Meet 318dman: The Lyrical Freestyler Putting Monroe, LA on the Map

Monroe, Louisiana continues to prove that talent lives far beyond the big-city music hubs—and rising artist 318dman is one of the latest to step forward from the 318 with raw skill, hunger, and a story built on consistency.

A natural-born freestyler, 318dman has been rhyming since the age of nine, sharpening his craft long before he ever stepped inside a studio. What started as a childhood talent has evolved into a promising career, especially after he made the decision to take music seriously just three years ago. That decision quickly paid off.

A Viral Breakthrough

318dman's momentum kicked off with his breakout single “Famous”, which climbed to nearly 60,000 streams—a major milestone for an independent artist coming out of a smaller market. The buzz didn't stop there. His follow-up releases and projects collectively brought in over 300,000 streams, proving that listeners are connecting with his voice, his freestyles, and his storytelling.

His music carries an authentic blend of Monroe grit, Louisiana flavor, and the clever wordplay that comes from years of freestyling off the dome. While many artists rely on trends, 318dman leans on pure skill—and it shows.

A Young Star with Strong Support

At just 22 years old, 318dman is also backed by solid management under Monroe Slimmie of TWT Music Group. With guidance, structure, and a team that believes in his potential, the rising artist is positioned for major growth.

Currently, he has two projects out, both showcasing his versatility, his lyrical ability, and the growth of an artist who’s finding his sound while staying true to his roots.

The Future Looks Bright for 318dman

As Louisiana continues to produce new waves of artists, 318dman stands out for his dedication, freestyle foundation, and undeniable work ethic. His journey proves that Monroe has stars of its own—and he’s determined to be one of the faces leading the next generation.

If he keeps applying pressure the way he has been, there’s no question that the world beyond Louisiana will soon know the name 318dman.

Stay tuned—this is just the beginning.
