Early life

Nuru spent most part of his childhood years in Accra, Ghana and later lived and completed his basic education in Tamale, Ghana; thus, attending three basic schools in total. Sakumono School Complex, Abe Halperin School Complex and Kanvilli Presbyterian School respectively. He proceeded to Prempeh College for his senior high school education.

Music

He has released the following singles; Born To Win, Hawa and Mali Zani. However, Nuru's debut album will be released in 2016. The reason why Nuru is considered a unique artiste is mainly based on three fold of reasons; Local dialect he raps with, his rhythmic flow and his lyrical inclination. He has been a lot more relevant within the northern parts of Ghana as they commonly speak the local language he raps in.

Blog

In 2013, Nuru solely started www.hypegh.com which he incorporated later under his MAC Media Group company registration name. He also contributes to content on other blogs in Ghana. Through his work as a publicist, he has had the opportunity to work with Efya, Edem, Kwame Yeboah, Sarkodie, Hammer of The Last Two, M.anifest, among others.
