About
Lute, born Luther Nicholson in Charlotte, North Carolina, is an American rapper signed to J. Cole's Dreamville Records. He is best known for autobiographical, introspective lyrics rooted in themes of struggle, fatherhood and personal growth, set against soul-tinged boom-bap production. His breakthrough came with the platinum-certified single "Under the Sun" (2019, with J. Cole and DaBaby), which also earned him a Grammy nomination. His second album, Gold Mouf (2021), confirmed his standing as one of Dreamville's most distinctive voices.
