Meet Leblanc, a rising rap and hip hop artist from Orlando who is determined to leave his mark on the industry. You can find him on Instagram at @gmu_leblanc, where he is building his presence one post, one song, and one moment at a time.
Finding His Voice
Leblanc’s love for music started back in high school. At first, it was just a way to pass the time with his best friend Saleem. But when they came home from school one day and decided to try making their own tracks, something clicked. He realized he had real talent. That moment lit a spark that has not gone out since.
The true push came when Leblanc heard Lil Wayne’s “She Will” at 14. The song sent him down a rabbit hole of Wayne’s music, teaching him how deep rap could really go through cadence, metaphors, and storytelling. It was that realization that made him fall in love with the art of rapping.
A Journey Full of Setbacks and Comebacks
Like many artists, Leblanc’s journey has not been a straight line. He started taking music seriously around five years ago, but health problems forced him to step away. Instead of letting that stop him, he used the time to refocus. In July 2025, he made a big decision. He invested in himself, buying a brand new setup with a laptop, microphone, and everything he needed to create at the highest level. Now, he is fully locked in with no distractions, ready to dedicate every free moment to his craft.
Style, Influences, and Vision
When it comes to sound, Leblanc is pure rap and hip hop, but his creativity does not stop there. He enjoys experimenting with piano and keyboard, often stumbling on melodies that he sens to his producer to help shape into full tracks.
His influences run deep, led by A$AP Rocky who he calls his biggest inspiration, followed by Lil Wayne, Tyler the Creator, Ye, and Billie Eilish. From them, Leblanc learned the importance of originality, energy, and pushing the boundaries of what music can sound like. Billie in particular showed him how vulnerability and unique artistry can connect deeply with listeners on a global scale.
Building His Catalog
So far, Leblanc has dropped several singles, each one showing more growth and sharpening his sound. But now, he is ready for a bigger step. His debut album is set to drop this September. For him, it is more than just a project. It is a statement that he is here to stay.
Memorable Moments and What’s Next
For Leblanc, one of the wildest parts of his journey has been seeing real artists he grew up listening to reach out and show love to his music. “It is insane to me,” he says, describing how surreal it feels to get recognition from people he respects.
As for the future, he is always working. New projects, new songs, new ideas. He does not plan on slowing down. The upcoming album is just the beginning of what promises to be a long, impactful career.
Leblanc’s story is one of passion, resilience, and dedication. He is an artist who has turned setbacks into motivation, and with his eyes fixed on the bigger picture, it is clear that Orlando has a new name to watch in rap and hip hop.
