YBN Nahmir

YBN Nahmir, born Nick Simmons on December 18, 1999, is an American rapper from Birmingham, Alabama. He rose to prominence as part of the YBN collective alongside YBN Almighty Jay and YBN Cordae, helping put the group on the map before each member branched into a solo career. His breakout moment came with «Rubbin Off The Paint», a self-produced track whose homemade video went viral on WorldStarHipHop, racking up millions of views within days and establishing him as one of the defining voices of the late-2010s SoundCloud and mumble rap wave.

Nahmir's sound blends bouncy, minimalist trap production with laid-back, melodic flows, often built on beats he programs himself, a rarity among his rap peers. Tracks like «Bounce Out With That» and «Opp Stoppa» showcase his ear for hypnotic basslines and catchy hooks, while his remix work, including a high-profile version of Tay-K's «The Race», connected him to the broader wave of young Southern and West Coast-influenced rap breaking out on streaming platforms.

Beyond his solo catalog, Nahmir has collaborated with artists across the rap and R&B spectrum, cementing his place as a key figure of the YBN movement's crossover into mainstream hip-hop. His DIY approach to beatmaking and his internet-driven rise remain central to his identity as an artist who came up entirely through viral culture rather than traditional industry channels.
