Lance O. Omal[1] (born 30 November 1995[2]), known professionally as Lancey Foux, is a British rapper and singer from Stratford, London.[3][4]

Early life

Lance O. Omal was born in London to a mother and father of Ugandan descent.[3] He spent most of his childhood growing up in Newham, East London.

Career

2015–2017: Online beginnings and solo debut

Lancey Foux began his music career in 2015 by freestyling over YouTube beats from his bedroom. In the same year, he released his debut studio album Pink.[5] Two weeks later, he released a single titled “About It”.[6] Later that year, he released his sophomore studio album TEEN SKUM.[7] After two years of releasing singles on SoundCloud, he released a collaborative studio album with English producer Nyge titled First Day at Nursery.[8]

2018: Too Far Alive and Pink II

By early 2018, Foux started using a different style which he utilized on his album Too Far Alive.[9] Three months later, he released Pink II,[10][11] the sequel to his debut album, which contained a feature from British rapper Skepta on “Dyed 2WICE”.[12] He soon joined Skepta's SK LEVEL Europe tour.[13]

2019: Friend or Foux

Foux performed at US hip-hop festival Rolling Loud in 2019 and modelled for Jordan and A-COLD-WALL*, MISBHV, Trapstar, and Naomi Campbell's 2019 Fashion for Relief Gala.[1] He released his fifth studio album, Friend or Foux, on 6 December 2019,[14][15] which allowed him to sell out his first headline show at O2 Islington, two days later. It also features his most popular song to date called "INDIA", a song Lancey himself doesn't like.

2020

In 2020, months after releasing his project Friend or Foux, Foux cancelled his tour prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Later in June, he went onto release a pair of singles addressing the Black Lives Matter movement titled TIME FOR WAR !i and RELAX !i, the former which was on the first version of his 2022 project, LIFE IN HELL.[16]

In December 2020, Lancey Foux released a single, Poison, featuring close friend Bakar.[17]

2021: First Degree and LIVE.EVIL

In January 2021, Lancey Foux released his second single from his upcoming album titled Steelo Flow.[18] One month later, Lancey Foux released another single titled DONT TALK,[19] which was the lead single for his Mixtape FIRST DEGREE.[20][21]

Lancey was also invited by Kanye West in Vegas to work on his album Donda, which was released on August 29, 2021. While he wasn't featured on any of the finished songs, it was revealed that he did a demo for the song "24".

In November 2021, Omal released a mixtape titled LIVE.EVIL.[22] The project received two features by American rappers Lil Yachty on the third track OUTTAMYMIND! and 24kGoldn on the last track "BIG SWAG" released before the project's release.[23]
