Nino Paid

A rapper from Landover, Maryland, Jacquan Andrews aka Nino Paid (born August 14, 2001), made a name for himself under the moniker Zeal. He debuted as a teenager and released his debut track "Change" on August 9, 2017, before keeping a low profile for nearly five years. Returning from a turbulent youth that included a stint in juvenile detention, he reappeared as Nino Paid and recorded several tracks released in 2023, before tackling his nineteen-track debut album, Can't Go Bacc (2024), including a new version of his signature track, "Pain & Possibilities 2". The rapper, signed to Columbia-affiliated Signal Records, proves prolific with the myriad singles released in 2024, as well as collaborations with Yung Dizzy, Jaeychino and Main CG, BabyChiefDoit and Plaqueboymax. In 2025, he contributed to Warhol.ss' "5 Star B*tch" and invited Chow Lee on "Regylar Type". After the release of his second album Love Me as I Am (2025), the single "Tree on the Hill (Lunch Break Freestyle)" with Lyrical Lemonade reaches No. 25 in the Rap Songs charts.
