This is the Pitchfork Review. I'm Jeremy Larson, the reviews director here.

Pooja has the week off, and today we're talking about the latest release from Liliati,

the SoundCloud rapper turned aspiring serious artist.

The album is called Let's Start Here.

And if you were one of the 14 million people who hit play on his viral hit Poland,

you're probably curious how he'd follow that up.

Dash it all out.

I'm joined once again by staff writer Alphonse Pierre and contributing editor Dylan Green.

Guys, we're here in the studio today.

We're together.

We're going to figure this whole thing out.

I'm doing well, Jeremy. Thank you. What about you doing?

I'm cool, and thank y'all for having me again.

This is great. It's great. I'm here. I feel very blessed.

So Alphonse, can you just, like, take us through his career?
