Rayshawn Lamar Bennett (born February 16, 1991), known professionally as YFN Lucci, is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. In 2014, Bennett signed a record deal with Think It's A Game Entertainment and released his debut mixtape, Wish Me Well in December of that year. His second mixtape, Wish Me Well 2 (2016) marked his first entry on the Billboard 200, and was led by the single "Key to the Streets" (featuring Migos and Trouble)—his first Billboard Hot 100 entry. His debut extended play (EP), Long Live Nut (2017) peaked at number 27 on chart and spawned the single "Everyday We Lit" (featuring PnB Rock), which peaked at number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains his highest-charting song.
His debut studio album, Ray Ray from Summerhill (2018) peaked at number 14 on the Billboard 200. In May 2021, he was arrested following a statewide manhunt and charged with 11 others in a RICO indictment. On January 23, 2024, Bennett pleaded guilty to one count of violation of Georgia's Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act and was sentenced to serve ten years in prison and ten years on probation; he was credited for time already served.[1][2]
