The current headline act of Fortnite ’s dedicated rhythm game Festival is rapper Lil Tecca . “I’m always trying to get new fans and introduce people to what might be their new favourite artist, so this is a great opportunity [to do that],” he told NME recently . “I also want people that have already been listening to my music to see me, a fellow Fortnite player, in the game and it move them. I want to inspire [someone to become] the next Lil Tecca.”
