Beyond his role as a rapper, Kash Juliano demonstrates his versatility as a producer and songwriter. He not only crafts beats for his own tracks but also lends his talents to other artists. His songwriting is praised for its honesty and authenticity, resonating with listeners on a personal level.
The fact that there are still artists who extend a helping hand to those who are seeking a career in the music industry is a heartening sight.

Rich Nunu – From Gang Turmoil To Musical Resilience

Rich Nunu, a young rapper hailing from Brooklyn, had a turbulent past marked by involvement in local gang activities. This resulted in legal troubles including charges of murder conspiracy and weapon possession, leading to a brief prison stint. His association with the FNO gang, which later merged with rival gangs PPP and YAWAH to form YPF, drew the attention of law enforcement, prompting a crackdown on gun violence.
While incarcerated, Nunu turned to songwriting as a means of self-expression and possibly therapeutic outlet. Inmates often read and write during their time behind bars, aiding in self-reflection and personal growth. This approach is necessary for everyone.
Upon his release, Nunu, along with his friend Rich Glizzy, were cleared of charges, but the others remained involved in legal proceedings. Nunu’s music, featuring tracks like “Nobody Safe,” “Keep Dumpin,” and “Proud of Me,” portrays his experiences in gang culture and the criminal justice system. He advocates for his incarcerated friends’ freedom.
While his friends continue to fight for their freedom, Rich Nunu has risen from the experience. He uses his newfound platform to spread a message of perseverance and hope.
“Drill Soul” is now available on all streaming platforms.
