@nick_grant — Nick Grant

Born and raised in Walterboro, South Carolina, it didn’t take much for Nick to stick out in the town with a population of approximately 5,000 people. While he was firstly known as a gifted athlete, he discovered that Hip Hop was an equally, if not more, competitive sport. He wrote his first rhyme when a group of friends dared him to write one better than theirs. After winning them over on that bet, the rest of the town followed suit as he battled neighbors and classmates one by one, defeating them all.Under the leadership of the Culture Republic team, Nick released “Royalty,” featuring CyHi The Prynce who he met on the open mic circuit. The track was followed by a video that put the MC’s name in the right conversations. Nick went on to appear on Sway In The Morning and fired off a succession of epic freestyles that galvanized the listening public, which were followed up by introspective records like “Gold Chains,” “Dead Poet Society” and “The Jungle.”
