Cairo Snow FPTO - FPTO (Official Music Video) | Hip-Hop Banger 2025

Toronto, Ontario – At just 12 years old, Cairo Snow is redefining what it means to be a prodigy in the music world. Hailing from Brampton, this Jamaican-Canadian artist, lyricist, and performer has been crafting music since the age of five, amassing over 100 unreleased tracks in his vault alongside an explosive debut of his first two singles. Cairo is not just another kid in the industry; he’s a passionate artist on a mission to create music that resonates with audiences everywhere.

Cairo is back with his new single, “I SHOULD’VE KNOWN,” which dropped on March 14. This heartfelt track serves as a raw tribute to his uncle, who passed away due to addiction, showcasing a depth beyond his years. Produced by industry heavyweight B3 of B3 Studios (known for his work with stars like Drake and Sony Music Italy), “I SHOULD’VE KNOWN” is already making waves, achieving over 20,000 streams in its first month and being added to 16 editorial playlists. The track promises to amplify Cairo’s meteoric rise, with a music video set to drop soon.

Cairo’s music, shaped by B3, hits with the polish of a seasoned artist. In contrast to “I SHOULD’VE KNOWN,” high-energy tracks like “FPTO” showcase his razor-sharp flow and crossover appeal. The latter made history in January by earning acclaim for its polished production and wise-beyond-his-years storytelling, solidifying his place as one of the youngest artists in the global music scene.

Cairo’s rapid rise on platforms like Rapfame speaks volumes about his talent and dedication, including:
– Over 44.6K plays in just 10 weeks
– 7 contest wins and Pick of the Week honors
– 12 featured tracks, with “Echoes” (5.1K plays) and “CrossRoads” (3K+ plays) becoming instant fan favorites
– Charted for over 61 days, with multiple Top 10 placements.

In an exciting development for Cairo’s career, he has caught the attention of industry heavyweight MTStreets, known for his work with Dua Lipa, Lil Baby, and other top artists, who will become his mentor. They’ve already collaborated on a song, with more projects in the pipeline. MTStreets, recognized for his introspective songwriting and raw vocal style, rose to prominence in 2020 with his debut single “White Roses” and album “Open Thoughts.” His hit single “Highway To Hell” is RIAA certified gold and peaked at #19 on the Billboard Top 100 for Pop/R&B singles.
