Letoa Drops Debut Album GLOCSTARR 2 and "RAGE QUIT" Is the One to Watch
A rule-breaking debut built on pure energy, creative contrast, and an uncompromising black-and-white vision. Tāmaki Makaurau's emerging force has arrived.
Tāmaki Makaurau. Letoa's long-awaited debut album GLOCSTARR 2 is out now, arriving alongside focus track "RAGE QUIT" featuring Lames, and a creative statement that makes clear this is not just a music release. It is a manifesto.
The album is intentionally non-cohesive sonically. GLOCSTARR 2 moves across subgenres without settling, anchored not by sound but by a strict black-and-white visual identity that runs through every aspect of the project. Colour is not seen here. It is imagined. Each track offers its own sonic world, and the audience builds the emotional landscape themselves as they move through it.
Leading the release is "RAGE QUIT", a collaboration with Lames, a longtime friend and creative partner from the aesthetic rap era both artists helped pioneer. Inspired by Memphis phonk and trap, the track runs on punchy drums, infectious bounce, and relentless momentum. No dark detours. Just pure adrenaline. Letoa delivers one of his most dynamic performances to date, switching between an infectious hook and an unconventional flow that keeps the record constantly evolving. Alongside him, Lames brings the calm, laid-back monotone that has become his signature. The contrast between the two is exactly the point.
"This project breaks a lot of rules based on what an album should be. There's a bit of everything in there so I think whichever subgenre of hip-hop the listener is more into, they'll find a song that speaks to them." Letoa
A black-and-white music video for "RAGE QUIT" follows in the coming weeks, consistent with the visual language that defines the project. The rollout has been deliberate. The vision is clear. With this album, Letoa positions himself not just as a musician but as a multidisciplinary artist building something bigger. GLOCSTARR 2 is not an arrival, it is an opening statement.
The album is out now on all streaming platforms. Watch for the music video and whatever comes next.
