TLE Cinco

Hailing from Bessemer, Alabama, a town neighboring Birmingham, TLE Cinco brought a stripped-down but unflinching approach to his very first release, the smoothly flowing trap track "All the Money." That early effort led directly to a contract with 300 Entertainment, which put out his initial mixtape, 20Cinco, in 2019.

At the age of 19, TLE Cinco dropped his first single, "All the Money," during summer 2018. The buoyant, lighthearted number showcased an easygoing boast about burning through cash fast in order to make even more. WorldStarHipHop’s decision to share the video helped the track gain traction, prompting 300 Entertainment—home to Young Thug, Shy Glizzy, OMB Peezy, and numerous other well-known rappers—to sign him before 2018 ended. The label promptly re-released the song and followed with the 13-track mixtape 20Cinco in March 2019. That project included a remix of "All the Money" featuring a fresh verse from Detroit rapper Tee Grizzley, another 300 Entertainment artist. TLE Cinco returned in August of that year with the new single "Check Dis."
