In this nostalgic yet powerful conversation, Quia sits down with rising Philly artist NP55, whose emotional, story-driven “pain songs” are bringing real rap back to the culture. We dive into how he turned childhood memories, personal loss, and his North Philly roots into a viral, purpose-filled music brand.
From his first basketball jersey to his breakout single “19120,” NP55 shares the mindset, message, and moves behind his journey as an independent artist.
