Grills have become a defining visual element of hip-hop’s narrative and whilst we could list 100 rappers to sport the dental jewellery we’ve selected the most influential individuals to do so.

Grills in the 80s

The culture & tradition of grills can be seen during the earlier foundational years by acts like Flava Flav and Slick Rick.

Beyond their music, their appearance became statements and that continues to be seen amongst the list below as well as their peers, Hip Hop has always been about making a statement.

Here are the 10 Most Influential Rappers with Grills

Nelly

“Smile for me daddy, What you looking at?, Let me see ya grill, Let you see my what?”

You most likely sang the lyrics and if that’s not evidence of influence I’m not sure what is. Whilst Nelly was by no means the 1^st to sport grills he create the anthem.

Nelly’s catchy hook further propelled grills into the spotlight, making them a must-have accessory for anyone looking to make a bold statement.

Paul Wall

Houston, known for its unique hip-hop scene, played a pivotal role in bringing grills to the forefront.

And at the heart of this movement was Paul Wall, whose affinity for grills were seen on music videos at every single opportunity.  

Houston’s influence in the world of grills is a testament to the city’s ability to shape and redefine hip-hop aesthetics, that’s why we later saw acts like Asap Rocky taking on Houston influences and applying it to new York.

Lil Wayne

Wayne’s influence is deserving of its own category but for the sake of this write up we will concise it down into a few words, Rappers today are influenced by Wayne.

the SoundCloud era artists often site him for his style whilst mimicking his likeness which often involved a large variety of Rappers with Face Tattoos and grills.

Birdman

Bald rappers tend to accentuate other aspects of their face, one of the most common would be growing out a beard, but when your stunna, that’s means grills.

Like father, like son, Birdman’s dental dazzle was a visual representation of their musical camaraderie and the larger-than-life presence they brought to the hip-hop scene.

Lil Yachty

To match Lil Yachty Braids in red we often times saw him sporting colourful grills.

The obsession with jewellery and wealth in hip-hop extended to the teeth, and Lil Yachty embraced this fully.

Interestingly, Lil Yachty could also be seen without his grills, choosing to flaunt his natural teeth in contrast to the bling-obsessed trend which happens mostly at the start of his career.

Kodak Black

Kodak Black’s journey to hip-hop stardom brought with it a distinctive wicks dreads and in combination grills that became part of his signature look.

While Kodak’s career has been marked by ups and downs, his dental bling remains a constant reminder of his unapologetic authenticity.

Quavo

Similar aesthetics help convey a sense of unity within the group which would explain Quavo and other members of the Migos sporting grills together.

It visually reinforces the idea migos look alike and sound alike, sharing a common purpose and vision which is why we loved the group together.

This unity contributes to a stronger group identity and fosters a sense of camaraderie among the members

Asap Rocky

Houston rap culture lives on and that’s evident by artists like Rocky using imagery to showcase grills in creative ways.

D.M.B is a perfect example of this, from the creative direction, to the lyrics, Rocky love for grills is evident, even seen wore by Rhianna in multiple shots on the video.

Pharrell

Pharrell’s influence on hip-hop goes beyond music – it extends to fashion and culture.

His ability to seamlessly weave different styles and trends into his personal brand is what makes him stand out. Pharrell’s the type of artist to sport grills with a 3 piece suit and still have it look sharp.

Gucci Mane

No discussion of influential rappers and grills would be complete without mentioning Gucci Mane.

Some of the most iconic Gucci mane images features his grills as he smiled at the camera, it create this allure around him, who is he, how rich is he and how much of the rap game will he take.

3 Important Factors to consider before getting grills:

1. Personal Style and Comfort
   Grills are a bold statement and if that’s what you want to communicate to the world theirs nothing wrong with that, just remember not all cultures and people embrace this.

1. Long-Term Commitment
   Grills tend to be semi-permanent and you have the decision to make. They require regular maintenance. Make sure you can afford to keep them clean but more important see a professional.

1. Professional and Social Implications
   Assess how grills might impact your professional life and social interactions. Depending on your field and social circles, grills may be well-received or raise eyebrows.

Lil Uzi Vert

Chances are high for nose piercings when you decide to get a $24 million natural pink diamond implanted into forehead, This is just so Uzi like!

Part of the appeal around emo rap is the image that comes along with it, it’s a distinctive look that massively differs from the traditional Hip Hop Look.

Rappers with Nose Rings wasn’t such a popular trend in the 90s, today it’s the look.

Future

Men who value fashion sometimes choose to wear a nose ring as a way to enhance their overall appearance and create a distinctive look which Future does.

The nose ring adds a touch of mystique to his persona, much like his music, often laced with introspection and enigmatic lyrics.

Tory Lanes

Tory’s music transcends boundaries, merging hip-hop with R&B and other influences.

