Nazeem

Nazeem is a dynamic rapper and songwriter originally from Southside Minneapolis, now based in New York. Known for his raw lyricism and powerful presence, he first gained recognition as one half of the gritty hip-hop duo BLOOD $MOKE BODY, a project rooted in the storytelling and urgency of life in the Southside.

 

Beyond his work with BLOOD $MOKE BODY, Nazeem has released solo music under his own name and has collaborated closely with fellow artist Spencer Joles, blending sharp bars with melodic and experimental production. His music explores themes of identity, struggle, resilience, and growth — all delivered with a distinct voice shaped by both Midwest roots and a new East Coast perspective.

 

With a growing body of work and a commitment to pushing boundaries, Nazeem continues to carve out a unique lane in the hip-hop landscape.
