Marcus Edwards aka Lil Keke

2022 SUPER P&E

Rapper Lil’ Keke is an enduring figure in Houston’s legendary Screwed Up Click (SUC). For nearly 25 years, he’s “pimped the pen” with his inventive phrases and freestyle flow. Lil’ Keke sharpened his freestyle skills while rapping to tapes as he rode around Houston’s southside. He is known for working with Houston icon DJ Screw— the mastermind behind the “chopped and screwed” sound-- alongside Fat Pat and other members of the Screwed Up Click. Lil' Keke gained national attention with his track "Southside" from his 1997 release "Don't Mess Wit Texas". With over 25 projects under his belt, he is known for being a creative force in the music industry. He is more than just a rapper, but he is also a mogul. Born Marcus Edwards in Houston, Texas, the self-proclaimed “Captain of the Screwed Up Click” has made history in many ways. Outside of music, he has a love and passion for coaching the youth. His efforts with the youth led him to be personally recognized by President Barack Obama in 2018. Former Houston Mayor, Annise Parker proclaimed July 13th as Lil Keke's 713 Day in 2015. The honor was followed up by current Houston Mayor, Sylvester Turner in 2019. 713 Day is a staple for Houston, as it is Houston's first area code. Keke is also the CEO of SLF Made which is a clothing merchandise line that celebrates Houston Culture. His talents have led him to be the executive producer of various films that will be released in 2022. Keke recently released his highly anticipated project, LGND (Legend). The project features talent such as Slim Thug, ZRo, Sauce Walka, Juicy J, DJ Chose, and more. Fans can expect more music from Keke, tours, and one of the biggest 713 Days ever.
