According to Lil Tecca, he began rapping with his friends on his mic on Xbox at the early age of nine. This was the time that he slowly started developing interest in the field of music and rapping. Initially he didn’t think of building a career in music and wanted a career in the NBA. However, during his mid-school years, he began to lose interest in basketball and decided to focus on music instead. ‘Tectri’, a track that he made by collaborating with a friend named Lil Gummybear, was released in early 2017. It was the first track of his to earn some popularity among listeners. Soon, he made other tracks like ‘Callin’, ‘My Time’ and ‘Rags to Riches’.

He became even more popular after the release of his first single ‘Ransom’ on 22nd May 2019. It was initially released independently, though later it was released through Republic Records and Galactic Records. Its music video was released the same day.

It also reached the top ten charts in various countries, including Australia, Finland, Sweden and UK. A remix was also made and released on his SoundCloud account as well as other platforms after nearly three months of its original release.
