TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA - Independent artist NFL Rekko is blowing up the rap scene in Florida, and his brilliance is expanding across the nation. Every song he drops racks up thousands of views on streaming platforms and brings this rising star closer to exploding into the industry.
When asked what sets him apart from other rappers, NFL Rekko replied, “Everybody got their own story. You got to listen to hear mine. Everybody got their own sound; that is what made me different. I got my own sound.”
Known for his ad-libs and freestyling lyrics, NFL Rekko does not hold back in his songs or life. Rising like a phoenix from a challenging childhood coupled with living on the streets, NFL Rekko knows pain. As a multifaceted artist, he brings truth and honesty to trap and gangster music - and it begins with his name. NFL is an acronym for Never Forget Loyalty.
At 16, he was hustling on the streets and chasing money. Feeling lost after this brother was sent to prison, he began freestyling with some friends and discovered his passion. “When they put the beat on one time, I just went crazy. I was snapping. Everybody told me that rapping was my lane,” said NFL Rekko.
In 2018, he dropped “Let It Go” on Soundcloud, and it quickly collected 1K views. The world got a taste of NFL Rekko, and it wanted more. But it would have to wait.
After spending time in jail for a concealed firearms charge, NFL Rekko’s world changed upon release. His brother was killed. “I didn’t think shit was real. I lost connection for life,” he said. “By 2019, I came out of my shell and wanted to come back to life. I was rapping, and everything I did came from pain from what I’ve seen and been through. I knew I’d either be rapping or living on the streets. It was death or jail. I didn’t understand it until it was happening in front of me,” he explained.
That is the man behind the mic, the soul of NFL Rekko. He allows fans to understand his story through music while taking them on a musical journey that is so addictive no one can stop listening.
The single “Don’t Talk to Me” is an example of NFL Rekko’s mastery and displays his musicality. With two versions of the track, an explicit and radio version, NFL Rekko said, “‘Don’t Talk to Me’ is a song made for people who doubted me and didn’t believe in me. I promise to my fans and family I will not let y’all down. I just need y’all to pay attention to the music, and y’all going to fall in love with this unique original style.”
Fans love NFL Rekko and this track. The music video has more than 1.7K views in just a few days. Set in a popular retail store in his hometown of Titusville and filmed by Shot By Oz, the music video features NFL Rekko flexing cash and rapping directly to fans. Using versatile bars and a delivery that pulls listeners in, the video is pure NFL Rekko - authentic, honest, and entertaining.
With new singles being released weekly, NFL Rekko is a fan favorite ruling the scene. As he says, “NFL Rekko stands for Never Forget Loyalty because loyalty is priceless, no matter the sacrifices.”

RSN’L (pronounced “Arsenal”) is a Christian hip-hop artist armed with a sharp lyrical pen guided by the word of God. His music not only shares the message of God’s Word but combines it with creative punchlines, high energy and an authentic dedication to creating songs that resonate with the listener. His latest single, “TILL I SEE JESUS,” which features producer OnBeatMusic, finds him discussing the persecution he’s faced in his faith walk and how he won’t let anything stop him.
The track “TILL I SEE JESUS” is one that came from commitment. Written around 2AM, it’s a song that was born once RSN’L entered a flow state during the creative process. The words came pouring out of him and by 11AM, he was headed to the booth to record them. A natural process like this is commonplace as no song is created by forcing it, compromising or anything of the sort.
“I’m not going to stop and I’m not going to quit. I’m pouring everything into this and it's setting me free. There’s nothing in the way of me doing this because as I continue, obstacles are moving out of my way. I’m doing my part by doing what God called me to do which is to teach and encourage people through truth. Everything I write can be tied into truth or scripture.” he said.
The biblical references throughout “TILL I SEE JESUS” are surrounded by ever evolving production from OnBeatMusic that creates an atmosphere of triumph and confidence. His flow switches throughout the song keep the energy at a high level and showcase his namesake excellently. The name “RSN’L” represents how every verse he spits is a weapon in the arsenal of faith, and each song is aimed at the hearts of listeners who need transformation more than entertainment.
RSN’L makes music for the mind and culture of Christ. He’s not making music to make money nor is he interested in creating a fame centric fanbase. He was called to do something that is not widely accepted and he is okay with that. He knows God has equipped him with the tools and the gifts to share His message and it will reach those it is supposed to.
“Regardless of what people think, I’m the one who has to have my heart and motives right because it is not my intent to try to capitalize off of the Gospel or even use the talents I have for my own glorification.” he said.
RSN’L loves that he can use music to share God’s Word because music itself works both sides of the brain at the same time and creates neuropassages. He also knows God created the world with His mouth by speaking and that shows that words have power, a voice has power and what we say creates. By making music based on the will of God and using the talents God has given him to share the message through the music, he is impacting people directly.
“The heart is our minds, the will and the emotion. Music can impact a person so heavily that it steers their future. So when they listen to God’s Word through my music, they’re submitting themselves to the truth within it.” he said.
RSN’L’s full story is a living breathing testimony to how God’s power is truly life changing. From his days growing up in Englewood on the South Side of Chicago to enlisting in the military and to now being a father and husband, his journey is one of faith and persistence. He continues to share God’s word through ministry and music.
“TILL I SEE JESUS” feat. OnBeatMusic is available on streaming services now.
