MobSquad Nard drops another new record. This time Nard freestyles over Young Greatness' hit record "Moolah." The Duval, Fla. native is gearing up to release his second mixtape Nardo Da'Vinci, which is dropping February 2017. Lil Boosie, G-Herbo, The Mobsquad and more make guest appearances and Young Chop, Elevator Jay and Fames Sinatra handles the production.

At the top of the year, XXL caught up with MobSquad Nard to learn about his journey in the rap game. The Jacksonville native told us that he owes it all to his cousin.

“I really started taking rapping seriously when I got the motivation and people started pushing me,” Nard said. “We just really used to make music in our spare time, just trying to get right at it and be great at it. When people started saying, ‘Oh that nice, y’all like some of the rawest.’ I probably wouldn’t have been rapping if it wasn’t for my cousin and it wasn’t for my family the MobSquad. We stuck at it and we got good at it, real good at it. To the point where it was just a no brainer to who had the talent. It was just second nature.”
