Nick Coleman

Born and raised in Mid-City Los Angeles, Nick Coleman is the Kid From LA. Growing up around the city's mix of sounds and cultures, he built a style that pairs the bounce and smoothness of West Coast G-Funk with the left-of-center edge of alternative rap. Think Larry June, Dom Kennedy, and Jay Worthy, pushed somewhere new. His catalog tracks that evolution. "Break Of Dawn" put him on tastemakers' radar. "Desert (Tonight)" and "Big Business," made with longtime collaborator The Adoni, blended West Coast and Southern hip-hop. The double single A Million And A Half Ways, with "Out The Zip" and "Dragon Tattoo," leaned into laid-back Cali hustle. His EP Up Against All Odds Vol. I and the single "Figure It Out" kept the momentum going. His newest, "OFFTHESHITZ," fuses California and Texas rap into a pure turn-up record. Nick's music has landed on Spotify's Fresh Finds Hip-Hop and Shisha Lounge, earned support from Ebro on Apple Music 1, and been featured by On The Radar, Saving Connie, and Sleeping On Gems. He has shared stages with rising acts across LA and New York. Off the mic, Nick co-founded OFFRIP, an LA-based management, distribution, and events company that champions some of independent music's most original voices. In 2026 he was inducted into the Recording Academy. Artist, creative director, and builder, Nick Coleman is leading a new wave in the underground, genre-blending alternative rap scene.
