NEMS x Mac Lethal: Don’t Ever Disrespect Me Tour

The Cooperage welcomes NEMS and Mac Lethal on the Don’t Ever Disrespect Me Tour!

“For 20 years, I’ve been preparing myself for this point,” admits Nems. In 2021, the Brooklyn MC with a respected catalog, decorated battle history, and worldwide FYL merchandise brand created a new wave of attention through trademarking “Bing Bong.” The New York Knicks used his catchphrase, and Nems’ voice appeared over a billion times on TikTok. He rapidly cultivated a new fanbase that discovered Nems had made great music and videos for years. The artist offered his latest album, CONGO, which showed Gorilla Nems as king of his jungle. Since then, the unofficial mayor of Coney Island has expanded into stand-up comedy, hosting a season of REVOLT’s The Crew League, and tripled his social following. “It’s not just about being a good rapper,” says the artist whose FYL merch brand has made over a million dollars in two years. “There are great rappers that suck because they can’t structure a song or relate to people. I’ve survived situations just to let people know that you can make it out; I’m the proof.”
