In a 2017 No Jumper interview, Lucki states that he doesn't listen to Nirvana, but he is inspired by Kurt Cobain, saying “I felt like i was really relating to self destruction”.

Gucci Mane is a rapper from Alabama being a very early influencer of trap music (The Guardian, 2015). Beats focused around 808's and percussion, a lot of this type of music was influenced by 90's gangsta rap with less focus on lyricism. Daily Beast (2015) states "Then, in 2011, he took a liking to his rap idol, Gucci Mane, and Waka Flocka Flame, and began rapping in English, mimicking Gucci’s deliberate delivery and absurdist rap stylings—albeit from the lens of a white teenager."

Waka Flocka is a frequent collaborator with Gucci Mane having known each other since he was 19 (HipHopDX, 2011). Lots of the drums in Lean's tracks take inspiration from this early version of trap.

This reached a stage where DJ Paul & Juicy J sued $uicideboy$ for using their materials (Complex, 2020).

LUCKI is a rapper from Chicago active through the 2010's to present day. His lyrics usually revolve around women, money and drugs and he talks about a lot of sad things in a really indifferent cadence, over hard sounding trap beats and it creates a feeling that i really like. In a lot of his older work his beat selection lots of sounds that you would expect to hear in cloud rap type beats which i also really like.

$CRIM is a rapper/producer famous for being part of $uicideboy$, active from the early 2010's to present day. $crim's beats are really unique utilising lots of 90-00's Memphis tracks to fill out melodies and create rhythm. I think $crims sampling and taste in music is insane and the way he integrates it into his beats is really interesting.
