Brooklyn has long been a breeding ground for some of the most influential artists in hip-hop, and Nardo Six is no exception. A multi-talented rapper and singer, Nardo Six has been crafting his sound for the past 12 years. His journey into music began with his first track, “Really Real,” a raw reflection of life in the streets of New York City. Inspired by his brother, who has always been a motivating figure, Nardo Six’s gritty lyrics and powerful delivery echo the legacy of Brooklyn’s hip-hop greats.
Nardo’s music is deeply rooted in hip-hop, but it doesn’t stop there. Drawing inspiration from legends like Pop Smoke and the late Juice WRLD, with whom he has a feature, his tracks are a blend of hard-hitting rap and melodic flows. His latest release, “Smokin On Red,” showcases his versatility and talent as both an artist and producer, since he handles all the production of his music himself. With an upcoming album on the way, fans are eager to see how he’ll elevate his sound in the coming months.
Despite having performed for crowds as large as 200 people, Nardo Six isn’t focused on numbers; he’s more concerned with making a connection through his music. His biggest supporters are his dedicated fans, who have been with him since day one, and he continues to engage them by writing all of his material and creating his own music video concepts. His ambition doesn’t stop at just making music. In the next five years, Nardo envisions himself making hits all over the world, performing in places like his hometown of Brooklyn, where he hopes to one day hold a sold-out show.
Though he’s not signed to a label, Nardo Six is open to a record or distribution deal if the right opportunity comes along. When asked who he would love to collaborate with, dead or alive, he quickly mentions 21 Savage and icons like Tupac and Biggie — a testament to the timeless nature of his aspirations.
Nardo Six is Brooklyn through and through, representing his roots while keeping his eyes on the global stage.
