Nitty Scott, MC (born Nitzia Scott) is an American Hip hop music artist. Her Mission statement is, “to be apart of a movement and not an industry, to be socially responsible and charitable with her influence, to inspire art and educated listeners, to be praised by critical acclaim, and to document an era via the written word.” She has been compared to artists such as MC Lyte and Lauryn Hill.

Early Life
Though she was born in Michigan, Nitzia Scott was raised in Orlando, Florida. As a child she had a passion for two things: Writing and Music. She attended an arts school in Florida as a creative writing major.

Musical Career
At the age of 14, Nitty’s passion for writing and her love of music compelled her to make a music demo that she circulated “around all the local bars and clubs, even anywhere that sold hip-hop clothing.” After a positive reception, Nitty Scott began her Hip Hop career under the name Lady Hard body. Upon further consideration, she decided that the name did not fit her and she eventually renamed herself Nitty Scott. Because of the limited opportunities in Orlando, 17 year old Nitty made the ambitious decision to move to New York City to pursue her music career, which she had always dreamed of doing. In 2011, Nitty performed at the 2011 BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher with singer/rapper Estelle, and has since had an increase in popularity. She released her free EP, Doobies x Popsicles on November 11, 2011. The mix tape featured appearances from artists such as Mick Boogie, 6th Sense and Tanya Morgan. Nitty represents the management company, Just The Way I Was Raised Music, founded by her manager.

The Boombox Family is a community of progressive artists focused on creating organic and message driven Hip hop. Promoting substance in mainstream entertainment, the community is composed of like-minded artists including in-house recording artist, producers, engineers, and DJ’s as well as filmmakers, fashion and graphic designers.
