Icy Narco is one of the hottest artists coming out of the Florida rap scene. At only 19 years old, he’s already fine-tuned a versatile sound that’s drawn comparisons to Lil Pump and XXXTentacion – comparisons he disputes, claiming that his “hard-ass, icy sound” is uniquely his own: “people are gonna start growing love for me because they can’t find this sound anywhere else.”
Cuban-born but hailing from South FL, Icy Narco issued his first track ‘You (HEART)’ in 2017. Since then, his online figures have spoken loudly for themselves: he’s blown up on SoundCloud, racking up 6 million plays with only five songs on the platform. The videos for ‘Numb & Frozen’ and ‘Hypocrites’ have surpassed half a million views in only a month since release, while his hottest track ‘Link’ has reached close to nine million views after being premiered on WorldStarHipHop. Narco is also massive on Instagram, tapping into a broad audience of over 400k followers and posting pictures with the likes of J. Cole, Post Malone and Marshmello.
Icy Narco was recently interviewed on the highly influential US hip-hop podcast and YouTube platform No Jumper, a sign that the buzz surrounding his tracks has grown to national levels.
The interview has since drawn over 500k views, bringing the rapper a host of new fans and introducing him to an ever-increasing audience. As the hype around his singles releases continues to grow, Icy Narco is balancing his time working in the studio on his debut full-length release with live performances across the globe.
