He is best known for singles such as "6:30" (featuring NSG) and "New Money" (with French Montana and Ay Em) which charted on the UK Singles Chart and were certified by the BPI. [1]

Contents

Geko was signed to K Koke's U.S.G. at the early age of 13. [2] With them he made the EP Heartless and several singles, leaving them in 2014 to start his own label, OneTape Records. He released the EP Baba and several singles under his own label and in 2017 released his debut album LionHeart with Sony Music. His breakthrough to the mainstream came in 2018, after signing to 3 Beat Productions, with a series of successful singles including "6:30", "Will Smith", "New Money" and "Link Up", all of which charted on the UK Singles Chart. [1] In 2019 he released his first major album 22.

Early life

Geko is of Libyan and Algerian heritage. [3] He was excluded from school but still managed to finish seven GCSEs. [2] As his early music influences he lists 50 Cent, Eminem, Jadakiss, Styles P and K Koke, which he thought of as his mentor. [4]

Career

2010–2014, early career with USG

Geko began rapping at the age of 8; at 13, he signed to K Koke's UK music collective U.S.G., becoming their youngest member. [2] Under USG, he released the single "Mommy" featuring Jay Soul, [5] followed by the mixtape Voice Of The Future, [4] the EP Heartless and a single "Crazy Life" (now only available via SoundCloud) [6] which garnered him some underground following. [2] He was the youngest rapper to record a session for Charlie Sloth's Fire in the Booth on BBC Radio 1. [2] In 2014, at the age of 16, he left USG, a move which K Koke wasn't happy about, calling him a "snake" [7] and an "ungrateful little shit". [8]

2015–2017, independent releases, Baba and LionHeart

After leaving USG, Geko started his own label, OneTape Records. [2] [9] In October 2015, he released the EP Baba which he debuted in the O2 Academy Islington. [10] Following that, in 2016 Geko released several singles to digital platforms independently, starting with "Y", featuring Afro B, the video of which was shot in Cova da Moura, Portugal. [11] It was followed by "Make You Come", featuring Canadian singer RamRiddlz [12] and "Khalas" featuring Ard Adz. [13] In July, he performed in Wireless Festival. [9]

On 10 March 2017, Geko released his debut album LionHeart with Sony Music, although it was leaked earlier. [14] It was led by the single "Drunk on You", released on 10 February. [15] The album was described by Jon Caramanica of The New York Times as "sweet pop music with an international bent". [3] After releasing the album, Geko went on a The LionHeart Tour in England. [16] He went on to release multiple singles to digital platforms, including "Bipolar" with Sneakbo, [17] "Diamond" with Team Salute [18] and "Ronaldo", [19] in which he pays homage to Cristiano Ronaldo and compares Ronaldo's touch to his own. [20] In June, he was featured on NSG's "Yo Darlin'" [21] and he brought them up to perform it in Wireless Festival that July. [22] The single would later be certified Silver by the BPI in 2019 and Gold in 2022. [23] His last single for 2017 was "Lock The Door", which was described as "an afrobeats inspired groover, with hints of J Hus". [24]

2018–2019, mainstream breakthrough and 22

Geko started 2018 with "Likes That", his first release with 3 Beat Productions. [25] In April, he was featured with Afro B on Ay Em's "Come to Me". [26] However, his breakthrough to the mainstream came in May 2018 with "6:30" (featuring NSG), his first single to make the UK Singles Chart, peaking at number 56, [1] and later being certified silver in 2019 and gold in 2020 by the BPI. [23]

In September 2018, he was signed by 3 Beat Productions for exclusive worldwide publishing of all his songs and future EPs and records, after already being signed to them earlier for records. [27] The next single, "Will Smith" featuring Not3s, [28] barely made the UK chart, peaking at number 100, [1] but both "Will Smith" and "6:30" were featured in Capital XTRA's "Best Grime & UK Hip Hop Songs Of 2018". [29]

The first single of 2019, "Don Daddy", with a video shot in Paris, [30] did not make the UK chart but "New Money" that followed it, in collaboration with French Montana and Ay Em, [31] made it to number 49, Geko's highest peak. [1] To end 2019, Geko released two more collaborations, "Hey Mama", featuring Maleek Berry and Latifah, [32] and "Link Up", with Stefflon Don, Deno and Dappy, which samples Ja Rule and Ashanti's "Always on Time", [33] peaking at number 84 on the UK chart. [1] Lastly, in December 2019, Geko released his first major album 22, including the six singles from "6:30" to "Link Up" and an additional seven tracks, including "Literally", featuring Mr Eazi. [34] The album was described by GRM Daily's Jack Lynch as "mature and versatile". [35] "Bad & Boujie", a single by AJ which featured Geko, Ard Adz and Koomz, and also charted in the UK chart, [1] was nominated for the 17th Urban Music Awards in 2020. [36]

2020–present

After releasing 22, Geko announced he will go on The 22 Tour in 2020, [37] however, this tour was rescheduled due to COVID-19. [38] Geko released only two major singles in 2020, the afrobeat influenced "Tantrum" [39] and "Ride Or Die", a collaboration with Paigey Cakey. [40] He was also featured on several singles, including Jorday's "Closer Part II" [41] and "Plan Tonight" by Nafe Smallz, [42] but none of those singles charted. 2021 brought more singles including "Woi Oi", in collaboration with Ms Banks and BackRoad Gee, [43] "Jeepers Creepers" with Taze, [44] and "Drama", [45] as well as being featured by other artists such as KD Blockmoney's "No Calling", [46] but none of those singles have charted as well.

2022 saw little activity from Geko, with only two title widely released, "Problems" in January, another collaboration with Ard Adz, [47] and "Clio" in November with Shabizla. [48]

Personal life

Geko was a childhood friend of Salman Abedi, the assailant of the Manchester Arena bombing in May 2017. He said that when he heard about the bombing he wept. [49] Referring to the bomber he said "he's an idiot and he's dead". [24] Later in 2017, he falsely announced on Twitter that he had cancer. [50] Two years later he revealed that the tweet was made while on medication in a mental health unit. [51]

In 2019, he modeled for Napapijri at Scotts Menswear. [52]
