Players: Nazzy the Mic, vocals
On a rainy March night at The Loft at City Winery, actor Orlando Jones ended his stand up set in an unexpected way. Instead of simply taking a bow, he invited up-and-coming Philadelphia rapper Nazzy the Mic onstage to close the show. At only 21, Nazzy has been tenaciously pursuing her rap career for six years. She released her debut track, “Last Scar,” at age 15, and has followed up with at least one EP or album every year. After signing Nazzy to his label, GangStir Rock Music (GSR), Jones helped usher in her 2025 album, I am Nazzy.
For her New York City debut, Nazzy delivered her signature style—raw, vulnerable flows over stripped-back production. Honesty has always been central to her lyricism, laying her heart and soul out bare for the audience. That openness and relatability draw listeners in, inviting them to process their own experiences alongside Nazzy.
The beat dropped as Nazzy took to the stage, immediately capturing the crowd’s attention. Nazzy opened the show with one of her more laidback tracks, “Come Over.” She kept her voice soft but clear, unfiltered emotions pouring from her words. Gentle guitar paired with unyielding beats played through the speakers, giving Nazzy space to showcase her melodies. Even though the audience had come to the venue for a stand up show, they remained seated, fully locked into the performance onstage.
Nazzy kept the show stripped back, performing solo on stage for her set. She moved fluidly around the stage, commanding as much space as she could. Throughout the show, Nazzy highlighted different facets of her vocal range. At times her voice was almost strained with emotion, before easing back into a chill, melodic flow. Supported by syncopated, pounding bass and twinkling piano, the lyrics washed over the crowd.
Before bringing her onstage, Jones took a minute to tell the crowd a bit about Nazzy’s accomplishments and explain why he was so eager to work with her. She’s relentless, putting out albums in December 2025 and February 2026, and recently secured her own Pandora channel. Although she hasn’t announced any official tours or shows, fans can get their fill through her prolific catalog and music videos. She’s only just getting started.
