Nascent

Christopher Ruelas, known professionally as Nascent, is an American record producer and songwriter best known for producing and co-writing SZA's "Good Days" and the Kanye West / The Weeknd collaboration "Hurricane.".

Career Early life Ruelas began to show an interest in producing music in his early teens using software Acid Pro, before giving away beats for free to any Chicago musicians looking for music to spread word of mouth of his productions. After graduating high school, temporarily moving to New York, and watching a G-Unit documentary, Ruelas decided to go to the G-Unit Records offices and drop off a disc of beats he produced. An on-site A&R played his music on the spot, and he received his first placement at 18: "Strong Enough" from 50 Cent's 2009 album Before I Self Destruct.

In 2024, Ruelas released his project Don't Grow Up Too Soon. Album of the Year (Donda)
