As the sun sets over the iconic cityscapes of Los Angeles, a new star is rising from the heart of Watts: Derrick Strickland, known in the music world as Upallnyt. With his latest release, this prolific lyricist, singer, and rapper is making waves far beyond the neighborhoods that shaped his early years.
Upallnyt’s musical journey began a decade ago, rooted in the vibrant yet challenging environment of Watts, California. “I’ve been making music for ten years,” Upallnyt shares. “I started because the beat just spoke to me, and I found a freedom in letting it guide my style.” His sound is as eclectic as it is compelling, meticulously crafted to complement the essence of each instrumental backdrop.
With musical inspirations that include legends like Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Prince, Sade, and Lil Wayne, Upallnyt is no stranger to the diverse influences that shape his unique sound. These artists, renowned for their unparalleled styles and genre-defying music, have left an indelible mark on Upallnyt, urging him to carve out his own distinct path in the industry.
His discography is already capturing attention. Upallnyt's debut EP, *Mandated*, is a powerful narrative of his life growing up in Watts, articulated through seven tracks that blend raw honesty with rhythmic innovation. The project features collaborations with fellow artist @yelohill, adding layers of depth to the already rich tapestry of Upallnyt's storytelling. Fans can immerse themselves in the auditory journey of Watts through the EP available on Apple Music.
But *Mandated* is just the beginning. It was followed by a full-length album, *Up*, showcasing the evolution of Upallnyt's artistry and his relentless pursuit of sound that transcends traditional boundaries. Each release from Upallnyt further cements his place in the music scene as a forward-thinking artist with the courage to push creative limits.
Currently, Upallnyt has no scheduled events, allowing fans to anticipate what new creative direction he might take next. His journey from the storied streets of Watts to the broader music world is one of resilience, innovation, and unmistakable talent.
For those eager to follow Upallnyt's ascent, he invites fans to connect with him on Instagram @upallnyt_official for the latest updates and insights into his creative process. And as his music continues to evolve, so too does his impact on audiences, both familiar and new.
Upallnyt's journey is a testament to the power of authenticity and musical exploration—a reminder that the stories we tell through music can resonate far beyond our origins, reaching listeners around the globe. As he continues to blaze his trail in the music industry, one thing is certain: Upallnyt is a name we’ll be hearing much more of in the years to come.
