From the heart of East Oakland, California, emerges Loonie2.5, a rapper whose music is as raw as his story. After seven years of honing his craft, he’s proving that his voice isn’t just about rhythm and rhyme—it’s about survival, growth, and transformation.
From Survival to Self-Expression
Loonie2.5’s journey into music is deeply personal. At just 17 years old, he was kicked out of his home, forcing him into survival mode. With the streets as his second home, he learned resilience the hard way. Instead of letting struggle break him, he turned it into fuel for his art.
“I really started to take music serious when I had nothing else,” he shares. “The streets raised me, but music gave me purpose.”
A Versatile Artist Born From Transitions
What makes Loonie2.5 stand out is his versatility. His music reflects the many transitions in his life—from pain and hardship to hope and ambition. Each track is a reflection of real experiences, layered with authenticity that listeners can connect to.
“I rap about my life, but also about what other people go through,” he says. “If my music can help somebody feel understood, then I’ve done my job.”
New Album: Turn Dirt To Gold
Loonie2.5’s latest release, Turn Dirt To Gold, is more than an album—it’s a statement. It’s about finding beauty in the struggle, turning hardships into lessons, and pain into progress. With a mix of sounds and styles, the project shows his range as an artist while staying rooted in his East Oakland grit.
“This album is for the people who struggle,” he explains. “I want them to feel like they’re not alone, like they can turn their dirt into gold too.”
The Voice of the Streets, The Sound of Growth
With a unique blend of raw lyricism, street influence, and emotional depth, Loonie2.5 is positioning himself as one of Oakland’s most authentic rising voices. His music isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about connection, truth, and transformation.
As he continues to grow, one thing is certain: Loonie2.5 is here to stay, and his story is just beginning.
