252 Lico is an upcoming artist unlike no other hailing from Pamlico, North Carolina. His hit single with Grammy-nominated megastar DaBaby – titled “Just Want”- served as a catalyst to introduce Lico to mainstream media.
Since then, he has expanded his popularity and managed to develop a strong online presence, showing much promise of being a force within the Carolina’s mushrooming soundscape. “It would be a lie if I didn’t say I’m the next biggest artist outta North Carolina,” Lico avows in confidence.Growing up, life was the furthest thing from normal for Lico. While his father served in the navy, day-to-day life in Pamlico came with its fair share of struggle: crime-ridden communities and a ravaged homeland depleted of resources and opportunity. With hardly anyone to cling to for insight, Lico’s survival skills were tested. His back was against the wall but he didn’t fold, he never compromised the vision, even if that meant taking risks just to make it another day.
It’s this very same frame of mind that has enabled Lico to remain hungry for success, because he knows what it feels like to come from nothing.With the debut of his self-titled project 252 Lico, the Pamlico rep superseded expectations by creating impact beyond mere streams. The effort taunts a feature with acclaimed radio host DJ Scream (Big Facts Podcast) and has amassed over 1 million streams across platforms since its release (2020). Fan favorite cuts like “Coronavirus” have cited over 100K views on YouTube in one month’s time, a testament to his unparalleled work ethic.Candidly speaking, it’s evident that 252 Lico is writing his legacy and cementing his position within the music industry, and he’s just getting started.
