STARTED was heralded in recent weeks with the release of a number of new tracks, among them "2 Sum," "Sandbox," and "Mission," all available now for individual streaming and download. "Sandbox" and "Mission" are also accompanied by new companion videos, accessible now via RecoHavoc's official YouTube channel. He also kicked off 2018 with the hit track "Flexx," available now for individual streaming and download. The track is also accompanied by its own companion visual.

In a recent interview RecoHavoc further expanded on the meaning behind his debut mixtape's title. "After I lost my mom and dad I stopped fing with drugs. I was like, 'It's lit now. I'm started.' The word 'Started' means a lot to me. You can't move anything if it's not started. You can't play a game if you don't press start. You can't go forward, if you don't start. It's started now."

"RecoHavoc's sound is exciting and fresh. I love to be a part of new movements, especially someone like Reco coming from my hometown!" adds DJ Drama.

Known for turning intense hardships into hard-hitting and hypnotic hip-hop, RecoHavoc has fast emerged as the next star in a long line of Philadelphia-based rap icons that includes such superstars as Meek Mill and Lil Uzi Vert. A member of Southwest Philadelphia's YNW (Young N Wealthy) collective, the 21-year-old rapper has unleashed a string of viral tracks, including the breakout single "Lucas." The track was joined by a companion visual that has earned over 2.3 million individual views to date.

Already regarded as a top-level live performer, RecoHavoc has spent recent months sharing stages with a wide range of hip-hop superstars, including Travis Scott, Cardi B, Meek Mill, and Rick Ross, the latter inviting the rising rapper to serve as special guest on his blockbuster "Rather You Than Me Tour."

Born and raised one of nine siblings in Southwest Philadelphia, RecoHavoc turned intense hardships into hard-hitting and hypnotic hip-hop. Experiencing events that would break the best of us, the 21-year-old rapper emerged as the next in a long line of Philly rap champs. Within the span of two years, he generated millions of YouTube views, packed shows, led the YNW (Young N Wealthy) movement to national prominence and earned props from the likes of Lil Uzi Vert and PnB Rock. All of this plus his undeniable energy and stage presence landed him a major label deal with Atlantic Records.

A string of viral tracks such as "Zero Dark 30" paved the way for the breakout single "Lucas." Beyond showcasing the MC's bulletproof bars and unshakable flow, the visual highlighted RecoHavoc's head-spinning dance abilities and swiftly clocked over 2.2 million views. Not long after, he shared the stage with Travis Scott, Cardi B, Rick Ross, and more at Power 105.1's Powerhouse 2017.

Maintaining this momentum, he ignited 2018 with the single "Flexx," which steamrolled ahead on the strength of quick-witted wordplay and an infectious hook. The song laid the foundation for newly released mixtape, STARTED.
