Raised in Harborview, Florida by his father, rising star MobSquad Nard began rapping in fifth grade and went on to be a part of the Cinematic Music Group roster. Aside from Bow Wow he was influenced by the likes of Juvenile and Trick Daddy, but out of all the people he's looked up to he can't seem to shake the Boosie comparison. "I understand because I came up off Boosie's music - I'm talking way back," Nard shared with us during our exclusive interview.

In the days surrounding the interview rumors began to fly that Mob Squad Nard will be a part of this year's Smoker's Club Tour, a concert held annually with some of Nard's labelmates set as headliners. "It's just getting started," the newcomer promised after confirming his spot on the 2016 lineup. "I'll be there, most definitely. I'm coming to show up and show out."
