Nur-D

One of the fastest rising stars in Minnesota's music scene, Nur-D burst onto the stage in 2018. Imagine the soulful sounds of Bruno Mars or Childish Gambino, the powerful energy of Chance the Rapper, the pop culture punchlines of an episode of "Community," all rolled up into a show that everyone can enjoy à la The Fresh Prince. Performing alongside national acts like MisterWives, Ludacris, Tyler The Creator, and the Grammy Award winning Minnesota Orchestra, Nur-D is well on his way to becoming a household name!

Designated Best New MN Artist in 2019 (Citypages), headlined The 2020 “Best New Bands” show at First Avenue, honoree for the 2021 National Philanthropy Day (University of Minnesota), awarded 2021 Best Live Concert (Citypages), voted the 2022 Best Musician/Local Artist (Twin Cities Collective), Nur-D brings an explosion of energy every time he hits the stage!

With nine full length projects, each with their own flair to his discography, Nur-D has something special for any occasion. Whether you're going out on the town with “Take My Picture,” bopping to “Collide,” channeling flirty energy with “All My Friends Are So Hot,” or you just want to “Strut” your stuff, don’t be afraid to ride the “Black Wizard Wave” and celebrate yourself! Work through “The Storm” of everything going on around you, kick it with “All of That,” let “HVN” ring with community and uplift you, leaving you feeling “Glorious!”

Nur-D is a breath of fresh air in the Hip-Hop world, and fans are feeling the same. Boasting a fervent fan base across the U.S. and around the globe, if you haven't heard the name Nur-D yet you certainly will soon. It’s easy to see why many people are calling Nur-D the next big thing out of Minnesota!
