From the small northern town of Ontario, a new name is quickly rising to the forefront of Canadian hip-hop. That name is occXpied. At just 23 years old, the rapper has already built the kind of momentum that suggests he’s not only one to watch—he’s on track to become the biggest rapper out of Canada.
Growing up in a small town didn’t stop occXpied from developing big ambitions. His early passion for music pushed him to write, record, and create consistently, leading him to build a vault of thousands of tracks. His work ethic and drive quickly separated him from others in his region, giving him the reputation of being one of the hardest-working young rappers in the country.
OccXpied’s breakout moment came with the release of his hit single “SAVE IT”, a collaboration with Bulgarian producer Chill Pill. The track exploded on Instagram Reels, generating over 1.5 million views and building a wave of organic buzz around his name. It’s clear that occXpied has found a formula that resonates with listeners worldwide.
In May 2024, occXpied had the opportunity to share the stage with legendary acts D12 in Sault Ste. Marie. His live debut was more than just a performance—it was a statement that he’s ready for the big stage. Greeting fans personally at the door before the show, he demonstrated the humility and community spirit that makes people connect with him beyond the music.
OccXpied isn’t only building a career as an artist—he’s laying the foundation for an empire. He has launched ventures like OCCXPIED LTD, Sound Elevation Magazine, DILXIO Management, and Dyluxe Marketing, creating platforms that help other artists achieve success. Recently, he even partnered with DJ Disspare to launch a $5K/month Artist Acceleration Suite, showing that he’s as much a businessman as he is a musician.
What sets occXpied apart is the combination of raw talent, relentless work ethic, and entrepreneurial vision. He has the viral records, the live experience, and the business savvy to build a lasting legacy. As major labels and industry leaders begin to take notice, it feels less like a question of if he’ll blow up—and more like when.
OccXpied’s journey from Wawa, Ontario to the national stage is proof that greatness can come from anywhere. With millions of streams, powerful live performances, and a growing business presence, he’s carving out his lane as Canada’s next major rap star. If his current trajectory is any indication, the world should get ready—because occXpied is about to take over.
