Some songs just play in the background, and some songs grab you by the shoulders and make you feel something. Nuk’s brand-new single “Top Tier”, produced by IFLIGHT, does exactly that. It’s sharp, raw, and motivational—the kind of track that fuels you while you’re chasing your own version of success.
“Top Tier” is more than a flex anthem. It’s Nuk declaring where he stands and where he’s headed. When he spits “Bitch I’m top tier, stop second guessin’,” it doesn’t sound like empty bravado. It feels like a declaration from someone who’s been through the grind, learned the lessons, and refuses to shrink himself. That’s what makes the track land so hard—it’s real.
The Story Behind Nuk
To understand the power of “Top Tier,” you need to know where Nuk comes from. Born in Brooklyn and now based in Delaware County, PA, he’s been chasing this dream since he was a kid. Writing lyrics at nine, recording music by fourteen—this isn’t a hobby for him. This is who he is.
And here’s the part that makes his music hit different: Nuk built himself up without the backing of a major label. His journey has been all about independence, hard work, and the support of people who believe in him. That’s why when you listen to “Top Tier,” it doesn’t sound like an act. It sounds like his life.
The Sound That Drives the Message
Producer IFLIGHT gives the song a beat that’s as urgent as Nuk’s delivery. Heavy bass, crisp trap drums, and a cinematic energy make it the perfect backdrop for his voice. It’s not flashy for the sake of it—it’s built to match the tone of someone speaking from experience.
What’s striking about Nuk’s flow is the balance. He’s confident, but never overreaching. He’s sharp, but still controlled. You hear grit in his delivery, but you also hear discipline. That combination makes the message believable: he’s not just talking about being top tier, he’s proving it.
A Hook That Sticks With You
The hook is as simple as it is powerful:
“Bitch I’m top tier, stop second guessin’
Standin’ on 10 toes everywhere that I go…”
It’s catchy, yes, but it’s also a mantra. If you’ve ever doubted yourself, if you’ve ever felt overlooked or underestimated, this is the line you repeat to yourself. That’s what makes the song feel less like Nuk’s story and more like ours. He’s sharing his grind, but he’s also inviting us to claim our own top-tier mindset.
Why “Top Tier” Matters
Plenty of rap songs brag about money, cars, and success, but few dig into the heart of what it takes to get there. Nuk isn’t romanticizing the hustle—he’s laying it out as it is: the scars, the distrust, the lonely moments, and the willpower to keep pushing. That’s why the song doesn’t just hit your ears—it hits your chest.
It’s already caught the attention of outlets like Los Angeles Wire, Artist Weekly, Honk Magazine, and NxtNow Music. The Hype Magazine even called it “a piece of motivation for everyone who listens.” And honestly, they’re right. This is more than a track—it’s fuel.

[Intro]
Let’s go
[Verse 1]
In the trenches count them Bluefaces
I had bust up some scams
‘Cause I don’t do minimum wages
I can’t rock with lames, Google me, I got a few pages
Collecting royalties from my streams
I need money out the anus
Popping bottle of that Roze, we get those by the cases
Ridin’ foreign whips, uh-uh, high maintenance
Bitch nigga must have bumped his head
Woke up feeling courageous
Thinking he can’t get burnt with the stainless
I play it how it go so it’s a must, I stay dangerous
My bitch like America’s Top Model, she ain’t basic
Daddys favorite, street credit A1 so I’m sanction
But I still keep the snakes from around me
I can’t trust them new faces
[Pre-Chorus]
Walking around with wires tapped, we do that
Name buzzing in the trap, never who that
I be trapping and finessing
Stacking bricks of the presis like Tetris
[Chorus]
Bitch I’m top teir stop, second guessin’
Standin’ on 10 toes everywhere that I go
Dont need to checkin’
Nigga fuck with me, he gon’ get his death wish
I’m a star shining bright like a necklace
You talking money stand on business then
When we sliding, we killing you and ya friends
A stray bullet hit a victim that ain’t no innocent man
[Verse 2]
Cashflow don’t stop, I run it up all around the clock
Pushing them birds by the flock
In the field with them soldiers
Don’t get outlined in whitechalk
Da Brodies would be feinin’ like crackheads
Go ahead get ya ass sparked
I get to the bag by my lonely, no million man march
I move dumb in the streets but I’m smart
I can peep that bullshit from afar
Learn from battles and scars
I put myself on when I got tired of reaching out to the stars
“You only live once,” that’s the motto
“To kill two birds with one stone,” I keep some hollows
‘Cause I fully understand niggas playing fair
Getback come with time
And I’ll make sure you drop more than a tear
Niggas say they don’t fuck with me I don’t care
Bitch made niggas like queers
Play with me be a roadkill ran over like a deer
If you never broke bread with me
While I was starving better not look for me to share
[Pre-Chorus]
Walking around with wires tapped we do that
Name buzzing in the trap never who that
I be trapping and finessing
Stacking bricks of the presis like Tetris
[Chorus]
Bitch I’m top teir stop, second guessin’
Standin’ on 10 toes everywhere that I go
Don’t need to checkin’
Nigga fuck with me, he gon’ get his death wish
I’m a star shining bright like a necklace
You talking money stand on business then
When we sliding, we killing you and ya friends
A stray bullet hit a victim that ain’t no innocent man
