He is known for the phrase "No hablo mucho, la vida ya lo explicó", which he has used to describe his philosophy of letting life experiences speak through his music.
He began writing lyrics in 2010 following the death of his father, Mohamed Libari, who worked at the Urban Municipality of Tangier, a Moroccan state institution. His father's passing had a profound impact on his life and family. The years that followed were marked by legal and financial difficulties that later influenced the themes present in his music.
Chico Loco 40 started his artistic journey in 2014 alongside his brother LB0025. Growing up in challenging social circumstances, he encountered legal problems at a young age and spent several years in prison. These experiences later became central elements in his artistic expression.
During his incarceration, which lasted three years and nine months, he devoted his time to writing and self-reflection. During that period he studied religious texts, memorized parts of the Quran, and wrote more than 140 rap lyrics. The experience later played a significant role in shaping his worldview and artistic direction.
After receiving a royal pardon and leaving prison, he returned to music in 2024 and continued developing the CL40 project, collaborating with producer QUARANTA_FOUR_ZERO and working with WR Beats Studio. He has described music as a way to transform personal experiences into artistic expression and to encourage younger generations to avoid the mistakes he made in the past.
The artist initially distributed his music through DistroKid before later moving to Symphonic Distribution for subsequent releases.
One of his releases is the music video "No Soy Un Ladron", inspired by personal life experiences. Within its first year online, the video reached more than 100,000 views. During the same period, his music surpassed 100,000 streams on Spotify, while his Instagram account grew to more than 30,000 followers.
He has collaborated with several artists from different countries, including his brother LB0025, Mexican artist Mili The Flow Man, Argentine artist Bapho, and London-based artist Lil Kabob.
