Leto
High-octane French trap defined by relentless triplet flows and heavy 808s. Aggressive yet melodic street anthems for late-night drives and high-energy city living.

Leto represents the sharp, metallic edge of modern French trap. His sound is built on a foundation of rattling hi-hats and distorted low-end that feels engineered for high-end car speakers. There is a restless energy in his delivery, often switching between rapid-fire technical verses and melodic, autotune-heavy hooks that capture the frantic pace of Parisian street life.
What sets him apart is the specific nasal quality of his voice and his mastery of the 'double bang' flow. He manages to sound both menacing and celebratory, blending the grit of his Porte de Saint-Ouen roots with a polished, chart-ready production style. His music doesn't just sit in the background; it demands physical space through sheer sonic density.
Start with '100 Visages' to hear him at his most versatile, or dive into the 'TRAP$TAR' series for pure, unadulterated energy. It is the perfect soundtrack for moments that require a boost of confidence or a cinematic backdrop for urban exploration.
Henoc Pierrick Bofenda, better known by his stage name Leto, is a French rapper and part of the duo PSO Thug, a French hip-hop duo from the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
