Nobel Is A War Prize

Written by Kui Mwai

Kurdistan-born, NOVA-bred new wave rap artist Nobel brings a refreshing take to the Rap/R&B sounds we know and love. He reflects and represents what this country is and meant to be. Born during the Iraq war, Nobel and his family were refugees, finding refuge in the Northern Virginia area. His early influences came from the heavy hitters of 90s rap: Tupac and Bone Thugs N Harmony, to name a few. The observant and intrinsically artistic Nobel quickly understood that the power of music lies in the truth. He started writing poetry, which quickly evolved into spoken word and rap lyrics. As he’s evolved as an artist, his influences included artists in alternative music and rock. That new wave energy palpable in his music today.

Through fruitful collaborations and a shared vision, Nobel built a movement called Project Remedy. Their paramount goal is to show their fellow Kurds that they can succeed in the industry, dream big, and achieve great heights. Project Remedy is focused on sharing the struggle of their people, and show the world their strength, beauty, and uniqueness.

Nobel’s debut album is in the works and highly anticipated. The record will compromise 10 songs expressing his observations and experiences. The album will introduce audiences to who Nobel is in the inside. This exciting new artist has a lot to offer, and we can’t wait to see how his music and message steers the industry into the future.
