Lelo

Detroit’s Lelo is an internet-inspired rap artist redefining Midwestern Hip-Hop with dark humor, eclectic influences, and a relentless output. He broke out in 2024 with Nightingale and the viral hit “No Contempt,” coining the “New Detroit” movement. By 2025, co-signs from The FADER, Pi’erre Bourne, and Babyface Ray, plus over 1M monthly Spotify listeners, cemented his rise. Blending animé, Japanese fashion, and Detroit’s sonic legacy, Lelo is preparing his debut album New Detroit to solidify his pioneering sound.
