NorthsBest is Seattle rapper Lil Mosey’s first project, released in April 2017, just eight months after the release of its first single, “Off White.” It is the first rendition of Mosey’s two mixtapes of the same name, as his first commercial mixtape, Northsbest, released the following year.
Stylistically, Mosey primarily uses elements of hip-hop and R&B, differentiating from the pop-infused hip-hop sound he grew into with his following projects.
The standout on the nine-track (eight with the eventual removal of “Ion See You”) project is Mosey’s December 2016 track “So Bad.” While it did not act as his breakout hit, it received a rise in popularity in the years following its release.
