Tempted
A pop record with a pull you can't shake — the newest chapter of the Trench Pop sound.
New Orleans, Louisiana
The Pioneer of Trench Pop
Independent recording artist, songwriter, and producer — and the pioneer of Trench Pop, blending hip-hop, pop, R&B, and alternative influences into a distinctive, melodic sound. From the Westbank of New Orleans to stages across the country.
“I'm not a rapper. I'm a pop star!”

Upcoming Albums
Both albums are upcoming projects — neither has been released yet. Two sides of the same artistry: the melodic rap he started with and the pop sound heard on the singles out now, “Tempted” and “Raining in Miami.”
An upcoming pop album built on a decade-spanning ear — the sound of the 1980s through the 2010s, filtered through his own voice, his own story, and the melodic instincts he started with. This is LaCro$$e's evolution on his own terms: a full pop identity, grown out of everything he has made before it. Hear that direction on the singles out now, “Tempted” and “Raining in Miami.”
The melodic rap sound he started with — the sound he was making in 2019 during his Cash Money era, for the day-one fans so they know he never switched on them.
Artwork shown is a placeholder — official artwork to come.

About
LaCro$$e is an independent recording artist, songwriter, and producer from New Orleans, Louisiana, with roots on the Westbank, in Marrero. He is the pioneer of Trench Pop — a sound that blends hip-hop, pop, R&B, and alternative influences into something distinctly melodic and entirely his own. As he puts it: “I'm not a rapper. I'm a pop star!”
A rising name in his city since the age of 15, LaCro$$e came up through the Baton Rouge / New Orleans label BBG and recorded with JayDaYoungan while still in high school, before signing with Cash Money Records and Republic Records in 2019. He remained with the labels through 2023, then moved into his independent career under his own company, Young Fly Rich Nation LLC, with the team around him.
Fully independent since 2023, LaCro$$e releases his music through his own company, Young Fly Rich Nation LLC. His catalog moves between the melodic rap he started with and the pop sound he has grown into — two sides of the same artistry, always rooted in New Orleans. His singles “Our Truth,” “Raining in Miami” (feat. Geauxmozzi), and “Tempted” are out now.
On stage, he has opened sold-out amphitheater shows for Rick Ross and Waka Flocka in Decatur, Illinois, and co-opened — alongside Fletchy 2 Fat — for Mike Jones and Ying Yang Twins in New Haven, Kentucky. His performances have taken him from The Ritz Ybor in Tampa to Super Bowl week in Las Vegas, and into the boxing ring, where he has performed multiple professional boxing walkouts for Sheldon “Mr.504” Vallotton. On December 12 in Baton Rouge, he will perform his original walkout song, “Cold Case.”
Young Fly Rich Nation LLC is LaCro$$e's independently owned music company — founded and owned by the artist, who serves as its Founder & CEO — supporting his current releases, creative projects, and long-term artistic vision. Built from the ground up in New Orleans. A dedicated Young Fly Rich Nation company site is planned for the future.
