Lil Tecca accepted the SoundCloud Chart Topper Award 10/9 for his hit “Ransom” being the longest consecutive-charting #1 song on the service.

To celebrate, the Queens native and current creator in the fourth installment of the First on SoundCloud campaign, was surprised with personalized Air Force 1s, designed by GRXN Customs. The custom kicks were presented by SoundCloud SVP & Global Head of Music, Artist Relations & Label Services Lisa Ellis, alongside Republic Records CEO Monte Lipman, President and COO Avery Lipman, and the entire Republic staff.

The viral hit “Ransom”, uploaded first to SoundCloud, dominated the charts for 86 days at the #1 spot, surpassing other notable chart toppers and First on SoundCloud creators such as Post Malone's "Rockstar (feat. 21 Savage)", Travis Scott’s "Antidote" and D.R.A.M.’s "BROCCOLI (feat. Lil Yachty)." For more info check out SoundCloud’s Creator Blog.
