Henoc Pierrick Bofenda, better known by his stage name Leto, is a French rapper and part of the duo PSO Thug, a French hip-hop duo from the 17th arrondissement of Paris. PSO part refers to their origin as they come from Porte de Saint-Ouen (aka PSO) and are made up of Leto alongside Aéro. In 2014, they started with "Hors la loi". In February 2015, they published the precursor to their mixtape, entitled En attendant Demoniak.[1] The duo released their first mixtape, named Demoniak, on May 20, 2016, and sold 1,319 copies in its first week of release.[2]
Signed with Rec. 118, an affiliation of Warner Music France, Leto has pursued, besides his collaboration with Aero in PSO Thug, his solo career by releasing two separate mixtapes, Trap$tar and Trap$tar 2, in 2018 and 2019, respectively. Trap$tar 2 is a collaboration with Ninho in "Tes parents", giving him a charting hit in the Top 20 in France.[3] In 2020, he released his EP Virus as an "avant-album" in preparation for a major release scheduled later this year[4] with "Train de vie" featuring rapper PLK, reaching as high as #11 on the French charts. He is collaborating with Cheu-B, part of group XVBarbar, now known since 2019 as XV.
