Independent emo rap artist Lilpapercut continues to expand his discography with the release of his single “Cheat Code.” Known for blending emo rap, lo fi hip hop, and melodic hip hop, the musician has built an extensive catalog of personal releases that explore relationships, heartbreak, self reflection, and finding his identity through music.
Born Liam Adams, Lilpapercut has been steadily developing his sound while maintaining an independent approach to recording and releasing music. With a catalog he estimates at nearly 400 songs, the artist has spent years building a collection of singles and albums that reflect different chapters of his life.
“Cheat Code” arrives alongside an already substantial body of work, including his recent 13 track album 22, released on October 6, 2026. The project features songs such as “Void,” “Fire flower,” “Underestimated,” and “Survived,” adding another full-length release to his growing discography.

From th3paperboy to Lilpapercut
Before releasing music under his current name, Adams began his musical journey as th3paperboy, an identity he adopted when he first started creating songs as a kid. As he grew older and continued developing his artistry, he eventually transitioned into Lilpapercut.
During an October 2026 interview with Exposed Vocals, Adams discussed his creative process and the musicians who influenced his direction. He cited Juice WRLD, XXXTentacion, and Joji as artists who helped him connect with music on a more personal level.
His admiration for those musicians eventually influenced the creation of If legends became an album, a project dedicated to the artists who helped him understand his emotions and develop his own voice.
Rather than working with a large production team, Lilpapercut has also described taking a hands on approach to his music. In that same interview, he explained that he recorded the project independently in California, handled the creative process himself, and typically began with lyrics.
That independence has become a consistent part of his musical identity, allowing him to release projects frequently while exploring different ideas and personal experiences.
Building a Catalog Around Love, Heartbreak, and Personal Growth
Throughout his discography, Lilpapercut has repeatedly returned to relationships and emotional experiences as central themes.
His March 2025 album If love was an album introduced a 13-track collection centered on connection and romance. He followed that with ROUGHED UP LOVE in July 2025, an 11-track project exploring heartbreak and the more difficult experiences associated with relationships.
Other releases, including GRAVITY OF YOU and If My Love Letters Were An Album, have continued that focus on emotional songwriting.
More recently, Lilpapercut has also discussed exploring his Christian faith through music. In an October interview with Eternal Flames, he announced plans to release The gospel on December 25, 2026, describing the upcoming album as a reflection of his beliefs and devotion.
The project represents another direction for an artist whose previous work has largely focused on personal relationships, emotional struggles, and self-expression.
With “Cheat Code” now available and additional music planned, Lilpapercut continues building his independent catalog without limiting himself to one particular subject or project.
