Biography

A name on the rise in Cameroon’s rap scene

Some voices arrive without warning, and within months they feel like they were always meant to be there. LiFkA is one of them. On the Cameroonian rap scene — affectionately known here as “the 237” — his name started circulating in 2024, carried by a sharp flow, hard-hitting lyrics, and an energy that owes as much to trap as it does to the Afro sounds pulsing through Douala, Yaoundé, and beyond.

Let’s be honest with you: on LiFkA’s childhood, on his very first steps before the spotlight, public documentation is still thin. What we do know is that he grew up and shaped his artistic identity in Cameroon, a country where rap has established itself since the 2010s as a language of urban youth, blending Pidgin, French, and Camfranglais. Some sources point to origins in the Northern Region of the country — a lead we haven’t been able to independently confirm, and which we’re therefore presenting with caution rather than as an established fact.

The early days: stepping into the light in 2024

It was in 2024 that the name LiFkA truly began to spread beyond insider circles. He released several singles that laid the groundwork for his sound: “Hoha” in August, then “SHOUANG 3X” in late September, and finally “DANGEREUX” in December — three tracks that achieved significant success on streaming platforms and firmly planted his name in conversations. That same year, he joined a notable collective freestyle, “Welcome to Yaoundegeles,” alongside other figures of the Cameroonian scene such as AZ Prn, Willy Wallas, CAMZER, EAP, PHIDO, and Sly52 — a way of positioning himself, from the start, within a generation rather than just a solo career. He also released a joint EP, KATEMA, with Wimeikit, the label and collective that would become his closest creative partner.

The breakthrough: CIMFEST recognition

The real turning point came in November 2024, when LiFkA was crowned Revelation of the Year at the CIMFEST Awards — one of the country’s most closely watched music events, held under the auspices of Cameroon’s Ministry of Arts and Culture, where the public itself chooses the winners. For an artist who had only publicly emerged a few months earlier, this recognition carries weight: it means Cameroon heard this voice, and intends to keep listening.

A career taking shape

2025 became the year of confirmation. In February, LiFkA released his debut album, Kamikaz, an eight-track project backed by Wimeikit and Rue Joss, featuring “DANGEREUX” alongside tracks like “Bon Camer,” “Simpalaforce,” and “5 Minutes.” The album refines a recognizable sonic signature: direct, no-frills rap, where punchlines land hard over productions that borrow as much from trap as from Afro rhythms.

The rest of the year kept the momentum going: “La Prière du Babana” in May, an acoustic remix of “Bon Camer” with WIZDOM OG in July, “EPHUTRE” in August, “121025” in September. LiFkA also multiplied his featured appearances, weaving himself into the fabric of the Cameroonian rap ecosystem — on Black Coco’s “BANDIT,” on I.TIGA’s “Fait Pour Ça,” on Lucasdu237’s “Mougou.” In December 2025, he released the EP NNPP – Prélude, four tracks that hint at what’s next. And in January 2026, the single “Ye Wanda” extended a momentum that has now held steady for well over a year.

What stands out in this still-young trajectory is the consistency: LiFkA never lets the attention fade. Nearly every month brings a new track, a new collaboration, further proof that the 2024 Revelation title wasn’t a one-off spark, but the start of a trajectory.
