of 2014, TIG’s CEO Girvan “Fly” Henry took note of YFN Lucci’s increasing buzz and signed him to Atlanta’s fastest rising indie label.
YFN Lucci joins a golden roster of talent including Rich Homie Quan and Trinidad James at TIG. Since the release of his mixtape which garnered over 1M views at Live Mixtapes, Lucci has toured continuously over the last six months from Wisconsin to Miami, Charlotte to Houston. When not in the studio, he’s in the studio working with producers Sonny Digital, Fresh Jones and Spiffy.
YFN Lucci’s creative blend of singing and lyricism make for a unique sound with a southern touch. Now, with new music and colorful visuals there’s no end in sight for this Hip-Hop star in the making with his current songs in rotation at radio “I Wonder Why” and “Know No Better”. The “Wish Me Well” EP is available now on iTunes.
Wish Me Well 2 dropped on Lucci's birthday February 16, 2016 featuring all new music including "YFN", "Boss", "Destined" and "Key to the Streets" f/Migos and Trouble.

They don't want to see you shine
Got some partners locked away
Far Away
And every single time
They call my phone
I answer every time
Counting the days till the day

One night only
You know you can't stay
When you getting to the the money

The lyrics of YFN Lucci's "Everytime" reflect the challenges that come with success and wealth. The first verse talks about the negative energies that come from those who do not want to see someone else succeed. The line "When you getting to the money, they don't want to see you shine" highlights how people tend to resent successful individuals, especially if they were once acquaintances or friends. The chorus repeats this idea with a variation of "they don't want to see you shine" and then moves on to showcase how even with the negative energy around, the artiste focuses on work, counting the days and endeavoring to make more money. The line "Got some partners locked away/far away, And every single time..." drops an interesting clue suggesting that some individuals may not be here to share the artist's success. The subsequent line "One night only, you know you can't stay" implies that perhaps there is a delicate balance between success and personal connections, and YFN Lucci knows when it is time to move on.
In the second verse, YFN Lucci talks about how he is committed to his work, and he answers every call because that could be an opportunity to make more money. He juxtaposes his committed work ethic with those who just want to leech off of his success. He drops lines like "Pay on time, or else you dying," emphasizing that he will not stand for any nonsense from outsiders who try to get a free ride off his hard work. The lines "Now we shinin'/Perfect timin'/We don't go to hoes; now we fly 'em in" reveal that as he becomes more successful, his perception and ways change. The song continues with more lines on success, life, and how the artist navigates them.

When you getting to the money
As you begin to acquire wealth
They don't want to see you shine
People may become envious and not support your success
Got some partners locked away
There are friends who are incarcerated
Far Away
They are located at a distance from me
And every single time
Each instance when
They call my phone
My incarcerated friends reach out to me
I answer every time
I always pick up the phone for them
Counting the days till the day
Looking forward to their release date
Got some pretty bitches
I have attractive women in my life
On the way
They are coming to see me
One night only
Just for a single evening
You know you can't stay

Papi got that bad bitch on go mode
A man named Papi has an attractive woman who is willing and ready to engage in sexual activity
It's John Papi and they don't know
A man named John Papi is unknown to those who do not recognize him
I'm the the one that parked the Bentley
I am the person who parked the luxury car
At the front door
Visible and accessible from the front entrance
Lucci got the bitches at the front row
Lucci has women sitting in the front row that are attracted to him
They been dying to see it and
They have been eager and excited to witness what he has to offer
They want mo'
They want more of what he has to present
