ABOUT US

Established in the vibrant and diverse streets of New York City in 2018, LockettDownRecords was founded by partners Lester Lockett, the namesake, and Matthew Ozoria, the latter one of the artists by the stage name of Kiture. Their journey began when Lester met Matthew at a recording session, sparking a dynamic business partnership.  In the same year, Lester crossed paths with the artist Breez Tha God, who lived upstairs from him and officially joined the label in 2018. Around that time, Matt encountered Jems at an uptown Manhattan recording session, and in 2021, she became LockettDown family. Skotto soon joined the group in 2021 after a family friend recommended he attend one of their sessions. The roster has collaborated with various artist and producers during this time, including Vince Serrano, Gonhills, Medii and many others. Above all, though, Lester and Matthew emphasize the power of family, accountability, and pushing one another to be great. Matthew’s longtime friend and producer Macrohard officially joined the label in 2023, expanding the roster and setting the stage for even more creative brilliance. LockettDownRecords isn't just about music; it's about a journey, a shared passion, and the relentless pursuit of artistic excellence. Join us as we continue to push the boundaries of urban music and create a soundtrack that defines our generation. The journey has only just begun, and the rhythm of LockettDownRecords beats stronger than ever.
