Born as Horace Bernard Walls III, Wick is a rapper from Jacksonville, Florida and one of the fastest rising stars in the world of Hip-Hop.

Later that same year, Oct. 8, Wick released another version of “Who Want Smoke?” featuring fellow rappers G Herbo, Lil Durk and 21 Savage.
This new version became popular through TikTok and it debuted at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100. It became certified triple platinum by the RIAA.
This song both gave the rapper his first charting song and his first song that received a certification.
Nov. 29, 2021, Wick released the single “Me or Sum,” which featured rappers Future and Lil Baby. It was the second single from his album “Who is Nardo Wick?” and peaked at No. 58 on Billboard Hot 100. It was also certified double platinum.
