Floco Torres

Floco Torres (pronounced Flock-o) is a hip-hop musician, producer and graphic designer based in Akron, Ohio, and 38 projects deep into his solo career. A New Jersey native, he moved to Georgia in 2008 and recorded and performed steadily there before relocating to Akron in 2017 to work for the arts and culture magazine The Devil Strip.

He has envisioned and revisioned his creative expression countless times, building a steady following for a sound where hip-hop meets alternative rock, with influences like Kid Cudi, Tame Impala and St. Vincent. Nobody Cares News is the umbrella brand for all of his work in music, graphic design, live performance and journalism. He is also one half of the duo Free Black!, which played Akron's bicentennial celebration at Lock 3 Park in 2025.
