Critical Praise:

“Lil Rekk is only getting more popular with each video that he drops and while he is sitting atop the New York underground scene at the moment it is only a matter of time until he is pushed into the mainstream’s focus.” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Project + Video:

With the combination of upbeat tempos and authentic lyrics, Lil Rekk (pronounced “Lil Reek”) is ready to be the next North Philadelphia rapper to step into the limelight. Showing that he’s ready to run with the big dogs, Rekk shares 1ONE, his new project. Titled after a nickname Rekk was given by his homies in North Philly (pronounced “one-one”), 1ONE puts forth 12 tracks that each offer a glimpse into the different facets of Rekk’s personality. Lil Rekk’s version of “pain music” is not only meant to be therapeutic to his fans, but also an affirmation to himself that he’s moving forward in the right direction.

The new project is home to two recent singles, “Time” and “Ooters,” the latter of which has racked up 1.5 million views on YouTube since its mid-November release. The project provides a good mix of emotional songs and street-savvy slaps. On tape highlight “Bipolar,” Rekk shouts out anyone who’s been through the ups and downs of a relationship rapping, “One day you say that you love me / the next day you hate me / baby you so bipolar.” He lets his casual bravado shine through over booming 808s on “Get Money,” a bright and confident hustler’s anthem. 1ONE stands as a statement of growth, showing that Rekk is truly one of a kind. Featuring one guest appearance from 42 Dugg, 1ONE is available everywhere now via EMPIRE/Highbridge The Label.

Along with his new project, Lil Rekk shares “PTSD,” his new Watsynfilmz-directed video. Showing that his charisma doesn’t only shine through in the studio, the video finds Rekk performing live to hundreds of his screaming fans. The video frequently catches Rekk pointing to the sky as he lets his loyal fans know that the only place he’s going is up. Laced with heavy bass beats, Rekk lets it be known that he’s always looking over his shoulder, rapping: “Ain’t no love in the street no more, gotta watch my heart / my b**** say she love me but she ain’t been playin’ her part.”

Born and raised in North Philly, Rekk only started focusing on his musical career in 2019 after he watched one of his friends get into the rap game. Inspired by his friend’s hustle, Rekk found his own footing in the industry and has since released two full-length albums, The Ticket in 2019 and World Plus in 2021. The latter album has found mainstream success with Rekk’s “So So Dangerous” featuring Stunna Gambino & YXNG K.A receiving over 2.4 million views on YouTube. Now signed to Highbridge The Label, Lil Rekk is ready to bring his confident and relatable street music to his ever growing fanbase.

With 1ONE, Lil Rekk is ready to prove that he’s next out of Philly, and ready to follow his Highbridge labelmates A Boogie and Don Q to stardom.

The Background:

Born Tyreke Curry in Philadelphia, PA, Lil Rekk was forced to grow up fast. The absence of his father and childhood trauma introduced him to the harsh realities of life. Fortunately, Hip-Hop gave Lil Rekk an outlet to express himself. Music would eventually become his salvation. He began calling himself Lil Rekk and released his debut mixtape The Graduation, in 2018. The 20-year-old artist who is signed with Platinum Recording Artist A-Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s Highbridge The Label went on to release an increasingly impressive series of singles, remixes, and albums which accumulated over 5M streams in the process. Influenced by modern Hip-Hop and R&B sounds, his music inspirations include Drake, Lil Durk, Boogie and Lil Baby. His upcoming project will showcase the sound of an artist confidently stepping into the spotlight. With his ever growing catalog of compelling tracks, it’s clear that Lil Rekk is on the journey to stardom.
