"The thing about Nadirah X is she's just not normal, she has the ability to articulate what probably every woman is feeling with such strength and such passion that her words at first when you read them feels like bombardment of the senses. Then when you start to get into them and it's like comfort.”
Dave Stewart

Never From Nowhere

Nadirah X- Nobody's Coming  feat. Olaf Blackwood

Nadirah X -  “There is an incantation contained in the rhythms of her flow and the effect is powerful and purifying. To get this much from an artist is a gift of a qualitative kind, not a pleasant distraction, but a nourishing encounter with the elevated intentions of a true poet."  
Grammy award-winning producer Glenn Ballard (Alanis Morrisette, Michael Jackson, Aerosmith).
After winning numerous accolades and awards in her home of Jamaica, Nadirah (aka Nadz) moved to Los Angeles where she has continued to shine. Her debut album INK was released in Europe via Magic records Poland. The single Here it Comes (featuring the Eurythmics sample Here Comes The Rain Again) landed at #9 on the top most played songs in Poland among other charts across Europe. She is the only rapper to have written and performed with the legendary Annie Lennox (on her solo album Songs Of Mass Destruction) Their song Womankind is featured in the movie The Women. She has written and performed with Mick Jagger on the Golden Globe award-winning score to the feature film Alfie. Nadirah has also produced two books of poetry with forewords and introductions from Deepak Chopra, Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Tim Kring (creator of Heroes TV show), and Bruce Rubin (writer of the acclaimed movie Ghost). She is currently working with luminaries of the hip hop world including Charli 2na (Jurassic 5) and Bishop Lamont (Aftermath) and Ant Live (Public Enemy)

“Prolific, introspective, and uplifting. Her words wrap around you like a warm blanket and make you want to break out the incense, a cup of tea and take it all in.”  
Simone Kelly

“Nadirah X was a singular voice, a woman of exceeding passion, committed to unearthing the truth of the human experience.   Her love, her anger, her righteousness, her pain, her fear, her faith, all steamed out of everything she wrote. It was impossible not to be caught in the vapors of her vision, lifted up by her unrelenting grip on truth” 
Bruce Rubin  Screenwriter,  GHOST, JACOB’S LADDER, MY LIFE, DEEP IMPACT, THE TIME TRAVELERS WIFE and others.

"Nadirah X has the rare talent of connecting deeply, soulfully and uncompromisingly with an audience. We all know of her gifts as spoken word/rap artist.  But it is her astonishing sense of intimacy with the camera that caught my attention.” 
TIm Kring Creator of the acclaimed tv shows, Heroes, The Dig, Crossing Jordan and others.
