It seems as though the more time that passes, the more “flawless” LUCKI gets. While it’s been nearly a decade since the Chicago-bred rapper first graced the mic with 'Alternative Trap,' his long-awaited album, 'Flawless Like Me,' will see him move past his “underground king” status and fully evolve into the superstar he’s always been.
Following high-profile collaborations with Cole Bennett, Lyrical Lemonade and Internet Money last month, it’s no “Coincidence” that backpack LUCKI is experiencing his moment at the right time — becoming a newfound hip-hop icon at the precipice of his mainstream ascent. Although he’s teased 'FLM' for the better part of three years, everything is lining up perfectly for LUCKI as he eyes his next album. “It’s perfect timing,” he said of 'FLM’s' imminent release. “When it was supposed to come out, I was still flawless, but I only had like $10K. Now it's like, everything just makes sense.”
Becoming more flawless by the day, LUCKI sat back down with OGM host Hakeem Rowe for the second time in two years, calling the rising rapper his “favorite person” as they spoke on Cole Bennett, 'FLM,' “Coincidence,” fame, Future, Face and much more in our latest Our Generation Music exclusive.

-
never seen Lucki smile so much in an interview. Mans in sitting up right and everything. Love to see it
-
Lucki went from a dudes music which was an acquired taste and not really the type to play around others lol to a huge star everybody listens to now. Crazy , I’ve been here since 2013 so I’m beyond happy for his recognition, it’s long over due
-
Lucki isn’t just an artist, he’s a cultural reset, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world filled with thieves. He’s art, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted, everything you need.
-
Lucki and Brentrambo interviews back 2 back is amazing
-
I hate how our affection or cope with drugs tied us to this man music but he is the only person I can listen to sober. Even when you feel alone or like you need to get out of some rough stuff the guy music is the perfect background noise.
-
finally getting everything he’s deserved. this next album on the 23rd is gonna be the one, i can feel it
-
When you’ve been listening to Lucki since 2015 and he just now blew up
-
lucki's music is euphoric
-
lucki breath loud as hell bro
-
I'm happy for LUCKI moves, he got his own vibe but he still humble, cool. respect this, appreciate him.
-
I love that Hakeem asks questions like "what kinda beats you like?" cos almost nobody asks those kinda questions but that's exactly the kinda shit that real rap nerds love to geek about 😎
-
I remember high school listening to Watch My Back in 2017 Now seeing lucki blow up is crazy. he really deserves it , helped me get thru stuff. 🧟♂️
-
“I’m not jumpin around for nobody” 😭😭
-
"i'm preventin' coughs till my luck's up", Lucki smiling is contagious mannnn
-
it’s cool to see Lucki in this light, he usually seemed reserved with other interviewers, but he’s way more open in this one with Hakeem, definitely need another one in the future
-
lucky breathing heavy 🥺🥺🥺
-
I’m so happy he commented on memes about him performing, Lucki is genuinely the best performer I’ve seen. He really raps his shit, and the energy in the crowd is crazy. Not once did I give a fuck that Lucki wasn’t jumping up n down and shit lol.