Similarly, his nose ring is a testament to the fluidity of his style, bridging the gap between edgy and elegant.

The concept of masculinity and femininity is evolving, and many men are breaking free from traditional gender norms thanks to the likes of Tory.

Wiz Khalifa

Everything Wiz does stylistically to this day is about a statemen, for example his yellow patch hair.

Wiz his image has changed we still get to see him as experimental as he was when he 1^st debuted in hip.

He’s some other categories wiz falls under, speaking to his experimental nature

• Rappers with Face Tattoos
• Rappers with Blonde Hair

It’s a reminder that even as an artist grows and evolves, certain aspects remain integral their identity, for him it’s his creative nature.

Young Thug

Young Thug burst onto the scene with a flamboyant style that Hip Hop traditional  norms.

His extravagant jewellery, including his nose ring, became synonymous with his image.

While he has since toned down his image, the nose ring remains a subtle nod to his origins and a marker of his unapologetic creativity.

Chris Brown

R & B acts are most often expected to sell sex appeal which sees them showing their body and looks,

so whilst the nose ring looks great on Chris and was a personal choice it also helps sell his image!

It’s a testament to the power of image in the music industry, where every detail contributes to an artist’s overall appeal.

Chance the Rapper

Chance the Rapper’s nose ring complements his colourful and unconventional approach to rap.

His music challenges norms and embraces a wide spectrum of emotions and experiences.

The nose ring is a tiny but significant part of his identity, a marker of his willingness to venture beyond the boundaries of traditional hip-hop.

Mac Miller

His nose ring became a symbol of his authenticity and willingness to be vulnerable through his music, a reminder of the artist’s introspective and open-hearted approach to his craft.

Travis McCoy

Similarly to Young Thug, Travis also had a very unconventional image in comparison to the Hip Hop look and most of that was due to his nose ring.

Known for his upbeat tracks and insightful lyrics, McCoy’s nose ring accentuates his magnetic smile and adds an element of coolness to his image.

Tupac

Tupac’s nose ring became an iconic part of his image, instantly recognizable which was often highlighted during photoshoot, music videos and interviews.

Most won’t remember Tupac with Hair, but I’m willing to bet most will remember bald Tupac with the infamous bandana and nose ring.

The Game

If there’s one thing were guarantee to know about the game it’s his unpredictable nature.

Sometimes that means facial tattoos and somethings that means nose rings.

Most rappers with nose rings keep their piercing stubble, whilst game will often alternate between big and small studs.

Lil Scrappy

Emerging from the streets to make a name for himself in the rap world, his nose ring represents a journey from adversity to achievement.

It’s a reminder that an artist’s identity is often shaped by their experiences and the paths they’ve traversed.

Goldlink

Goldlink’s nose ring bridges the gap between rap and other genres, much like his music.

Known for his innovative approach to hip-hop, Goldlink’s nose ring adds a touch of rebellion and sophistication to his appearance.

It’s a statement that creativity knows no boundaries, and neither does the desire to make a lasting impression.

Here are some key factors to consider before making your decision:

1. Personal Style and Expression: Theres nothing wrong being influenced by the above rappers with nose rings but make sure this is a decision you won’t regret in 10 years.
   
   
2. Workplace and Social Environment: Some environments may be more accepting of body modifications than others, such as a creative environments, the corporate world, not so much.
   
   
3. Pain Tolerance: Getting a nose piercing involves a brief moment of discomfort. Consider your pain tolerance but it shouldn’t be too hard.
   
   
4. Healing Process: Nose piercings require proper care during the healing process. Also remember when you don’t wear the ring you’ll have a small minor hole.
   
   
5. Maintenance and Upkeep: Nose rings require regular cleaning and maintenance to prevent infections and keep the area clean.

Final Words

In essence, men wear nose rings for many of reasons that encompass tradition, self-expression, aesthetics, and personal empowerment.

But remember its Hip Hop, it’s about being different, though we must admit, with this trend becoming as popular as it has choosing to get a nose ring won’t stand out as much today.

Choices for nose rings varies from a combination of cultural, social, and personal factors.

The act of wearing a nose ring becomes a visual representation of these motivations and a testament to the evolving landscape of modern masculinity and self-identity.

Within our editorial we use images that features the streamer stood beside his peers as well as athletes to make a visual comparison.

Kai Cenat Height Comparison

In our 1st example we can see Kai stood beside NBA athlete Kyrie Irving. The official NBA site records Kyrie Irving height at 6’2 which is several inches shorter than the average NBA athletes height.

Taking a closer look at the image we can see all parties have their feet level placed which provides an accurate perspective on their height

 The average basketball athlete stands at 6’6 which would make Kyrie 4 inches shorter and whilst he may not be the tallest athlete he certainly towers over Kai.

