Nitrx0 is a name that’s quickly making waves in the music scene. His sound fuses rap, rock, and pop, showcasing a bold, personal, and experimental approach to music. In today’s interview, we discuss Nitrx0’s creative process, influences, and his latest album, Baby Nitro.
Who Is Nitrx0?
At his core, Nitrx0’s nonchalant nature transforms into a force of nature when he steps onto the stage. “Sharing my music with the world is the greatest feeling to me.” Describing his sound as a mix of “psychedelic rage and toxic love songs,” Nitrx0 is constantly pushing the boundaries of his creativity. He’s not confined to one genre or style. “I experiment with my sound every day, creating new atmospheres within my lane,” he says. His versatility is evident in his musical evolution, blending rap, rock, and pop influences into a cohesive yet ever-evolving sonic identity. His latest project, Baby Nitro, showcases how far he’s pushing the envelope of genre and artistic freedom.

From Moorestown to the World
Hailing from Moorestown, New Jersey, a small town where rap artists are few and far between, Nitrx0’s journey has been challenging. “I’m really the only rap artist that I’ve heard of coming from here,” he notes. “I had to find artists around NJ that I’m creatively compatible with through the years.” Despite the small-town roots, Nitrx0 has carved out a space for himself in the music industry by embracing the diverse influences that shaped his musical tastes.

His mother’s love for R&B music was a key influence in his early years, but the Atlanta trap scene ultimately captured his attention and sparked his creativity. “Meeting Destin Miles at a party 3 years ago definitely helped spark a battery in me to push myself forward as a recording artist,” he says. This meeting would form a lasting partnership, with Nitrx0 and Destin Miles collaborating on numerous tracks, further shaping his musical journey.
The Creative Process
Regarding his creative process, Nitrx0 embraces an unfiltered, raw approach. “I record most of my music at my home studio, usually alone in the dark in my thoughts,” he reveals. This introspective setting allows him to tap into his emotions and channel his creativity without distractions. To help get into the zone, Nitrx0 typically enjoys a joint and a drink of Casamigos, setting the stage for his improvisational style.

Freestyling is central to his process. “I freestyle all of my songs and punch in lines,” he says. “I never write my songs because that takes too long for me to get the idea out.” This spontaneous method gives his music a fresh, authentic feel, allowing him to express his thoughts and emotions as they come to him—without overthinking or overplanning.
The State of the Live Music Scene
Reflecting on the current state of the live music scene, Nitrx0 notes the progress that artists are making in gaining exposure and connecting with their audiences. “I feel like the live music scene has made great strides in the last few years,” he says. “People are getting more of a spotlight on them than before.” He notes a change in the New Jersey music community, as local artists once felt isolated. “But I’ve definitely seen a change recently,” he says. “Artists are coming together, supporting each other, and creating a stronger community.”
Influences and Collaborations
Nitrx0’s music is influenced by his personal experiences and the talented artists surrounding him. His creative partner, Destin Miles, is among his closest collaborators. “We’ve made hundreds of songs together,” Nitrx0 shares. He’s inspired by all musicians with unique sounds and a deep understanding of their craft.

“Roman Ricardo is my favorite musician I’ve met,” Nitrx0 says. “He’s made great strides in his guitar, synth, and piano playing. He’s one of my day ones, and we started producing together.” Nitrx0 also mentions Tom Mussain, a close friend, with whom he’s made several tracks. “He’s featured on my new album, and we’ve created a lot of magic together.”
Highlighting “Baby Nitro“
Nitrx0’s latest album, Baby Nitro, dropped this past September with nine songs and a 22-minute runtime. This is the best project Nitrx0 has released to date. My favorite song, Money Dance, has elements of the classic trap sounds and a more contemporary spin from Nitrx0. “This album is the best of me…I wanted to create something representing my youthfulness, joy, pain, sadness, and optimism.” Nitrx0 says. This record captures the highs and lows of life with an energy that mirrors Nitrx0’s journey of self-expression and discovery.
Nitrx0’s journey is a testament to the power of embracing one’s individuality and pushing the boundaries of artistic expression. From his roots in Moorestown, NJ, to the eclectic and experimental sound he’s crafting today, Nitrx0 is on a path to make his mark on the music world.
