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 Announcement + Video:
Channelling the valuable lessons he learned through his experiences in the streets, Lil Rekk (pronounced “Lil Reek”) utilizes honest lyrics and upbeat tempos to create his own unique style of “pain music.” Today, Lil Rekk announces 1ONE, his new project. Pronounced “one-one,” the title of the project comes from a nickname given to Rekk by his friends, signifying the North Philly rapper’s singular ability to overcome obstacles and make it out of the city. Throughout the project’s 12 tracks, Lil Rekk promises to succeed not only for himself but also for his loved ones and for his loyal fans. Featuring one guest appearance from 42 Dugg, 1ONE will be available everywhere on January 14 via EMPIRE/Highbridge The Label.
Along with the project announcement, Lil Rekk shares his new song “Confetti,” performed live as an exclusive with 4 Shooters Only. Performing “From The Block” outside of an NYC bodega while wearing his heavy namesake chain, Rekk pairs his casual bravado with his flex-heavy lyrics. Backed by booming 808’s, Rekk makes it known that his career is his main focus: “I ain’t tryna make new friends, I been on some business s***.” The opening track from 1ONE, “Confetti” arrives in the wake of Rekk’s two recent singles, “Time” and “Ooters,” the latter of which has racked up 1.5 million views on YouTube since its mid-November release.
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.
