She walked away,
the fruit was always forbidden.
The story of Lil' ITH isn't written in a studio; it’s written from her hustle. Born in the raw energy of NYC, her path cut through the winters of Chicago and the high-stakes hustle of LA before finally landing in the vibrant chaos of Guadalajara. Along the way, she wasn’t just looking for a sound, she was taking notes. Like a modern disciple of the streets, Lil’ ITH gathered the stories of the overlooked: the women in fading relationships, the exhausted, and the underestimated. These travels turned her lyrics into a living record of the people she met, transforming a nomadic life into a focused mission.
Musically, Lil' ITH occupies a space she calls "Electronic Cultivation." It’s a sound rooted in the deep soul of R&B and the sharp, unapologetic cadence of old-school hip-hop, all built onto a frame of heavy electronic machinery. It is a "dark lushness" music that feels like a thick jungle at midnight, dangerous but alive. In this aesthetic universe, the Garden of Eden isn't a myth; it’s a lens. The bass is heavy enough for the club, but the message is precise enough for the soul.
Currently operating within the vanguard of Torta Ahogada, Lil' ITH is preparing to release her most provocative work to date. The project centers on a woman at her absolute breaking point, unseen, unappreciated, and trapped in the domestic mundane. Using deep biblical metaphors to dismantle old power structures, Lil’ ITH explores the moment "SHE" decides to walk away. Whether that departure is a literal end or a spiritual rebirth depends entirely on the listener's perspective. Fuck the garden, and for Lil' ITH, real beauty is locked behind gates and manicured, its everything unexpected outside of the walls.

Out of the Garden
"Butchy" wasn’t a planned; it was a strike of lightning. I wrote it from the perspective of two distinct female personalities, originally envisioning it as a collaboration between two different voices. The energy was so specific that I might have to revisit that duet idea down the line.
ZAPATEKNO actually had the remix finished before he even pitched the vision to me. That’s my lil homie… he has this surgical way of keeping the original soul of a song intact while re-engineering the architecture to make it an absolute club meal.
After "Butchy," ZAPATEKNO was already hungry for the next one. It was a unique situation because the studio version of “Eat the Fruit” wasn’t even fully baked. But something told me the message was so heavy and powerful that she needed an introduction first. Let her meet the world in her party dress and stilettos; once they get to know her, she can switch to the heavier truth
This one came to me while I was seeing some dude, nothing too serious, just casual. He was the type who wanted his own freedom but tried to keep everything else on a leash. When he didn't get his way, he was sensitive as hell. The irony was, he had the softest skin I’d ever seen, no joke and that’s the metaphor. He was smooth on the outside but lacked that same depth within. That man needs Aveeno for his soul.
