Nuckles

Nasser Dajani is the real name of the musician. He was born in Dubai in 1997, but he is the son of Palestinian refugees from the Gaza Strip. Nuckles has been heavily influenced by Chief Keef and the Chicago drill scene. Other inspirations included "DMX", "Waka Flocka" and "50 Cent" who he would always listen to. He recalls his childhood in a small city where Islam and Sharia law were prevalent. Being a fan of these artists did not help him stay out of trouble in a predominantly Islamic country. He says that while growing up, he was never accepted by people. This led him to change the way he dealt with people and he soon learned to depend on himself and forego the concept of trust. He faced difficult situations which were not disclosed, but apparently led to him changing completely multiple times. This all changed for the better when he met new people who truly cared for him. One of them was a Palestinian and two were from Grozny, Chechnya. From that point on, he was introduced to many new people from Russia and CIS, who accepted him for the way he was. Developing a strong bond and a brotherhood, he considered those people family and he would never be seen alone anymore. Nuckles said that they have been through thick and thin, and that nothing could ever come close to being as valuable as the family-like bond they had in their circle. Nuckles has been making music since he was 13 years old but he never succeeded. He claims it was due to lack of experience and a generic style of rapping. This made him quit rapping and focus on making money. The turning point in his career came after being stabbed in a violent altercation relating to his undisclosed previous work, which he had been working in since he was 12 years old. Nuckles finally put all of his anger in a song under the name "FOMF" dedicated to the person who stabbed him, leaving a huge scar on his stomach. Nuckles has stated numerous times that he is proud of the scar, and attributed it to the nature of his work. His song "FOMF" quickly gained attention due to his unique sound and due to the video brazenly showing off the injury the day it happened. His other works include "HABIBI", "971", "My Squad", "HARASS ME", "DRACO".
