Matthew Peter DeLuca (born April 4, 2005), known professionally as Lil Mabu, is an American rapper from Manhattan, New York City.[1] He first gained recognition in 2020 for his song "Miss Me", and became best known for his 2023 single "Mathematical Disrespect", which entered the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100.
Career
DeLuca began his rap career in 2018. He gained traction with the release of his song "Miss Me" in 2020.[2] In 2022, his song "No Snitching" a collaboration with Dusty Locane, became increasingly popular on the social media app TikTok.[3] DeLuca's debut mixtape, Double M's, was released on June 30, 2022, which featured guest appearances from Dusty Locane, Sha EK, Dougie B, DThang and Rah Swish.[4]
On December 23, 2022, he released a song titled "Throw" featuring New York drill rapper DD Osama, which was the number one trending music video on YouTube for a week at the time of its release.
In May 2023, DeLuca released the song "Mathematical Disrespect".[5] It charted in the US, UK and Ireland, becoming his first entry on any worldwide major music chart.[6][7] A month later, he graduated from high school and released another single, titled "Rich Scholar". On August 22, 2023, he announced that he was going to college and on September 1, released the single "At What Cost?" accompanied by a music video.
On October 17, 2023, DeLuca and rapper Chrisean Rock released "Mr. Take Ya Bitch", a diss track aimed at Blueface and his manager Wack 100.[8] It quickly charted on both Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot 100 chart, peaking at numbers 33 and 96 respectively. Additionally, it charted on the TikTok Billboard Top 50, peaking at number one by November 2, 2023.[9] Rock and DeLuca feuded with Blueface over social media.[10][11]
On December 21, 2023, DeLuca and rapper Fivio Foreign released "Teach Me How to Drill",[12] accompanied by a music video.[13]
In April 2024, DeLuca almost injured himself when a gun he was holding discharged while he was filming a music video.[14][15]
Personal life
In 2022, it was revealed by the New York Post that DeLuca was a model student at the prestigious Collegiate School, a $60,000 tuition prep school in Manhattan, and that his family owned properties totaling $12 million.[16][better source needed][15][17] Some commentators have noted the contrast between DeLuca's upper-class socioeconomic background, and the subject matter of DeLuca's drill music.[18][19][20]
DeLuca is currently a business student at Emory University, and records music in his dorm room. DeLuca describes himself as being in "school by day, being in the streets at night time".[15][21]
