Early Life and Education

Lucas Lautaro Helou was born on March 8, 1995, in Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina, to Mr and Mrs Helou, whose first names are not publicly disclosed. No information is available about his siblings.

Growing up in a working-class family, he was introduced to hip-hop through his father, who recorded a cassette of Puerto Rican rapper Vico C’s “Aquel Que Había Muerto,” sparking his passion for rap.

Kodigo’s education details are sparse, but he began freestyling at 14, focusing on music over formal studies, which led to conflicts with his father and ultimately led to his decision to leave home to pursue a rap career. His ethnicity is Argentine, and his religious beliefs are not publicly known.

Career

Kodigo began his career in 2009 at age 14, competing in Rosario’s freestyle scene. His first recorded freestyle, “Kodigo Se Presenta,” showcased his early vision for Argentine hip-hop.

He won the Sótano de Rosario in 2009, defeating Ice in the final, and reached the semifinals of Buenos Aires’ Oriyinala, where he debuted his signature double-tempo style against Rabeat.

In 2010, he won the Convención de Hip-Hop Montegrande and Oriyinala’s national title, defeating Cober, but placed second in the A Cara de Perro Zoo National Championship against Tata after a viral battle.

In 2011, he claimed the A Cara de Perro Zoo title, defeating Sony, and won Rosario’s Freestyle Massacre, solidifying his reputation as a freestyle prodigy. In 2012, Kodigo joined Sudamétrica, refining his flow and double-tempo technique, and began focusing on exhibitions and workshops across Argentina.

By 2014, he co-founded Equipo Crema, a pioneering Argentine trap group, releasing the mixtape Worldwide (2015), which featured over 70 songs across six projects, helping to shape the sound of Argentine trap.

In 2015, he stepped back from competitive freestyle, citing a toxic environment, to focus on music. His 2016 Equipo Crema project, Korean Luv Boyz, further defined the genre.

Kodigo launched his solo career in 2017, founding Golden Era Records and releasing hits like “Up Remix” with DrefQuila, “India,” and “Lambo.” His debut solo album, From the Top of the World (2017), featured singles such as “Química” and “Sale el Sol” with Paulo Londra, which he performed live at the Niceto Club in Buenos Aires.

In 2018, tracks like “Kriptonita” with Eso. Xo. Supreme and “Completa Remix” with Arcángel reached top charts, with “Otra Noche” hitting number 16 on Argentine YouTube trends. His 2019 Bizarrap Freestyle Session #1 and BZRP Music Sessions Vol. 06 went viral, while 2020 saw singles like “Makin Dope” and “Pantera” with Bizarrap.

In 2024, Kodigo made a triumphant return to freestyle with Urban Roosters’ FMS World Series, winning Onlychamps and FMS Caribe, defeating Jota in the final.

His 2025 releases, including “No Le Bajamos” with Papo and “To Se Jodio,” have kept him relevant, with performances at Lollapalooza Argentina and tours across Uruguay and Chile. His collaborations with Milo, Lit Killah, and Los Caligaris, as well as his role as a freestyle judge, highlight his versatility and influence in Latin urban music.
