Drill Pioneer Nito NB Brings The Heat In His Long-Awaited Return To Music

West London raised drill pioneer, NitoNB is ready to make his highly anticipated return to music with the scorching new singles ‘Took My Time’ and ‘Lean Wid It’ both unfiltered, energy-charged UK drill cuts, setting the record straight on where he’s been and why he finally decided to come back to the booth.

Truly one of the godfathers of UK drill as we know it, NitoNB sets himself apart from other rappers of his era with his aggressive and hard hitting delivery. Fiercely committed to honouring only authentic illustrations of the street life that birthed him, Nito is revered for his raw insights which he continuously dresses in ever-evolving editions of sonic grit and refreshing lyrical technicality.

Anchored by a dark yet lively production, his first single ‘Took My Time’ finds the rapper reeling off bars like it’s nothing, balancing his natural aggression with straight talking, factual bars which describe the trials and tribulations of a major UK drill artist going through a transition in his career, ready to set the scene alight all over again.

The NB in his name is representative of Northolt, a town in West London with a reputation for poverty, crime and violence. First coming on the scene in 2017 with ‘Drilling’ ft. MadMax, the breakout single quickly amassed millions of views and immediately made NitoNB a contender for one of the most exciting talents of the genre. Continuing his prodigious rise, Nito then went on to drop a slew of impressive singles and freestyles, with standouts including ‘Rise & Tan’ and now Tik-Tok famous ‘Lightwork Freestyle’ going on to receive a combined 25 million views between them.

Following the release of ‘Took My Time’, the first single to mark the drill godfather’s long-awaited return, the West London raised drill rapper surprises fans by de-masking for the first time. Nito NB’s 2nd release off upcoming project, proves not only that his hiatus from the rap game did little to stunt his musical prowess, but that he’s here to be seen, and he’s here to stay.

Beyond the massive cultural moment this new video provides, ‘Lean Wid It’ once again showcases Nito’s impeccable flow, lyricism and beat selection – with the video’s ballerinas providing a humorous juxtaposition whilst they dance elegantly to a hard-hitting drill track.

Nito’s ability to consistently impress listeners through his creation of hood anthems and hard hitting bangers has given him a cult fanbase, widely considering him one of the most talented and underrated pioneers of the UK drill genre.

NitoNB’s life in the streets and dealings with the judiciary system caused lengthy disappearances, leading him to neglect an eagerly devoted fanbase. Nevertheless, he is now anticipated to release his debut project in 2022 which will more than explain his time away, as well as showcase his natural talent on the mic and impressive evolution as an artist.
