Signature colorful dreads flailing, ominous ink on display and superhero-sized charisma in plentiful supply, Lil Pump (born August 17, 2000) tore through hip-hop like a tornado, amassing over 2 billion audio and video streams and counting. Lil Pump’s breakout hit “Gucci Gang” is an RIAA triple-platinum smash that topped singles charts across North America and Europe, streaming to #2 on the US Spotify Chart and #12 on the Global Chart, while garnering over 857 million combined YouTube views for its climactic, larger-than-life video. “I Love It”, his collaboration with Kanye West, was #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, and is certified Double Platinum by the RIAA and has numerous Platinum certifications globally.

In 2022, Lil Pump looks to deliver to fans the highly anticipated album “Lil Pump 2.”  This currently features the singles “All The Sudden” and “1st Off.”  As a mythical character, Pump has always been able to sustain relevancy through the core audience he’s built up over the years. Anticipate a lot of big-name artists to be featured on “Lil Pump 2,” and expect him to continue touring the globe.

Talon Takeover will be streamed live on the team’s Twitch channel. The stream will begin at 2 p.m. ET on Friday, June 17.
