About Me

YESTERDAY

Nadro, was born Jordan Ray Allen in New York, NY 1984. Growing up in the tail end of the 80's, the earlier form of Hip Hop crept into his ears. By the early 90's, he had been captured by a new sound. The sound of heavy drums and snares blessed with soft melodies that ranged from slow strings and jazzy tones. Artists such as, Gangstarr, Nas, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Erule, and A Tribe Called Quest were the starting points for Nadro's musical inspiration. As the mid 90's rolled around, music evolved and so did his taste in it. "Reasonable Doubt", by Jay-Z and Nas's "It Was Written", were two major albums that begged him to explore his musical abilities. Over the passing years, he was an "on again, off again rapper". By 2007, he decided to put his foot down as an artist and contribute to the world of Hip Hop. No longer solely interested in rapping, he jumped into the world of production. This would give him a chance to write music, while complimenting his vocals against his own instrumental preferences.

TODAY

Nadro has produced 97% of his debut album, entitled "Message In The Music". This was a homage to the producers and rappers that inspired him throughout the 90's. He has produced 99% of a remix album to Jay-Z's platinum selling "American Gangster". At the current moment, Nadro is busy at work writing lyrics and putting together solid instrumentals. He is open to working with artists who truly respect their craft. But more importantly, those who respect the originating artists who have helped pave the way for today's music opportunities.
