“Pretty Girls” by Nando

Bronx-hailing rapper Nando was inspired by the city’s rich hip-hop culture when he first started to figure out his future plans. And, raised around the Latin sounds of his heritage, it wasn’t long until he began putting together his own blend of rap. From there, he honed his sound performing at local venues and collaborating with other up-and-coming artists in the city.

Now, he’s just released his third-ever EP, titled ‘Sorry My Love, I’m Drunk’. It’s a celebration of the drunken, unapologetic nights of his youth with his unique perspective guiding the tracks, being an Ecuadorian kid from the Bronx. “Pretty Girls”, the offering’s lead single, is super high-energy, mixing together hip-hop and Jersey club beats. The EP sees Nando collaborating with new faces, including Tydidit on “Pretty Girls” and the likes of Timmy Swerve of Love Island USA and SpliffHappy collaborator MRI across the other tracks.

Three years on from his debut and smooth flow down pat, it looks like Nando’s only just getting started.
