About Young Nudy:
Atlanta native Young Nudy first garnered massive attention with his 2016 mixtape Slimeball. He showcased a variety of styles in his rap approach by blending a laid-back, but raw delivery with energetic flows. Following the success of Slimeball, he continued to release musically diverse projects such as his 2019 collaboration with Pi’erre Bourne, Sli’merre, the dark and mysterious vibes of 2021’s Dr. EV4L, and the mesh of nostalgic hip-hop beats with sinister verses on his 2023 Gumbo release. All of this led to where Nudy currently is today.
Young Nudy has had an incredible journey with his rise to fame. Early on, producer Pi’erre Bourne recognized his potential and would bring Nudy into the studio after hours to collaborate on mixtape tracks. His first music video, “Off the Head,” was released in 2014, but it was his 2016 mixtape, Slimeball, that catapulted him to global fame. Slimeball 2 was released the following year featuring guest appearances from Juicy J and Peso. In 2017, Young Nudy the Nudyland mixtape was released, which included production from Richie Souf and Pi’erre Bourne, and had features from Offset and Lil Yachty. Fans were eager about Nudy’s major collaboration with his cousin 21 Savage on “Since When.” The track with Savage became a massive success, garnering millions of streams for Nudy. He continued his success with Slimeball 3 later that year and the critically acclaimed full-length collaboration with Bourne, Sli’merre, in 2019. Additionally, his mixtape Faded in the Booth was well-received for its more laid-back vibe.
In early 2020, Nudy came out with the mixtape Anyways. The project featured unique production and unconventional instrumentals that complemented the rapper’s energetic performances and darker lyrics. Nudy continued to explore different sounds in 2021 with his second studio album, Dr. EV4L. This record had a sinister, horrorcore vibe and featured collaborations with artists like Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, and G Herbo, focusing on eerie instrumentals and intense lyrical themes. Shortly after the release of Dr. EV4L, Nudy dropped his third studio album, Rich Shooter, in August 2021. This album moved away from horrorcore and embraced more experimental approaches while still maintaining a commercial appeal. With guest appearances from Future, 21 Lil Harold, Peewee Longway, and others, the album showcased Young Nudy exploring various styles. Rich Shooter also debuted in the Billboard 200 charts. In 2022, Nudy collaborated with BabyDrill on the track “Duntsane,” the lead single from his upcoming mixtape, EA Monster. Released in August 2022, the mixtape featured a polished sound with futuristic synth elements and showcased Nudy’s improved rapping skills. It also entered the Billboard 200 chart for Nudy.
Young Nudy’s subsequent and latest album, Gumbo, was released in February 2023 and took a different musical direction with minimal beats and production reminiscent of late-2000s hip-hop. All the tracks on the album were named after food, and it included guest appearances from Key Glock and 21 Savage. Gumbo is Nudy’s highest debuting album in his career and features his most mainstream, successful single “Peaches & Eggplants” featuring 21 Savage. After reaching the top spot on the US Hot 50 TikTok charts last July, the song peaked at #49 on the Billboard Hot 100, his first song to make this chart, and has accumulated 3.1 billion short form video views. “Peaches and Eggplants” has amassed over 271 million streams worldwide and has garnered over 68 million views on its music video. It also got a remix featuring Latto and Sexxy Red.
With the release of the single and video “John Wayne” featuring Metro Boomin, Nudy is gearing up for a new album coming soon.
