So what has been the life and career of the man known as Nino Brown? Keep reading to find out!
Early Life
The man known as Nino Brown was born on 13 February 1984 in Miami, Florida. While his real name is unknown, ‘Nino Brown’ fits him well as it was inspired by the main character from the 1991 movie “New Jack City”, portrayed by the actor Wesley Snipes.
In an interview with Miami News Times, Nino described said character as ‘one of the biggest hustlers’ in movie history, affirming that he doesn’t admire him for the resolution he had at the end of the movie, but for the fact he created a ‘hundred million dollar business’ from the ground.
With that being said, Nino didn’t initially go with his current moniker, but was instead known as RichKidd.
Beginnings As A Rapper
Nino Brown first gained popularity as a rapper on Soundcloud in the late 2000 decade for his solo tracks and collaborations. He was signed under DJ Khaled’s label We The Best Music Group in 2010.
Back in 2014, Nino told the Miami News Times that one of the best benefits of working with DJ Khaled was getting recognition and acknowledgment for his hard work. It was during his time with DJ Khaled that he left the name ‘RichKidd’ behind to adopt Nino Brown, affirming it represented his transition from being a ‘baby lion’ to becoming a full-growth lion after acquiring knowledge and experience. Nino also describes himself as a hustler, finding that trait similar to that of the fictional character Nino Brown.
Unfortunately, things didn’t work with DJ Khaled in the long run. According to a 2016 video of Nino, his time working with the internationally known DJ opened his eyes to a life of luxuries and power but also made him feel he wasn’t going anywhere in his career a couple of years after being signed.
Later in 2020, Nino told Hip Hop News Uncensored that he didn’t want to have anything to do with We The Best anymore, on top of revealing that he never received any money from the deal and self-funded his projects and videos while he was there.
Feud & More Music
In his beginnings, Nino Brown received backlash from other Florida-based rappers. In 2011, a rapper who goes by the name YD posted a homemade online series entitled “You Ain’t From Town: Where’s Rich Kidd (Nino Brown)” on his YouTube channel. These videos showed YD and other local Miami rappers accusing Nino Brown of lying about his origins, on top of claiming they didn’t know about him and his alleged connections to the streets.
In 2016 Nino and Trick Daddy were involved in a controversy when Nino allegedly used Trick’s name in a song without permission.
Despite the negative opinions, Nino has affirmed that he ‘represents the streets’ and the ‘hood’. In 2016 he released the documentary “Nino Brown aka Rich Kidd”, which was filmed in the late 2000s and early 2010s, focusing on showing Nino’s growth as an artist and his humble beginnings.
When it comes to music, Nino has released some popular tracks in the last decade. The most remarkable ones are “Turn Up” from 2016 and “Legs Shake” from 2014, both of which have gained millions of plays on Soundcloud. Also in 2016, he released the song “Watch Me Do My Thang” featuring Gucci Mane.
