Lil Tecca Is Alive

ORIGIN
Lil Tecca is an up-and-coming American hip-hop artist based in Queens, New York. His music portfolio includes popular singles “Molly Girl,” “Did It Again,” “Love Me,” and “Count Me Out.” In a short period of time, he has developed a sizeable social media presence. His Instagram, for example, is home to more than 2.1M followers. His popularity has rewarded him with exclusive features on vlog giant, WorldStarHipHop.

Real name, Tyler Sharpe, he was born on August 26, 2002, in Queens, New York. He was raised in the Springfield neighborhood. Lil Tecca is of Jamaican ancestry as both of his parents are Jamaican migrants. In 7th grade, he relocated to Five Towns, Long Island. Before music, he played basketball and had dreams of making it to the NBA. Lil Tecca forfeited those dreams in 7th grade and stared his attention towards music. Though he attends school and wants to graduate, he is not overly motivated in academics. Growing up, he tuned in to Eminem, Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, and Chief Keef. His father was also a small-time singer.

CAREER
Lil Tecca explains that he started rapping because of Xbox. He and a gaming buddy started dropping diss tracks about each other. He was 9 years old then. Eventually, the track was uploaded on SoundCloud. Towards the ending of 2017, Lil Tecca’s music began attracting a sizeable amount of listeners. Some of his preliminary tracks included “No More,” “Callin,” and “Flyboy.” Collectively, they would become the recipients of 1 million-plus plays on SoundCloud.

In 2018, Lil Tecca’s music career undergoes a massive expansion. His single “My Time,” released in March, became the first track to exceed 1 million plays on SoundCloud. It currently sits at 1.7 million. In September, he dropped another banger titled “Count Me Out.” It, too, would quickly establish over a million streams online. In the last quarter of 2018, Lil Tecca released “Love Me” and “Love No Thot.” “Love Me,” the more popular of the two, would be streamed over 3 million times. From the overwhelming feedback, it’s quite clear that Lil Tecca’s career is heading in the right direction.

In 2019, Lil Tecca released two of his hottest singles thus far, “Did it Again” and “Molly Girl.” Both tracks arrived in January and March, respectively. In just 3 months, “Did It Again” has seen over 7 million streams online. The music video was also featured exclusively on WSHH. It has become his most popular track on SoundCloud. “Molly Girl,” the other fan-favorite, has become extremely popular on Spotify and iTunes. On both platforms, it is listed among his hottest.

Lil Tecca is very active on social media. He apparently has some ongoing beef with Toronto youngsters. He can be seen in live videos arguing with them over trivial stuff. A lot of the youths called him out for copying their style. The young artist has already crossed path with Lil Tjay, Juice WRLD, and Lil Mosey.

In May of 2019, Lil Tecca released “Ransom,” one of his hottest projects yet. Produced by Nick Mira & Taz Taylor, the single blew the ceiling off the house.

On Spotify, “Ransom” is recognized as his most popular single, by far. “We Love You Tecca,” his premier mixtape, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 album charts in September of 2019. The 18-track project, released under Galactic Records, featured one artist, Juice WRLD.
