Lil’ Wyte: Crunk Ain’t Got No Color

Is it possible for a 5’9″, 160-pound white boy from Memphis, Tennessee to tear the club up? “People still don’t believe I’m white,” Lil’ Wyte tells Urban Elevation. “They think I’m just using the name Lil’Wyte, but I’m really a black dude. One time I was at a sneaker shop [up north] and [a fan] was like, ‘Damn, I thought you was black. I guess it’s different with the type of music I’m making. With Eminem, you can actually tell he’s white. To me, I sound white, but a lot of people can’t tell because of the type of music I make.”
