n0mads | ‘Real Spill’, Creative Collective Group
It’s not very often Rap Fiesta gets to introduce independent brands into the Hip-Hop scene, but we are more than proud to shed shine on the diversely talented members of the brand ‘n0mads‘, a collective filled with inspiring creatives out of Sylva, North Carolina. The group is grounded into the Hip-Hop scene, and view themselves as a revolutionary task force. They have their sights set on breaking the mold of monotony and conformity that so often saturate the music industry. n0mads is focused on being the “glitch” that transforms the digital age of music, while navigating the depths successfully of the music industry in calculated fashion.
With 8 members in the group, they understand the power of collaboration, and can be on the cusp of something BROCKHAMPTON like. They are organized, they have rules, and if you don’t fit the criteria- you aren’t n0mads.
They select their members based off being adept in particular skill sets that jive seamlessly with what the group is trying to accomplish. It’s all about having the same bottom line with n0mads, and that is what grows a successful collective. They don’t have any one star, as everyone is a star in their role.
The beauty in their brand is that each member of n0mads is versatile. The 6 founders, Slime Lambo, Alex Cox, FlyBoi Rell, Leo-Era, Lava God, and SIEBEATS all aid in different aspects of their collective. In conjunction to being the founder, Slime Lambo carries out managerial duties and takes the roles of videography as well. Alex Cox dives into the co-managing aspect and runs security. FlyBoi Rell, Leo-Era, and Lava God all aid in the song creation aspect and are artists. SIEBEATS produces for the brand, and makes sure their beats are always fire. The other two members of the collective, Ivy Hawkins and MBLOVE add to the mix of artistry as well, with Ivy Hawk doubling down as designing for n0mads.
They truly seem as if they each have each others best interest in mind and can bring value to the table. Without speaking too soon, it seems they have the recipe for success. They’ve been together since 2019, and that seasoned chemistry paid off when their first 10-track collaborative album ‘Nomads‘ was released.
Aware that there is an abundance of talent that hasn’t been tapped in Sylva, the group is taking advantage in expanding. They understand their demographic, and have the pieces in play to maximize their gains by targeting Universities to perform at, and building within North Carolina communities. They are not a simple minded group, and their complexities are clear. They will do whatever it takes to make sure n0mads is a house hold name.
With their philosophy being that any member has the potential to take on new roles, it encourages an education aspect that most groups are not accustomed to. In other groups, you have your set videographer, your engineer, your designer- and that’s the only role they play. In n0mads, every one has the ability to become who they want- they are fluid in that regard. They can pick and plug members and place them in different roles and flourish. That is the beauty behind their brand, interchangeably creating an environment that focuses on creating an all-around solid foundation.
With much potential for future success, and mantras that are built on togetherness- their music slaps too. Their latest single ‘Real Spill‘ is a testament to all that blood, sweat, and tears. FlyBoi Rell, Leo-Era, and Lava God go off on this record. Their collaboration is seamless and their potential limitless.
