“Locked In” by Nuage~Soul and F.S Rudy is a classic Atlanta banger. The music video for the single is a banger, too, with various special effects, shooting locations, etc.
That was really just me trying to let folk know, like, man, I’m coming,” Nuage explains about the “Locked In” single. “I feel like I make good music. You know what I’m saying? I guess I’m still trying to find my fan base … My only thing was that this got to sound like a hit. This got to be something that when folk put this thing on, they get the move.”
Nuage~Soul
Nuage~Soul’s name comes from the French word for “cloud.”
2013, I met up with some folk when I had moved to Atlanta … [the group Nuage met] was called like a “cloud game,'” the artist explains. “I remember it was a time where [one of the members] was basically calling himself ‘cloud warrior’ or something like that.”
The artist’s ultimate goal is to help people “understand I’m my own goat. I’m not like everybody else. I don’t make music like everybody else. I’m great in my own motherf*cking way, and I just hope folk can accept that for real … Because I feel like nowadays, everybody is on the little drill shit. You feel me? I could get on that, but I’m not that. I’m diverse. That’s not just me. I’m not just no street n*gga, bro. I’m trying to be a business, to expand, man.”
Nuage’s Inspirations
What inspires Nuage~Soul the most is his “mood.”
“My mood is going to set the tone because however I’m feeling,” the artist explains. “I can’t be sad right now trying to make a happy-ass song because that’s not what I’m feeling. I got to be in the mode of what I’m trying to do. So if it’s like I’m trying to speak some real sh*t, it’s because I’m going through some real sh*t right now. If it’s like I just make a track where I’m just turned up, blah, blah, blah, having a good time, that’s just because that’s the mode that I was in … Like today I woke up, and all day it’s just been in my head. I need to come up with a song. And it’s like, ‘But how are you feeling?’ I’m no hot pocket in a microwave or whatever. I like to take my time with it because I’m very in tune with my music. So I don’t want to just put out any bullshit. So, I got to take my time.”
