Ten K is a versatile and independent rapper whose emotionally charged sound and vivid storytelling have begun to cut through the noise of the underground rap scene. Hailing from the small town of Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, Brad Lavoie—known artistically as Ten K—started his career from the ground up, building his catalog and brand without major-label backing. His 2023 debut single “Up Now!” marked the beginning of his rise, but it was “The Come Up” in 2024 that solidified his breakout moment, gaining over 2,000 streams on Spotify alone.
Ten K’s early career has been defined by steady output and a raw, reflective style. Tracks like “Locked In,” “Lucid Dreaming,” and “Fuck Opps” deliver gritty confidence, while deeper cuts like “I’m Lost” and “If I Could Escape” showcase his ability to channel pain, ambition, and introspection in equal measure. His 2025 debut EP, G10k NINES, expanded his artistic range with standout tracks like “Posted Up” and “9 Lives.” That same year, he followed up with the single “Megan Fox,” continuing to prove his consistency and hunger for growth.
Raised in West Nipissing and attending both White Woods Public School and Northern Secondary School, Brad moved often within his hometown, gaining different perspectives while holding on to close friendships. That duality—stability and change—seeps into his lyrics and visuals, with his branding often leaning into moody tones and symbolic imagery.
With over 20 songs released across just three years, Ten K blends modern trap, melodic rap, and introspective vibes into a unique voice that resonates with fans of artists like NF, Lil Tjay, and Polo G. While still unsigned, Ten K continues to push forward with every release, shaping a career built on authenticity, resilience, and self-made energy. As he expands his catalog and visual presence, Ten K stands poised to make the leap from local standout to a broader spotlight.
