🔥NEW ALBUM “I USED TO LOVE HIP HOP” AVAILABLE NOV 12, 2019 ON ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS🔥

Locust is an artist that has done things the hard way. From tough realities come big dreams, and this is a creative with serious goals. Coming out of a small town in eastern Canada, Locust describes a ‘dark background’; one that took the fire of determination and ambition to escape from. Fighting for a different future than the one laid out in front of you can take its toll and it is evident in Locusts work that success and the journey towards it weighs heavy. Locust has travelled the country and learned his trade, using music, the one thing he feels he can trust, as a guide. This almost obsessive passion has forged an artist of true grit and integrity.

Locust is a hip hop artist - a lyricist and audio engineer who has channelled all of the hardships of his personal journey into work that stands out for narrative artistry and that elusive quality - real life. ‘I Used to Love Hip Hop’, released in 2019, shows off the breadth of Locust’s skills. Self mixed and mastered, the album is cut through with haunting beats, vivid story telling and an arresting flow. Locust has the ability to wrap the audience in a story and take them with him as he weaves through secrets, challenges and success. As an artist first transfixed musically by Wu Tang’s ‘36 Chambers’, these influences have manifested as a commitment to lyrics that play out like movies in your head - Locust himself says that for him it’s all about writing that ‘makes sense’, above all else. The album is a significant marker for an artist ready to make a big impact in 2020.

For those who need the complexity of real story-telling, lyricism that paints pictures, originality and integrity, all by an artist who has really lived, through hardships, real challenges and daring success - seek out Locust and witness an artist on an unstoppable rise.
