Nadir “NJ Gift,” Payne, who hails from Brick City, has leaked his first single off Future Legend Part 2-LP, which drops this summer. It is expected that ‘Ain’t Striking Out featuring Chevy Porter mix’ will hit the charts this spring. Through this single, Nadir pays homage to his decade in the game, honing his skills as he overcame obstacles.
When you look closer at the story, you learn that Nadir lost his mother at a young age, forcing him to navigate Newark alone. A battle-hardened emcee, NJ Gift has earned his stripes. He brings a wealth of experience to the mic as his lyrics bleed over from past experiences, imprisonment, battle and hustling on to chase the dream he will not surrender to. Nadir’s new album’s first track is a gift to himself considering that he has overcome doubters who have thrown in the towel in his quest to reach the top of life’s escalator despite obstacles along the way.
On the hook of “Ain’t Striking Out,” NJ Gift’s continued success echoes, “Get this money always, I stressed my mama gave her all grays, remember trappin in the building on those long days, I come a long way from them hallways…” “Ain’t Striking Out” is an impressive statement of NJ Gift’s growth and prowess as he advances to the top of the hip hop world. Crisp wordplay and tight hooks combine to paint a picture of a lyricist who has been on the front lines of life and death and has transformed that pressure into success.
NJ Gift has connected with top videographers to shoot the videos for his new LP. He will also be booking shows throughout the east coast in response to the new album’s release.
