She’s one of the biggest emerging names right now in Hip-Hop, but don’t be fooled, Coi Leray’s success story has been years of hard work. Rapping since the age of 14, things have taken off quick for Boston-born Leray, a daughter of Rapper Benzino. Things took off quicky with her 2021 hit “No More Parties”, followed by “Blick Blick” on which she collaborated with Nicki Minaj. 2023 however has been Leray‘s big year, her Grandmaster Flash-sampling “Players” becoming a certified Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten smash and also a viral hit on TikTok.
Leray is prepping the release of her second studio disc, the self-titled “Coi“, to be released in Canada by Universal Music June 23, 2023. The album is boosted by the release of super-catchy new NSFW (though there is a clean version) single “My Body” which simples Lesley Gore‘s “It’s My Party” which doubles as a an empowering sex-positive anthem, and also a get-even track.
She performed for the first time ever in Canada last night in Montreal with a set at Festival Metro Metro, followed by a performance tonight in Toronto at Rebel! We are a huge fan of Leray and were so delighted to meet her! She is so absoultely sweet and energetic – just like imagined! Coi Leray is a real force and has all it takes to run this game.
Though you likely need little introduction to her music, here’s a refresher in case you needed a name to the tune!
