So you were 14 when you started rapping. Why did the street shit get so out of control? Just me being broke my whole life and knowing how much stress and anxiety, how much pain come with that. The possibility of permanently removing that. That's a strong form of motivation. It'll make you put that route shit to the side. I kind of fell back from the music'm making so much money in screech. That's when everything

started taking off. With what? With emotion, I got caught a plug. When it came time for me to snap, I go out of that myself and bring back a hundred. How would you bring 100 pounds back? The mail. Nino Breeze is one of the hottest up-and-coming rap artists in America. He just dropped a single that's going viral with Rick Ross, who signed him to his

record label for a huge seven-figure contract. Nino was a longtime weed kingpin who grew up in the

slums of St. Petersburg, Florida. He found his niche as a drug trafficker by shipping pounds of

weed through the mail from Humboldt County to his home in southwest Florida. In 2018, he was

arrested in a DEA sting that

netted almost 300 pounds of weed and landed Nino in prison for almost six years. While he was down,

he focused in hard on his rapping, and by the time he hit the street, he was already buzzing in the

Florida underground. Then Rick Ross heard one of his singles, jumped on the track, and the rest is history.

Nino now travels the country opening up for Ross and promoting his new music.

Make sure to go download him on Spotify right now and follow him on all socials.

I fuck with this man and his music, and I promise you will too.

It was just easy to fly under the radar.

I go to open the gate for him, let him in, and then he grabbed me.

And he started saying, police, police police police police then I started looking around and these bitches jumping out of bushes they coming from behind

cars the police was air well I was charged with a 924C which is losing the gun and the furtherments

That's when I see the lights behind me start to flash. And I didn't even think, I just hit it. I was driving like my life depended on. Then I parked the car, popped out, closed the door, and I started running. And he pulls out a burner, shank, like six inches and he passes it to me and he goes
