NITESHINE THE ARTIST
Artist
Niteshine is pretty much known on the East Coast and on track to be just
as known across the country. Being a New Jersey native he grew up
listening to Rapper’s like Jay-Z, DipSet and Julez Santana. Early
in his teen years he found himself in an unfortunate situation that
ultimately lead to him to being behind bars for 3 years. Although this
was a setback it was also a time for him to self-reflect and figure out
what he wanted out of life. “I think when I went
to prison, I found that part of me, I always knew about it [music] but I
had time to play with it,” said Nite. Niteshine himself is truly
special and has grown overtime being in the music business. From his
name to his style of music, Individual is what
comes to mind when you start to describe him. For starters the name
Niteshine started as completely gang related and developed into his
brand of not being able to be defined. Nite (Night) + Shine (day) =
both. “Now my name means no label, no lane. You
can’t put me in a box, you can’t call me a rapper, [and] you can’t call
me a singer. You can’t call me anything but my name NiteShine. It’s
like night and day you never know what you’re going to get,” explained
Nite. His description of himself makes perfect
sense as you listen to his music. Sometime you get that gritty rap
sound about street life but then he can switch it up and bring smooth
melodies telling woman never to compromise themselves for a man.
Nite really puts his heart into his music. If he’s going through a
relationship it’s in the music, if shit not right with his team, it’s in
the music. His honesty and ability to not be
boxed in adds to the value he brings as an Artist.
Nite started
to pick up momentum with his career once he joined Let’s Roll Records
in 2013. With Let’s Roll Niteshine experienced much success. During his
time he dropped 2 albums and various singles including “Gary
Coleman” that was played on Hot 97.1 by DJ Drewski and Power 105.1
played by DJ Self and DJ Envy. Both stations are the ti-states biggest
urban radio stations; not only was this a great moment for Nite but for
his hometown too. “N**** was going crazy,
my song being played on the radio, that shit was lit,” shared Nite.
His run with
Let’s Roll Records lasted from 2013 to the summer of 2019, then he
dropped “Free Agent”. The lyrics clearly spoke on him parting ways with
his long time label. Literally the first bar stated “No More
Let’s Roll N****”. It came as a surprise to most, but Niteshine
actually had the opportunity to leave the label sooner and sign a
RocNation Distribution Deal. That deal was never finalized. It came
down to not being able to follow through with an abrupt
request from Roc Nation. Nite did not let yet another setback stop him.
It motivated him to go harder. Nite is still preforming, traveling and
of course making more music. He started working with new management,
Jimmie S. but decided it was best to
work with those who been around since the beginning of his career. His
new but old team has been holding him down and accountable to the hustle
since his disband with Jimmie.
On Oct 19 he
announced a new album on the way and has since been dropping snippets
on his Instagram. He just shot a New Music Video for "House N****" and will be following up with another video for "Codeine". Both videos will be dropping soon. His focus is to keep the momentum of his independent
career and work towards creating his own record label. Niteshine
keeps an eye on opportunities with other labels but would always be a
decision that has to make sense. To keep up with all music from
