Another W for the Midwest.

Kansas City’s own Rory Fresco just inked a deal with Epic Records and took to Twitter to let everyone know a few moments ago. If you’ve been tuned into The Drive on Shade 45 or paying attention right here on FSD, then you’ve surely seen Rory’s name and heard his music by now. Haven’t? Shame on you for snoozing.

The 18-year-old artist/producer caught a lot of people’s ears after Soundcloud’s algorithm queued his single “Lowkey” as the next track after Kanye’s “Real Friends” first dropped. A million plus plays and a super crisp video later, Rory has found a home at Epic Records. Hey, don’t say that I didn’t warn you. I’ve said it once and i’ll say again — Rory’s just getting started. Much congrats!
