Nardo Wick, who is a product of the unique Florida rap scene, generated quite the buzz with his viral single "Who Want Smoke??" earlier this year.
A week before his album release, Wick dropped his single “Me or Sum” featuring Lil Baby and Future.
Future begins by describing girls and riches over a classic synthy trap beat by Z3N, that completely switches to a darker and more bass-heavy beat for Nardo Wick’s verse. Wick’s style is solidified, and he’s more skilled than ever. Lil Baby joins in on the conversation for his verse while the track closes with an energetic Future verse. The dynamic, star-studded song gives us a peek into the polished quality and style of “Who is Nardo Wick?”
After the release of the smash-hit single “Who Want Smoke??” earlier this year, the 19-year-old Jacksonville native updated the track in October with a remix, boasting verses from Lil Durk, 21 Savage, and G Herbo. The remixed single exploded, debuting at No. 17 on Billboard Hot 100. It has amassed over 90 million streams and created several new TikTok trends.
A promising 2020 landed Wick an appearance on the “Judas and the Black Messiah: The Inspired Album” alongside the late Nipsey Hussle, JAY-Z, Polo G, and more.
Wick gained attention with his first three singles “Lolli,” “Slide,” and “Came Up,” which were released on SoundCloud last year. His clever one-liners and grimy vocals over dark trap beats began to build his signature sound.
Besides his knockout “Who Want Smoke??,” Wick released singles “Shhh”, “Knock Knock,” “Pull Up,” and “I Be Chillin” in 2021. Nardo Wick’s remarkable success has propelled him to be among the top faces of Jacksonville hip-hop.
