TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA - Independent artist NFL Rekko is blowing up the rap scene in Florida, and his brilliance is expanding across the nation. Every song he drops racks up thousands of views on streaming platforms and brings this rising star closer to exploding into the industry.

When asked what sets him apart from other rappers, NFL Rekko replied, “Everybody got their own story. You got to listen to hear mine. Everybody got their own sound; that is what made me different. I got my own sound.”

Known for his ad-libs and freestyling lyrics, NFL Rekko does not hold back in his songs or life. Rising like a phoenix from a challenging childhood coupled with living on the streets, NFL Rekko knows pain. As a multifaceted artist, he brings truth and honesty to trap and gangster music - and it begins with his name. NFL is an acronym for Never Forget Loyalty.

At 16, he was hustling on the streets and chasing money. Feeling lost after this brother was sent to prison, he began freestyling with some friends and discovered his passion. “When they put the beat on one time, I just went crazy. I was snapping. Everybody told me that rapping was my lane,” said NFL Rekko.

In 2018, he dropped “Let It Go” on Soundcloud, and it quickly collected 1K views. The world got a taste of NFL Rekko, and it wanted more. But it would have to wait.

After spending time in jail for a concealed firearms charge, NFL Rekko’s world changed upon release. His brother was killed. “I didn’t think shit was real. I lost connection for life,” he said. “By 2019, I came out of my shell and wanted to come back to life. I was rapping, and everything I did came from pain from what I’ve seen and been through. I knew I’d either be rapping or living on the streets. It was death or jail. I didn’t understand it until it was happening in front of me,” he explained.

That is the man behind the mic, the soul of NFL Rekko. He allows fans to understand his story through music while taking them on a musical journey that is so addictive no one can stop listening.

The single “Don’t Talk to Me” is an example of NFL Rekko’s mastery and displays his musicality. With two versions of the track, an explicit and radio version, NFL Rekko said, “‘Don’t Talk to Me’ is a song made for people who doubted me and didn’t believe in me. I promise to my fans and family I will not let y’all down. I just need y’all to pay attention to the music, and y’all going to fall in love with this unique original style.”

Fans love NFL Rekko and this track. The music video has more than 1.7K views in just a few days. Set in a popular retail store in his hometown of Titusville and filmed by Shot By Oz, the music video features NFL Rekko flexing cash and rapping directly to fans. Using versatile bars and a delivery that pulls listeners in, the video is pure NFL Rekko - authentic, honest, and entertaining.

With new singles being released weekly, NFL Rekko is a fan favorite ruling the scene. As he says, “NFL Rekko stands for Never Forget Loyalty because loyalty is priceless, no matter the sacrifices.”
