Nights11de, the multifaceted artist from Philadelphia, PA, has been making waves in the music scene with his raw, unfiltered style that blends rap, melody, and a deep connection to the struggles and triumphs of life. Known for his distinct voice and ability to craft his own beats, mix, and master his tracks, Nights11de is a true independent artist pushing boundaries.
After over 18 years of immersing himself in music through playing instruments, he stepped into the world of rap in 2024, quickly catching the attention of listeners with his debut single Spiderweb. The track reflects his resilient nature, inspired by a spider he saw outside his window — a creature that tirelessly rebuilt its web no matter how many times it was destroyed. For Nights11de, this symbolized the power of perseverance, something he believes is vital for his own journey in music.
Nights11de’s sound can be best described as “Rhythm and Poetry” with occasional doses of melody, as he likes to keep his music dynamic, yet grounded in storytelling. His inspirations come from legendary figures like Lord Infamous, Future, and Young Thug, as well as the strength of Mother Nature itself, embodied in the relentless spirit of that spider. Even with such heavy influences, he’s carved out a unique space for himself, one where the dark side of life is not feared but embraced.
Though currently unsigned, Nights11de has no illusions about the industry. He values his independence but recognizes the potential of a good partnership. His biggest supporters? His family, his close friends like Biz and Rose, and, most importantly, himself — because at the end of the day, self-belief is where it all starts.
Despite not yet having performed live as Nights11de, he has been on stage before in a past band, playing to crowds of up to 500 people. He dreams of performing in Japan, a place where his music might connect with a whole new audience. As for the future, he’s focused on one thing: growth. “In five years, I see myself older, colder, bolder, and most importantly, still sober,” he says.
