Losk Masta

“I’ve been able to string words together since I could talk” spoken words from emcee Losk Masta hailing from Metropolitan Detroit. Losk developed a passion for writing music at the age of 9. When he was 11 his dad gave him a tape recorder because he could overhear him freestyling and mumbling rhymes under his breath anytime he heard music. At that moment he became Losk Masta.

Losk released his first body of work, a mixtape called “Individuation” in 2013, and in 2015 he released “Neptune’s Alien 2”. He quickly became a force and developed a reputation of being a top emcee who could move a crowd however shortly afterward, life circumstances required his attention resulting in a hiatus from his music career. During this time he never stopped writing and that collection of songs turned into his release “Shalahleem” in the summer of 2020. Shalahleem was a term he created that means peace, love, and positivity. This body of work captured the essence of his prolific writing pen giving the listener thought-provoking bars filled with love, passion, and versatility.

Coming off of his last release Losk Masta ended the 2020 with a bang. Losk joined iKonic Entertainment Group which had recently partnered with WhoMag Distribution to secure a distribution deal with Orchard, a subsidiary of Sony music.

iKonic released Losk’s maxi-single “Factuals” produced by Jamel Da Don w/b “Make Ya Mind Up” ft Vic Smoke, December 2020. “Factuals” is a base driven, melodic, tempo flow where Losk commands the beat and delivers factual bars. “Make Ya Mind Up” is an energetic, fun, addictive track that’s guaranteed to make you get up and shake your body as Losk and Vic Smoke provide tag team bars. Looking ahead to 2021 and beyond, Losk Masta is already working on several projects with platinum and Grammy nominated producers and will be delivering several bodies of work for the upcoming year.
