Nasir Frederick Graham, better known by his stage name Driicky Graham, is an American rapper from Oxford, North Carolina. He is currently signed to the independent record labels Nu World Era Music Group and E1 Music.
Although Graham began rapping at the age of 14, he did not view it as a serious career option until he signed to the independent record label Nu World Era Music Group when he turned 17. After building up a strong online following, Graham achieved commercial success in 2012 with his single "Snapbacks & Tattoos", which received heavy airplay on many major radio stations throughout the United States and peaked at number 73 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Following the success of "Snapbacks & Tattoos", many major record labels attempted to sign Graham, including Epic and Interscope: however, Graham instead decided to sign to independent label E1 Music, as he felt they would give him more attention. His first mixtape, Ya Gotta Start Somewhere, was released on June 26, 2012. Graham also made an appearance on a BET Cypher during the 2012 BET Hip Hop Awards in October alongside ASAP Rocky, Angel Haze, Childish Gambino and Joey Badass. His latest single is entitled, "We Up".
