Caribou Lou is a singer/songwriter from Montreal, Canada. After releasing his debut album in 2008, he returned to the studio in 2010 to record his sophomore effort. Unveiling The Carribou Lou Anthology on March 6th, 2012, Caribou Lou’s third album is a testament to the fact that there’s no stopping him. The 29-year-old artist is now one of hip hop and R&B’s biggest stars, with more than a few fans in rap and pop music as well—and it all started with a simple cup of joe. Born and raised in the streets of Montreal, Carribou Lou was already making an impact when he was just a kid. When people think of Carribou Lou, images of him don’t necessarily come to mind — which makes sense considering he made his name as a solo artist until reuniting with his longtime producer DJ Frank The Godchild for The Carribou Lou Anthology. The rapper/singer reminisces about growing up in an impoverished family on this coffee table book about his life and work.

Though he released a single in 2011, it didn’t chart, and then in 2012, he returned to his music and released the album The Carribou Lou Anthology. tech n9ne caribou lou
Carribou Lou: Self-Titled, Vol. 1
Rapping under the name of Caribou Lou, this Montreal artist released his self-titled first album in 2006. The album featured production from DJ Frank The Godchild, and while it received moderate success, it was largely overlooked until the release of the follow-up, Self-Titled, Vol. 2. The album was released in 2007, and though it wasn’t as well received as its predecessor, it was still well-liked by fans.
Carribou Lou: Self-Titled, Vol. 2
After returning from his music studies, Carribou Lou released his sophomore effort, Self-Titled, Vol. 2 in 2011. Though it didn’t feature the same level of commercial success as his debut, the album nonetheless received critical acclaim, and it was later certified platinum in Canada. The follow-up, The Carribou Lou Anthology, was released in 2012, and though it received generally favorable reviews, it didn’t match the commercial success of its predecessors.
Carribou Lou: The Final Words
In the last year of his life, Carribou Lou released the final installment in his The Carribou Lou Anthology series, The Final Words, which was released on August 24th, 2017. The album featured contributions from a number of his longtime collaborators, including Omarr Eaze, K. Singh, and Soryn. Though it was his final release, it was still packed with love and passion, and it served as a fitting coda to the life of a true artist.
Caribou Lou’s 3rd Album “The Carribou Lou Anthology”
In the lead-up to his death, Carribou Lou recorded two new tracks with his friend Soryn — “Songs from the Bottom of My Heart” and “How to Follow a Singer/Songwriter on Social Media.” Both songs have been released in tribute to the late artist.
“Songs From the Bottom of My Heart” – A Timeless Journey
Jumping right into the song “Songs From the Bottom of My Heart,” listeners will find a truly inspiring track. The song is about persevering through hard times, and it serves as an anthem for the downtrodden. Moon River is another classic love song from The Bottom of My Heart — one that will have listeners reflecting on the gift of love.
How to Follow a Singer/Songwriter on Social Media
Sending love and support via social media is another key to following a singer/songwriter. Carribou Lou would have loved the support — and the opportunity to share the track with his fans — so he left behind a special message for his followers. Soryn Lumet, a successful actor and artist, passed away in 2017 after a long battle with cancer. In the last year of his life, he recorded two new tracks with Carribou Lou, one of which will be released posthumously.
You Ain’t Seen N9ne Yet
After releasing the album The Carribou Lou Anthology in 2012, Carribou Lou embarked on a headlining tour of Australia and New Zealand in support of the record. The tour was his most successful to date, running for nearly five months and clocking in at a whopping 100,000 fans. Despite the success of his tours and the reception accorded his music, it would appear that N9ne is still waiting for his next studio album. So, while the world waits, N9ne is busy keeping his fans updated on his current projects.
