This up-and-coming artist has been making waves with his hard-hitting and witty flows, earning him a reputation as one of the hottest new names in the industry. Born into a family with limited means, Ego Champ’s upbringing was marked by the harsh realities of life. Yet, it is precisely these challenges that have fueled his musical journey.

At just 13, he penned his first rap verse, marking the inception of a journey that would see him transform adversity into art.

Drawing inspiration from two of the genre’s legends—Tupac Shakur and Lil Wayne—Ego Champ has crafted a sound that marries Tupac’s powerful storytelling with Lil Wayne’s playful and clever delivery. This blend results in flows that are not only authentic but also refreshingly innovative.
