Toronto's Lil Berete has made international waves in the past few years. The rapper's project Icebreaker was an introduction to the young star who only began bubbling up in his city a few years back. Since then, he's established himself as one of the hottest new artists in Canada right now.
In the past few months, Lil Berete's unleashed a few singles following the release of 1 Way Out in 2019, seemingly preparing for the release of another project. Today, he dropped off his latest single, "Treacherous." An emotional banger, Berete's voice is filled with pain over the melancholic production. Berete's revisits troubled times in the hood as he was coming up in poverty.
It's another strong effort from Berete. We're looking forward to hearing what he has in store in the coming months.
Quotable Lyrics
And I got some knowledge, yeah
But I ain't go to college, yeah
Go about my money, I can't worry 'bout no politics
Oh you think you on one, but my shooters on some other shit
Chicken with some noodles, I was really living treacherous
