Whatever you think you know about Lil Tecca, forget it now. When you throw away all of the internet chatter, clickbait, punditry, and opinions, the music is all that’s left. Now more than ever, that music reflects the truth for the chart-topping multi-platinum New York rapper. It’s why a passionate fan base has connected so intimately to his open-hearted lyrics, otherworldly hooks, and off-kilter flows. It’s why he’s consistently asserted himself as an individual without comparison. It’s also why he will leave an indelible imprint on the game. He’s been quietly preparing himself to make such a statement.

Tecca arrived with the force of a hurricane in 2019. Since emerging, he has gathered nearly 10 billion streams and notched a series of multi-platinum, platinum, and gold singles, including the quadruple-platinum breakthrough “Ransom'' and the platinum-certified bangers “Did It Again,” “Lot of Me,” and “Never Left.” He scored three consecutive Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200 with the 2019 platinum mixtape We Love You Tecca and his first two albums—Virgo World [2020], and We Love You Tecca 2 [2021]. Beyond selling out hundreds of headline shows around the globe, he has collaborated with Lil Uzi Vert, The Kid LAROI, Kodak Black, Lil Durk, and the late Juice WRLD, to name a few. He incited the applause of New York Times, Billboard, HYPEBEAST, Complex, and more along the way.

Despite the previous accolades, Tecca finally introduces his genuine self on his third full-length album, TEC [Galactic Records/Republic Records].
