Louisiana’s own 3K5 is turning pain into power, using music as his outlet to tell stories that hit home. What started as making tracks with friends turned into a passion, and now, he’s all in—sharpening his craft and delivering music that’s both raw and real. His sound, reminiscent of old-school Lil Wayne, blends deep emotion with the energy of the streets.
The grind has already opened major doors. From recording at DJ Flipp’s studio in Los Angeles to locking in an upcoming feature with Lil Dee from Coney Island, NY, 3K5 is proving he’s built for this. His latest single, Crosses featuring Denver Dancer @Genaliseee, is out now on all streaming platforms, giving fans a taste of his heartfelt and unfiltered storytelling.
Being independent hasn’t been easy. He’s faced betrayal, setbacks, and the reality that not everyone wants to see him win. But instead of folding, 3K5 keeps moving, fueled by his vision and relentless drive. His next single, 3K5 Pictures, drops on March 25th, and it’s only the beginning.
