Intro into rapping
Using his following, he began rapping freestyle on Xbox Live parties with some of his buddies, and they ended up forming the YBN (Young Boss Niggas) Collective. At 15, he went to upload his first song on YouTube, Hood Mentality. The song did not do very well, but Nahmir kept at it and uploaded several other songs on YouTube, followed by a couple of mixtapes on SoundCloud.
Topping charts
On September 18th, 2017, his big break came when he uploaded one of his songs on World Star HipHop's YouTube channel called Rubbin Off the Paint. The song was an instant hit at the time and went viral almost immediately. Currently, it is almost at 200 million views on YouTube. His success resulted in him being removed from school. The song peaked at 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Nahmir recalls the day he recorded his first hit song. He was frustrated that his brother was in jail; he was feuding with a neighbour and felt like a lot was happening. So he let out his frustration in the track. He then proceeded to record a video for only $150 for the song. Soon after, Chris Brown complimented the song on Instagram, and Vince Staples even released a remix of the track.
Some of his most notable tracks since Rubbin Off the Paint include 2 Seater, a song that features two famous rappers, Offset and G-Eazy. Another viral song is Opp Stoppa, which was released in 2021, featuring a renowned rapper, 21 Savage. He also released a song with the City Girls and Tyga called Fuck It Up. YBN Nahmir latest song was released on 18th September 2021, titled Militant, and it gathered over 90,000 views in just one day.
