Cots Listo

Cots Listo (born Iddrisu Luku Listowel) is a versatile artist from Takoradi, Ghana. His name, “Cots,” stands for Careful On The Streets, a reflection of his outlook and authenticity.

Inspired by artists like Joey B, Pappy Kojo, Nasty C, and Roddy Ricch, Cots Listo developed a style that blends hip-hop, melodic rap, and afrobeat, earning him the nickname “ListoRicch.” His journey began in 2016, sharing early songs with friends via Bluetooth, before releasing his debut single “Scoobies Gang” featuring Merriment in 2017. He gained attention with tracks like “Never For That” and broke through in 2019 with “Been Calling.” His song “School Boy” further expanded his reach, especially among students.

Cots Listo enjoys basketball and cinematography, though he lives a quiet, antisocial lifestyle outside of his art. Through his music and quotes like “Expect the unexpected” and “This be pain, this be vibe,” he continues to connect with fans who find both inspiration and relatability in his work.
