The music of our time.

We are kicking off Season 5 with hip-hop artist Nur-D in studio. A native Minnesotan, Nur-D’s career has evolved from heavy metal influences to exploring the depths of hip-hop. Nur-D reveals the genesis behind his twin 2020 releases, “Trapped in My Room” and  “38th” as we explore his artistic journey.  A musical detour from his previous work, the songs are directly influenced by COVID-19 and the riots of 2020. He cares deeply for his community, reflected in his continued work alongside Justice Frontline Aid. The organization provides aid, resources, and education to those who put their bodies on the frontlines in the fight for justice.

Nur-D is a man of many hats and passions, which makes for a lively, fun, and sometimes poignant discussion during a difficult time in our community. Thank you for all of the work you do, Nur-D, and for sharing your important story with us.

PS - we’ll see you at the local Applebees…. :)