In addition to this the average American male stands at 5’9 which Kai is several inches shorter than at 5’4, this would explain the difference in contrast.

Next we can see him stood beside podcaster Adam 22 who he is also shorter than. Adam22’s height has been recorded at 6’3 and we can see the difference.

Lastly we can see the streamer stood beside Lil Uzi Vert who is one of the shortest rappers in Hip Hop today. Lil Uzi Verts height has been recorded at 5’4.

The image above is a screenshot which sees both Kai and Uzi behind the scenes for the music video I just wana rock and the similarity in stature is immediately noticeable.

Mr Beast Height Comparison

In our 1^st example we can see Mr Beast stood beside professional wrestler John Cena and we can see the subtle difference in height between the 2.

Taking a closer look at the image we can see all parties have their feet level placed which provides an accurate perspective on their height

The official WWE site states John Cena to be 6’1 whilst his Wikipedia page states the athlete to being 6’2. Therefore our guess Is that he is someewhere in the middle.

Here’s where things get interesting, as a result of the image below being shared on social media fans have posed the question “How Tall is the rock?”

Now this is a legitimate question since various publications state the rock at different heights. The official WWE site states The Rock’s height at 6’5, yet in the image above he is over towered by Mr Beast..

We have used the thick white line as a visual guide to determine the subtle difference in height, which leads us to our question, is Mr Beast taller than the rock?

Let’s bear in mind we cant see their feet and Mr Beast could we wearing platform sneakers! Hmm interesting.

Lastly we can see MrBeast besides SypherPK and we can see he slightly inches over Mr Beast.

 The American YouTuber and Twitch streamer stands at 6’4 which is inches over the average male who stands at 5’9.

Based on the image between MrBeast and The Rock, do you believe Rock is 6’5? Comment below.

Lil Yachty Height Comparison

In our 1^st example we can see Lil Yachty standing at the same height as late night host Jimmy Kimmel.

Taking a closer look at the image we can see all parties have their feet level placed which provides an accurate perspective on their height

So why the name “Lil Yachty”? Good question, it used to be that most rappers with the moniker “lil” meant they were a short rapper which was tradition, today however the term has many meanings, in Yachty’s case it would be used for being young.

Next we can see Lil Yachty with Uncle Snoop who falls under the tallest rappers category and the difference in stature is immediate to see.

At 6’4 Snoop Doggs height means he over towers the majority of his peers. For further context the average NBA player is 6’6, making snoop only 2 inches shorter.

Even in the image above we can see Snoop slightly crouched down yet still over towering Lil Yachty.

Lastly we can see him beside UK rapper Fredo whose height ranges between 6 feet and 6’1.

Whilst the contrast may not be as apparent as it is with Snoop Dogg we can still see the subtle difference between the 2 rappers.

Does Height Matter in Music?

The only thing that matters when it comes to music is quality, fans don’t care how tall or short artists are, as long as they can convey emotions through art.

The great thing about all music genres is that we have representation from both tall and short artists who have made a global impact which is proof that height doesn’t play a part in one’s success. So no height does not matter in the slightest.

At the premier for season 4 we can see both actors side by side with Kano over towering Ashley by several inches.

Next up we can see him with Drake who also had a hand in the shows development, marketing and positioning.

Drake stands at 6’1 and whilst this doesn’t make him one of the tallest rappers he most certainly towers over the majority of his peers.

Lastly we can see Ashley with Noel Clarke who he is just an inch shorter then.

Rob from celebheights.com reports Noel Clarke’s height at 5’8 and we would have to agree with this. Therefore the image above is what 5’7 and 5’8 look like in person.

Jidion Height Comparison

During Adam22’s no jumper podcast Jidion made a guest appearance to talk about his rise to fame and the image below was taken to promote the episode.

Taking a closer look at the image we can see all parties have their feet level placed which provides an accurate perspective on their height.

Adam 22 height has been recorded at 6’3 which inevitably means he towers over most men. For further context the average NFL athlete stands at 6’1 – 6’2 which Adam is taller than.

Next we can see him stood beside fellow youtuber/boxer Logan Paul and the height difference is clear to see between the pair.

A Boxer’s reach is directly related to their height which therefore means the taller you are, the longer the reach you have which is why they are weighed and measured.

Logan Pauls height has been billed as 6’1.

Lastly we can see him beside Druski who happens to be one of the tallest comedians amongst his peer group.

Druski’s Height ranges between 6’1 and 6’2 which would explain why the height contrast between the 2 is similar to the image which features Jidion and Logan Paul.

A person’s height is primarily influenced by genetics which is a great indicator for their height and their offspring.

Most men of average height over tower Kevin Hart which today includes his son Hendrix.

Next we can see Druski stood beside Adam22 and whilst he slightly towers over Druski the difference in height is subtle. Adam22’s height has been recorded between 6’2 and 6’3.
