Loto

**Loto** is a French rapper and hip-hop artist known for his gritty lyricism and deep connection to Marseille's street culture. Emerging in the late '90s as part of the influential group 3ème Œil, he carved a niche with his raw storytelling and socially conscious themes, blending boom-bap beats with Mediterranean flavors. Over the years, Loto’s solo work—like the punchy *Freestyle Arte* and the defiant *Tout le monde déteste Loto*—keeps him rooted in hip-hop’s rebellious spirit while nodding to global influences (see the transatlantic vibes of *Detroit 2 Paris*). Tracks like *Camo Life* and *Hustle & Respec vol 1* highlight his unapologetic hustle and respect for the game, cementing his status as a lifer in France’s rap scene.
