Career

At the age of eight, Nick Minucci got signed with a local talent agency named Little Stars. Years later, he was given a small role in the first episode of HBO show ‘The Sopranos.’ After this, he didn’t take up any acting work and decided to enter the rap scene along with his school friend Kevin Pouya. The two went on to make freestyle rap videos and comedic content for their ‘Nick and Pouya Show.’ During this time, Minucci stepped out of his comfort zone and began to compose music independently. He also started touring across the country and eventually built up an audience for his music.

Soon, Minucci and Pouya formed a duo called Buffet Boys and began creating music together as well as independently as solo artistes. Their popular collaborative album called ‘Drop Out of School’ earned them a moderate degree of recognition. In 2015, Minucci, now known as Fat Nick, came up with his debut solo album ‘Fat Camp’ which was followed by ‘When the Lean Runs Out.’ On June 8, 2018, the rapper released his latest composition ‘Generation Numb,’ which featured the hit singles “Ice Out” and “WTF”. His other popular singles include “Drop Em Off”, “TTYL”, "Oh Its Lit ", "Hate on Me", "Stay Alive ", "Middle of the Mall " and "Too Much ", to name a few.
