RecoHavoc has transformed the trials of his Southwest Philadelphia upbringing into a distinct and compelling voice in hip-hop. From an early age, he found solace in music and dance, but life threw him off course. At 16, a robbery charge landed him in a juvenile correctional facility, where he faced the heartbreaking loss of his mother. With his father battling addiction and legal issues, RecoHavoc had no choice but to navigate life’s harsh realities on his own.
Instead of letting these hardships define him, RecoHavoc turned his pain into power, channeling his raw experiences into music that resonates with authenticity. He began releasing self-produced songs and viral videos, quickly making a name for himself in his community. His breakthrough came in 2016 with the viral hit “Lucas,” which amassed millions of views and put him on the map as an artist to watch. This momentum, paired with his mixtape One Way Out, caught the attention of radio stations and record labels, ultimately leading to a deal with Atlantic Records in 2017.
RecoHavoc’s rise continued with his 2018 DJ Drama-hosted mixtape Started, which further showcased his gritty storytelling and unique delivery. Collaborations with industry heavyweights like PnB Rock and Lil Uzi Vert, a four-time GRAMMY® nominee, solidified his presence in the hip-hop scene. RecoHavoc’s ability to transform personal pain into poignant lyrics has earned him a dedicated following and a growing reputation.
Now, with his new single “Circles,” featuring Reese Youngn and DJ Crazy, RecoHavoc is preparing for the next phase of his career.
