Nu Blacc, born Dazaris Harper in Rockford, Illinois and now based in Baltimore, is an independent rapper, songwriter, audio engineer, and creative curator whose work blends hip-hop, R&B, and alternative influences into a sound that’s both genre-fluid and deeply personal. Inspired by artists like Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and Jay-Z, he began writing lyrics at age six and recorded his first studio track by thirteen. His mantra—Never Underestimate, Build Legacies And Create Constantly—drives a hands-on approach to every aspect of his career, from songwriting and engineering to branding, curating, and podcasting.
Nu Blacc released his debut album Lost Boy: Small World in 2020, and has since followed up with a steady output of singles and collaborations that showcase his growth as both an artist and storyteller. His 2025 album Nobody Likes A Nobody marks a major milestone, featuring emotionally rich, sonically layered tracks like “Dancing In The Afterlife” and “Blacc In The Booth.” Alongside solo work, Nu Blacc has been featured on collaborative records like “Trinity” and “#FYBR,” and continues to build a network within Baltimore’s indie scene.
Beyond the studio, Nu Blacc has grown a digital following with over 56K followers and 1.5M likes on TikTok, while also being recognized by outlets like Voyage Baltimore for his multidimensional artistry. Whether through music, live events, or his podcast “The Nu Understanding,” he creates from a place of transparency, purpose, and independent spirit. With a growing catalog, a loyal fanbase, and a clear creative vision, Nu Blacc is emerging as one of the most consistent and compelling voices in independent hip-hop today.
