Pouya, Kxllswxtch & Fat Nick - They Could Never Make Me Tour

Pouya's breakthrough came with the 'Baby Bone' EP highlight, "Get Buck," a track so relentless and combative that it lacked space for a hook. The title of the 2013 album referenced the rapper's nickname and his love for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. While the influence of that groundbreaking melodic rap group is palpable throughout Pouya's discography, the Miami-born rapper's highly personal and creative lyrics, combined with his easy adaptability to the widely varying approaches of his producers, have always made him stand out.
