Atlanta has always been known for producing stars, and Glokksta, who goes by @glokkksta on Instagram, might be one of the next names to break out of the city. His energy online is the same energy he brings to his music, a vibe that’s impossible to ignore.
From Day One
Ask Glokksta when he started making music, and he’ll jokingly say, “Since I came out my mama coochie.” Music has always been a part of him, but he finally shared it with the world in 2021 with his first track Shiesty City, marking the real start of his journey.
Always Been a Part of Him
Growing up, he was the kid freestyling just for fun. Music came naturally to him, like breathing. He never had to force it; it was just who he was.
His Sound
When asked about his genre, Glokksta doesn’t list anything long or complicated. He calls it “Chevy music,” the kind of tracks you play while cruising through the city with the windows down. Simple, effective, and undeniably catchy. He also doesn’t mind joking about himself, calling himself a “professional triangle player,” showing he knows how to have fun with his art.
Who He Looks Up To
Glokksta draws inspiration from artists like Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne, and Kodak. You can hear their influence in his flow, but he puts his own twist on it, creating something distinctly his.
Just Having Fun
For him, the music industry isn’t stressful or complicated. It’s about enjoying the process, meeting new people, and making music that connects.
Waffles
In August, Glokksta released his tape Waffles, accompanied by two videos for Intro and Fax No Printer. The project gives listeners a first real look at his style and sets the stage for everything he has planned.
Memories That Stand Out
When asked about his favorite career moments, Glokksta laughs and says it’s when the cops are called during his public shoots. To him, it’s proof that he’s making noise and making an impact.
What’s Next
Glokksta is working on more music, but he’s keeping the details under wraps for now. He does have a fashion show planned for October, showing that he’s building more than just a music career — he’s creating a full presence.
Where He’s Headed
At the end of the day, Glokksta is focused on being himself. He isn’t trying to fit into anyone else’s box. By keeping it fun, real, and letting his music speak, Glokksta is positioning himself as one of Atlanta’s next breakout stars. His story is just getting started.
