Nino Paid's music manages to be blunt, candid, and tender at the same time. His hit “Play This At My Funeral,” a melancholic ode to life and loss against soft acoustic beats, explores trauma from different angles: his birth parents, the loss of his step dad, and an endless cycle of trials and tribulations. ⁠ ⁠ “I know how it feel when you try your hardest all year / And you still got nothin’ to show,” he raps, but he also expresses gratitude for how far he’s come. “I never thought I’d be able to jump on stage / And people would know my song (Damn) / I spent twenty-two years in this world / And I’m hopin’ I still got twenty-two more on the clock.”⁠ ⁠ Read our GEN F profile at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✍️ Kaila Philo⁠ 📸 kynakool⁠ ⁠ #GENF #NinoPaid
