Nikko Knight delivers his message with the ferocity of an underrated fighter with something to prove.
Growing up in a talent-rich DMV, near Wale’s native, Knight showcases his aggression, energy and an emotionally eclectic style reflective of his suburban roots with a smidgen of D.C. edge. Knight, a Virginia Beach and Reston native, separates himself from a crowded marketplace with his candid lyrics and his authentic personification.
At the impressionable age of 10, Knight immersed himself in the world of hip hop by learning the nuances of both hip hop and rap. At the beginning of his career, Knight had his critics whose perceptions, that in order to be a credible hip hop artist, you had to live a tumultuous life in the hood.
“I had a lot of people that doubted me,” Knight said. “In the past, people that I surrounded myself with when I was younger didn’t really believe in me (as a hip hop artist.) That weighed heavily on my mind, and inspired and motivated me to want to prove them wrong.”
Teetering between typical suburban, adolescent interests such as football, and what would become his undeniable passion of creating music, Knight wavered between the lifestyles until his freshman year of high school. This is when the birth of his trademark style of champion music’ first emerged.
“When I was 16-years-old, I started writing a lot of inspirational content,” Knight said. “I guess that is because that’s what I was really feeling and I wanted to inspire people through music.
