AmirSaysNothing is here to bring middle ground to the extremes of the rap game.

Born Amir Tillard, his debut album, 2016’s Employee of the Month, showcases Amir’s lyrical abilities over hard East Coast production. The project got looks from Noisey and HipHopDX, among others, and then helped propel him to the next level of his career.

AmirSaysNothing’s Medium Rare EP, released in 2015, was his formal introduction into the rap game after freestyling with his homies in high school to impress girls as the life of the party. The title track was made just for fun and the response was strong enough to encourage Amir to hone his craft.

His career has been spurred on by the likes of Atmosphere’s Slug and Run the Jewels’ Killer Mike. Amir also has a writing credit on Evidence’s highly-anticipated album, Weather or Not.

Amir prides himself on using his music to tell honest stories and share observations about the world around him. The death of a good friend on his 22nd birthday gave him a renewed motivation to find purpose for his art and life. He seeks to be an example for his listeners to be themselves, especially if they feel they have nothing to say.

Everything is nothing. Nothing is everything.
