South Central native and rising talent AFN Peso is on the come-up as one of the West Coast’s hottest rappers.
Building on his well-respected reputation in the LA rap scene, Peso continues to solidify his presence in the new wave — garnering highly coveted co-signs to selling out his first-ever show in Los Angeles.
Off the back of his latest album New Heights, Peso has curated an ethereal West Coast sound all his own. The album is all about prosperity — and since the release of Back on Bullshit and The Real Thing — Peso has done just that, spitting with a refined presence that asserts growth and maturity stemming from his previous work.
Detailing his humble beginnings at his grandmother’s house, Peso speaks on the inner workings of his creative and business approach to music, further demonstrating his “lead by example mentality” in every regard. Well-spoken and down-to-earth, Peso is a true product of his environment — continuing to shine as an inspiring West Coast artist committed to “trusting the process.”
