One artist that we have been following for a minute is Detroit emcee/producer NOLAN fka (formerly known as Nolan The Ninja). Not too long ago, NOLAN took the time out to chop it up with us at VannDigital about a variety of topics. You can give what was discussed a read below...
VannDigital: What’s good famo???
NOLAN fka: What up doe!?
Why the change in sound???
To be honest, there really hasn’t been a ‘change’. What you’re hearing from me has always been instilled in me. But I just had to grow up, mature, and gain a better understanding of myself as an artist as well as a human being.
Tell us about your upcoming project.
My next record sounds really good. It’s the quintessential project I wanted to make 10 years ago but again, wasn’t developed that far regarding songwriting, production, creative direction, etc.
How did you go from Nolan The Ninja to NOLAN fka???
I came up with ‘Nolan the Ninja’ when I was 15-16 years old. We’re talking 10+ years ago at this point. NOLAN is my birth name and what everybody calls me anyway. The ‘fka’ is me announcing my growth & reintroducing my craft. I’m not a ninja nor have I ever been. haha
Anything else in the works beside your upcoming project???
Yes! New music, visuals, new work, BTS with some of your favorite artists in real-time, touring, etc. Essentially, I’m just trying to keep busy.
