Unpredictable, diverse, determined, and real are just few of the words used to describe this Kingston by the way of Florida rapper Nomad Carlos. Born in Florida on May 5, 1987 and is currently living between there and Kingston, Carlos been said to “Live and breathe Hip Hop” by his peers.
Nomad, an avid lover of many genres of music, started writing raps after being inspired by a few of his peers who happened to be very skillful in the art. From early recordings, he moved on to releasing mixtapes with a group named the Bullet Proof Army which consisted of him and a few of his peers. Nomad went on to performing, releasing music videos, and even completing an album with the Bullet Proof Army and was recognized as one of Jamaica’s up and coming rappers.
“I definitely see myself as a someone you should look out for in the industry,” he says. “I’m not trying to be anybody or sound like anyone out there. I’m just making real music that I enjoy and that people can relate to.”
In his music, Nomad Carlos reflects on his personal life experiences as an “Uptown Yute“ growing up in Kingston and what he sees happening around him. His introspective rhymes, backed by superb production, make his music something people feel and pay close attention to. The young rapper also brings something fresh to the game by representing where he’s from. “I think it gives a new outlook as far as content within Hip Hop as I lived a different life in Jamaica than abroad,” he says, and it shows alot in his music.
What’s next for Nomad Carlos? He aims to hit the scene with good music, and plenty of it. “Live From Yard”, hosted by DJ Ill Will & DJ Rockstar, is a mixtape that was released in January 2012 and is the first act in his Hip Hop campaign. With singles such as “Yard Law”, “Illest” and “1 Time 2 Time”, this Taurean bull will be a force to be reckoned with.
