With Lil Berete’s distinctive voice, raw talent, dynamic flow and a measured duality of confidence and vulnerability, it makes sense that Lil Berete cites Akon, T-Pain, and Young Thug as his sonic influences. Combining his own gritty Toronto-fused slang with the influence of his mother’s music and art from her homeland of Guinea, Berete has quickly created his own unique lane in Toronto's burgeoning underground rap scene. Along with embracing his role of raconteur of the daily life in Regent Park, a Toronto neighbourhood often divided by gang violence and misrepresented in the media, Lil Berete’s wily use of melody leaves you feeling hope for a brighter future.

it’s no wonder why FADER, XXL, Complex and Passion Of Weiss has all heralded Lil Berete as Toronto’s most important new artist on the scene. With a distinctive voice, raw talent and a dynamic flow, Lil Berete’s duality of confidence and vulnerability is captivating.
