Nukky Gissom

Nukky Grissom is a hip-hop artist residing in Toronto ON, who has been steadily building an extensive discography over the last 2+ years.

Nukky began his hip-hop career after graduating from University; shortly after graduating he released his debut project, The Jimmy Cliff LP, in December 2009.

The mash-up record – entirely built around Jimmy Cliff samples – generally flew under the radar but still received positive reviews from those who did heard it, and provided enough momentum to lead into his next project, “Where Grissy Happens” – The Mixtape. Which he released in May 2010.

After the release of his first two projects as well as the 2010 NBA Preview Series, Nukky launched his official website – IAMGRISSY.COM – and hit the road performing a full sleight of shows which included Canadian Music Fest, Barrie New Music Fest as well as WhatsGoodToronto.com’s “The Prospects”, a multiple-round, performance-based competition in which he was a finalist.

With the release of IAMGRISSY – The EP last June(2011) which landed him a spot on College Music Journal’s Top-40 Hip-Hop charts, Nukky went on to shoot several videos for the project and just recently re-released the project with additional material, which is already garnering spins on commercial radio across Canada (CHR formatted stations).

Currently residing in Toronto, Nukky’s style has been described as a fusion between the catchy, commercial appeal of a guy like Travie McCoy and the raw truthful conviction of an artist like J. Cole and he feels it’s just a matter of time before he becomes a house hold name in the music industry.
