Dallas, Texas, amidst the bustling streets and vibrant culture, NWG Suave, a moniker he’d earned through years of life experience, and his real name, Rico, which he held onto with a sense of nostalgia. NWG Suave of many talents, and his journey from being a first-round draft pick for the NFL in 2020 to pursuing a career in music was nothing short of extraordinary.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city, NWG Suave leaned back in his studio chair. The dimly lit room was filled with an aura of creativity, where music flowed like a river. He stared at the microphone in front of him, the instrument of his liberation. Music, he had found, was his therapy.
“I’m already that boy. I’m doing music for my mental health.” says Suave, in a recent interview. “And I’m good at anything I do. I’ve already proved that. As I do music I find other things I like. I’ve only wanted to play football my whole life. I didn’t know I was good at anything else. I know how to work, it’s easy for me.”
Music had become his refuge, a place where he could express himself freely, a stark contrast to the relentless pressure of professional football. His journey into music had been unplanned, almost serendipitous. “I’m already that boy. I’m doing music for my mental health. And I’m good at anything I do. I’ve already proved that,” he explained.
NWG Suave’s transition from the gridiron to the recording booth was fueled by a newfound passion. He’d always been known as an exceptional athlete, but as he poured his emotions and experiences into his lyrics, he discovered a different kind of power within himself. “This music s* is easy,” he said with a grin.
His music was a reflection of his life — raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal. He often spoke about his kids, his three reasons for pursuing this new path. “They ain’t asked to be here, so I’m responsible for their development. I have to show them they can do whatever it is they want,” he declared with unwavering determination.
NWG Suave’s music was a blend of melodic rap and rockstar vibes, a unique combination that set him apart in the industry. He had no need for written lyrics; he simply talked to the microphone, letting his thoughts flow freely.
“I have 3 kids and it’s my responsibility for their development, my transition from the field to the studio is just showing them they can do whatever it is they want,” he said. He aimed to break through the media’s portrayal of him and reveal the man behind the headlines.
His greatest achievement, though, was not the fame or the accolades; it was the opportunity to rediscover himself. “I’m out here to be around family,” he said. “I spent a lot of time alone, going through things, and I’m just now getting back to myself.”
As the days passed, NWG Suave continued to pour his heart and soul into his music, collaborating with artists who shared his vision. “I liked Michael Jackson, 50 Cent, and now I f* with NBA Youngboy,” he shared, revealing his diverse musical influences.
With each new project, NWG Suave invited his audience to take a journey with him, to experience life through his eyes and emotions. He teased upcoming releases, promising a glimpse into the chapters of his life that remained untold.
“I’ve been working on my brand Net-Way and mainly playing my part also as a manager for my artists. We plan on releasing music every weekend,” he said, leaving his fans eagerly awaiting his next musical endeavor.
As the city of Dallas slumbered in the embrace of the night, NWG Suave’s studio remained alive with creativity. His music echoed through the dimly lit room, a testament to the journey of a man who had transformed his pain into art, his past into inspiration, and his dreams into reality.
