From the sun-soaked streets of Mercedes, Texas, emerges a voice built on hunger, hustle, and heart—meet Sonniie, a Latin-rooted artist who’s been perfecting his craft in the underground trenches for over a decade. With 12 years in the game and a soul that bleeds bars, Sonniie brings a sound that fuses trap, rap, hip-hop, and Latino flavor, cooked up into a style that’s uniquely his.
His first step into the booth birthed the One Man Army Mixtape, an early sign that he was destined to walk alone if he had to—but never without purpose. Inspired by none other than Lil Wayne, Sonniie doesn’t just admire the GOAT’s lyrical ability; he embodies that same relentless drive and creativity. That’s the dream collab, no question. In fact, it’s not hard to picture Sonniie on tour with Weezy, trading bars city to city, setting stages on fire.
Despite having no major features yet, Sonniie is far from unnoticed. He’s rocked crowds of over 5,000—like the time he shut it down during Spring Break—and his loyal support system, mainly his family, continues to hold him down as he levels up. Fully independent and fully self-made, Sonniie writes his own lyrics and even develops his own video concepts, showcasing his all-around artistry.
Produced by the team at Beautiful Monsters, his music hits with intensity and introspection, and his latest drop “Lock In” proves that Sonniie isn’t here to play—he’s here to dominate. With new music videos in the works and another single dropping this week, he’s not waiting on a label. He’s building his own empire.
Where does he want to perform? Everywhere.
Where does he see himself in five years? On top.
