Who I Am: Nettspend, From Richmond to the Billboard 200
I'm Nettspend. My real name is Gunner Shepardson, and I'm a rapper from Richmond, Virginia, born in 2007. This store is where my merch lives, so here is the short version of who's behind it.
Where did Nettspend start?
On SoundCloud. I started posting my songs there in 2022. In 2023 a snippet of "Drankdrankdrank" spread on Twitter, and "Shine N Peace" made year-end lists that same year at The Fader and The New York Times.
What kind of music is it?
Trap, rage and jerk. My name comes up as one of the main faces of the 2020s rage scene, next to OsamaSon and Che. OsamaSon and I put out "Withdrawals" together in 2024, and I've worked with Xaviersobased and Evilgiane too.
Who am I signed to?
Grade A and Interscope.
What came out so far?
- Kickdoor, my first mixtape, May 2023
- Bad Ass F*cking Kid (BAFK), December 2024, my first Billboard 200 entry
- Gone Too Soon, a two-track EP, August 2025
- Early Life Crisis, my debut album, March 2026, which debuted at No. 39 on the Billboard 200
- Him and the Virginia Creeper EP, both in 2026
Why a merch store?
Because the art from those eras deserves to be worn. The BAFK skull, the early life crisis. wordmark, the Invert tour design and the rest are all here on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies.
