Coming straight out of Maryland, 19 year old hip-hop artist, Noraa, is the newest addition to the up and coming DMV movement. Born in Philly, Noraa settled down in Howard County, MD and found himself surrounded by family and friends who shared the same passion and love for music as he did. Driven by desire and encouraged by like-minded artists, Noraa started to make a name for himself in the MD rap circuit.
His music and stylistic flow has been described as “smooth, laid back & truthful but with mainstream pop lyrics.” The description of his music, according to his site, is truly a reflection of his personality and influences. In his words, “Music should reflect who you are, what you have been through, and how you feel. I believe life should be enjoyed to the fullest and with every experience I go through I find the positive. You truly get that feeling when you listen to my music”.
Noraa has been able to showcase his talent and collaborate with many great artists such as Young Scrap, Future Sounds and Zee of Pre Historic. Recently Noraa has released his first Instrumental mix tape entitled “My Girls” where every track is named after a specific female.
