This is the first official release from Nappy Boy Entertainment
Chayo Nash is the first artist to sign to T-Pain’s new label - Nappy Boy Entertainment.
The rising star released his latest single, titled “The Beach.” The cut is a clear indication of Nash’s
evolution since he first started making music over a decade ago. As Nash enters this next phase in his
career, he maintains his mantra of authenticity, telling stories that connect to his fans on a deeper level.
The single is paired with lyrics that tell a poignant story. It’s the very thread of authenticity and honesty
that’s been woven throughout Chayo Nash’s entire catalog and has secured his loyal fan base. “I went
through phases of addiction, anger, and I channel that all into my music,” he adds. “My fans to this day
say some of my older stuff has changed their lives.”
T-Pain quotes “This is one of my favorite songs from him. He dropped the audio on my birthday which
couldn’t have been a better present. I’ve been speaking with Chayo for a long time now about signing
him so it's pretty damn cool that it is all finally happening.”

About Chayo Nash
Chayo Nash’s childhood was spent moving through various cities, taking a piece of each with him along
the way. Starting in Chicago, Nash moved down to Jacksonville, Florida and divided his time between
there and Brazil once his parents divorced. “I got roasted in Florida for my thick Chicago accent,” he
recalls with a laugh. Though in that pocket of Florida that heralds Southern music, Nash began to
diversify his palate.
With his father being a Temptations and Bob Marley fan and his mother loving gospel (“Church was
basically my day care.”), Nash had a wide variety of sounds travelling into his obit; not to mention, living
part-time in Brazil and learning about its rich musical history. His love of hip-hop was also mixed in, from
Outkast to T-Pain, and his childhood dabbling with making music would later manifest itself into a
full-fledged career.
“I remember the first song I made at nine years old,” Nash remembers, detailing his piecing together of
equipment to record. By 15, he was collaborating with local kids, though by college it really all came
together. “College is where it really turned into something,” he says. “That was when I took that step,
like ‘I’m really a rapper.’”
Nash began touring on the strength of his local buzz, as he dominated areas like his hometown of
Jacksonville, along with Orlando and his college town of Tallahassee. He shared stages with the likes of
Big Sean and A$AP Rocky, making new fans at every show. At the time he was signed to Miami’s Bacardi Records / Rum Bum, though that would soon change.
He aligned with Nappy Boy Entertainment’s Young Cash, who added Nash to his Winsquad roster. “He’s
like my big brother,” Nash says of Cash. “I really needed some direction.” Once Cash introduced Chayo to
T-Pain, a friendship was seamlessly formed. At the beginning of 2020, Chayo Nash officially signed to
Nappy Boy Entertainment and the work is just getting started.
As Chayo Nash continues to lean into 2020, he’ll continue releasing singles, videos which include some
pretty impressive features. With all of that going on, he keeps one goal in mind. “I want to create
something to touch people and move people,” he says. “My music tells my story.”
