Based in Florida after moving from Baltimore, SlickBoy Nae is bringing a unique sound to his new home city of Port Saint Lucie. Introducing elements of R&B, as well as both contemporary and old-school hip-hop into his music, he showcases consistent versatility. Considering himself an ‘underdog’, the artist makes moves to expand his career at every opportunity.
SlickBoy Nae’s latest release is the hard-hitting single ‘Filtered’, diving into a romantic conflict with his lyricism and embracing the pain in his performance. A beat comprised of plucky acoustic guitar and airy, reverberant vocal samples, backed up by steady trap hi-hats and gut-punching kicks in the production, SlickBoy Nae crafts a shimmering atmosphere. Blending sung and rapped delivery, the artist ramps up the energy, calling out directly to his own experiences with a sense of deep understanding in his words.
The artist comments, ”I wanted to write a song about that Love that feels real but isn’t — Filtered Love. Have you ever had someone that loved you behind closed doors and never in public?”
