Lil Tecca, born Tyler-Justin Anthony Sharpe, is one of the most popular names in the current rap scene. His journey began in an unusual way, with him dreaming of being an NBA player before falling in love with music at the age of 12. Influenced by artists like Chief Keef and Speaker Knockerz, Tecca started rapping casually, improvising diss tracks while playing Xbox with friends.

The true turning point in his career came in 2019 with the single “Ransom,” which quickly became a global hit, reaching 4th place on the Billboard Hot 100 and accumulating over 1.6 billion streams. This song was part of his first mixtape, We Love You Tecca, which was also a big success, reaching 4th place on the Billboard 200. With the release of other albums like Virgo World (2020), We Love You Tecca 2 (2021), and Tec (2023), Lil Tecca solidified his position as a successful artist in the rap scene.

In 2024, Tecca continued his trajectory with the release of his fourth album, Plan A, which maintained his signature melodic style and featured collaborations, such as with Don Toliver on the track “I Can’t Let Go.” Additionally, Tecca is also a co-owner of Galactic Records and maintains a strong presence on social media, where he connects with fans and promotes his releases.

In 2025, Lil Tecca will be one of the highlights of the 15th Sumol Summer Fest in Portugal, performing on the Palco Sumol stage on July 4th. Without a doubt, the festival will be a great opportunity for Portuguese fans to experience the talent of this rising artist.
