The cover art for “LISA” is a single word in glossy bubblegum pink, surrounded by four-point sparkles, on plain white. There is no photograph of the artist, no logo, no parental advisory sticker. For a Columbus artist whose own bio files him under rap, that image is the whole pitch.
BEVIxPlanett — Connor Wheat, born in Columbus in February 2008 — describes his catalog as “Pop, Rap, Indie, and R&B” and his scene as the underground. “LISA,” released this year, is billed as bubblegum and dance pop: upbeat, radio-facing, no hedging. It is the least underground thing he could have made, and that appears to be the point.
At a glance
- Song: “LISA” — bubblegum / dance pop, released 2026
- Artist: BEVIxPlanett, born Connor Wheat, February 2008
- Based in: Columbus, Ohio
- Usual lane: Pop, rap, indie and R&B — “LISA” is a deliberate turn toward straight pop

The pivot is cheaper than it looks
A genre turn like this reads as a gamble only if an artist releases once a year. Wheat does not. Since 2024 he has shipped “SELFISH,” “High St. (ANTHEM),” “BAD 4 ME,” “GET IT!,” “one of u,” “This XMAS,” “LISA” and “COLD WINTER,” on top of a 2023 album, The Beginning. He started putting music on SoundCloud around age 13.
At that cadence a single is not a referendum on your identity — it is a test. If the pop record connects, he has a new lane. If it does not, there is another song in six weeks. This is what an artist who has been releasing publicly for five years and is still only eighteen can do that a signed act, three years into an album cycle, cannot.
Why the artwork matters
Pop has spent several years in a candy-colored, Y2K-referencing revival, and the visual grammar of “LISA” — hot pink, chrome-edged lettering, sparkle motifs — sits squarely inside it. What is notable is the commitment. Plenty of rap-adjacent artists making a pop play hedge the artwork, keeping a moody photo or a dark palette as an escape hatch back to the old audience.
There is no escape hatch here. The cover tells anyone scrolling exactly what the song is before a note plays, which is either the most useful thing a small artist can do on a streaming platform or the riskiest. Both, probably.
Where to hear it
“LISA” is streaming on Spotify, Apple Music and the rest of the major platforms. BEVIxPlanett’s full catalog, including The Beginning and the 2025 run of singles, is on his artist pages, and he keeps links and merch collected at his own site.
