Independent artist L100T continues to carve his lane in the Canadian hip hop scene, with his latest single “TRIUMPH” peaking at number 17 on the Canadian hip hop charts. The milestone marks another strong showing for the rising lyricist, who is proving that his growing momentum is far from accidental.
This is not L100T’s first time making noise on the charts. His previous releases, “I’m Just Tryna Breathe,” which reached number 9 on iTunes Canada, and “Tale of 2 Freestyle,” which climbed to number 11, already signalled that he was building something serious. With “TRIUMPH,” that trajectory continues upward, backed by what many listeners are calling one of his most personal and focused records to date.
At its core, “TRIUMPH” lives up to its name. The record dives deep into L100T’s upbringing, painting a raw picture of growing up in a household where every dollar had to stretch. Rather than leaning on surface-level motivation, the track delivers lived experience, reflecting on responsibility that came early and survival that came even earlier.
One of the standout moments arrives in his triple entendre:
“Male wasn’t present, never a post office in range, had to teach myself a lot, so I’m man-made.”
The line operates on multiple levels, touching on the absence of a father figure, the lack of support or “mail” within reach, and the reality of having no blueprint to follow. It is this layered writing style that continues to separate L100T from many of his peers and helps explain why his fanbase keeps growing.
That fanbase is becoming increasingly noticeable. While still operating independently, L100T appears to be building a tight-knit, almost cult-like following that resonates with his gritty storytelling and motivational undertones. Early listener reactions to “TRIUMPH” suggest the record is connecting deeply with audiences who relate to turning struggle into fuel.
The production, handled by GRiMM Doza, adds further weight to the release. Known for work with the late XXXTentacion, Dave East, Lucki, and others, GRiMM Doza provides a dark, focused backdrop that allows L100T’s lyrics to remain front and centre.
With multiple chart appearances now under his belt and momentum clearly building, L100T’s latest entry feels less like a breakthrough and more like the continuation of a steady climb. If the response to “TRIUMPH” is any indication, his cult following in Canada may be on the verge of becoming something much bigger.
