MICHAEL SOFILAS AKA NTER - THE STORY (PRISON / FAMILY / CANCER)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июл 2021
- Michael Sofilas AKA Nter has been a household name within the Australian music scene for over a decade.
A lot of fans already know his life story through his music, but we got to dig a little deeper.
Raised in the housing commissions, Nter lost his mum at an early age and was taught crime by his older brothers just to get by.
Nters experiences is proof that life is a constant rollercoaster, especially when he was diagnosed with Kidney cancer at the young age of 27.
Doing multiple stints in jail to now raising 5 children with his long-term partner, Nter is now looking for a way to show youth that there is no such thing as a successful drug dealer.

I remember seeing NTER on the train with his mates a bit over 10 years ago when everyone was scared of him. I was a teenager dressed the complete opposite of him with an emo fringe lol, but I went up to him and asked him if he was nter and told him I like his music. He thanked me and seemed genuinely happy when I told him that. Back in those days you would get smacked for even looking at a group of lads dressed the way I was. he’s a good bloke.
Iv always dressed lad even when I was 8 😂😂😂
Nter's a real one, when I first heard him in 08 I was deep in the skinny jeans and emo fringe game but his music has always hit me right in the heartstrings hey
Breaking into family homes. Fuck ay, what role model.
@@nathan1234537 you’re gonna have to get a job bro. You have no rap skills and I’m just being honest, you’re either gonna be a loser forever or get any sort of job and be someone and I suggest getting a
I’m not meaning to be a arsehole bro but you really need to understand that.
That’s a true solid person when they respect you for being different it’s rare to see this but when you do it’s awesome big love to Nter
Remember him when I was younger, went to the beach with him and the boys a few times on the weekends. Heard lots of stories about him over the years but still the same guy as I remember. Great guy, just made some mistakes along the way like most of us did.
I hope youngsters look at this mans story as a lesson, not a lifestyle.
Couldn't of said it better wish I paid more attention in skool like English. Well said
Word, it's so refreshing to see how Nter's music now is not glorifying shit he did but just reflecting on how he survived, positive shit and like you said a lesson 👌🏼
5 minutes in and already got me eyes watery bra. Having listened to you since 08, it's beyond inspiring to see how not only you've grown into a stand up lad, partner and dad but how your music has reflected your growth, and shared some of the painful trials you've had to overcome with your listeners. I'm older and taller than you by a decent wack but I'm not too proud to admit you're one lad I look up to bruz. Keep doing you, you're literally the last of a dying breed and you've helped so many ppl fight their own demons by sharing yours thru the pen n pad 👌🏼❤️❤️❤️
Just recently become a father and after seeing this I'm going to up my game more for my daughter.cheers brother for giving me more strength to be a better father
respect !
What a legend ~ he is going to become the most effective Youth Worker ♥️
Im 23 and grew up listening to Nter in high school. Never new he had all this shit going on. Seems like a real genuine guy.
Man big respect to Nter.
Some real life lessons were he was dealt a shit card but risen above it.
Thanks for sharing your journey brother.You got old school morals never snitching and you got a heart of gold your a rare bread brother big love and full respect you beat cancer quit drug dealing and putting your kids first.
Real talk! Morals, Integrity, Respect, Loyalty, Truth and most importantly TRUST 💯 NO EXCUSES ONLY CHOICES ATTITUDE THAT DEFINES YOU AS A INDIVIDUAL.

Wow man just watched this at 5.30 this morning. Makes me think I never want to go back to playing up. My daughter is my life now. Thank you Nter.
Good stuff man.
On ya mate 🙏
Wow Nter is honest here, I haven't heard an interview as real as this with him spilling out his heart...This is helping me change my life, much Respect ... 🙏
Damn bro.. I have never heard anyone speak about cancer, I now know why so many lives are ruined by it
Love this ❤️ I spent 10 years homeless, 41 years old lost everything due to fkd up friends n family, I'm UK taught myself to gas the mic live, teaching my coping every step. collabs no cost brother ❤️
Such a real down to earth guy been a fan for ages much love nter!
Legend mate, keep grinding...
Much respect.
“I’m not one to hit women but I cleaned her up” 😂😂😂 Fkn love it. As any good bloke would. On ya brah ❤️
Muvvas lad who the fuck woudlnt wack a junkie dog 😂😂
@@mitcho368 fuckin oath especially if ya kid in the oven cooking. Way he said it tho was just straight crack up 🤣🤣🤣
@@mitcho368 Well, no man would ever hit a woman. Or rob anyone for that matter. No discipline.
@@GregB1972 nah bruzzy if someoen starts u have a go that’s the code 47 on top
@@mitcho368 Code? Ill disciplined rabble perhaps. If you want code, joining the military. He still belted a woman.
Straight up, my level of respect went up big time , after hearing him talk. He's got great maturity which he's used his errors to learn. Lot of people don't ever have the intelligence or control to pull the handbreak up and change direction.
isn't this guy an active criminal? or no longer?
a true king. one love brother!
Best interview that I have seen for a long time! Big ups Nter and zoku
i will always love nter, always been so real and raw. and always honest to his fanbase
I remember when I met NTER in Newtown, I was busking and he was hanging around watching me. He came up and said "you are who you say you are man". Years before I was on HHTV and got a lot of hate for having an accent when I rapped. I respect NTER for what he said and the gesture.
This interview was real!
That’s great bro
Isn’t that the gay dog area’
Massive respect to you bro!!. Thank you sharing 👍. Been a big fan since way back but this is next level 👌
Never heard his music. But what a bloke! Guys been through the ringer and gained compassion. Just abandonment issues. Not regulating emotions. Big ups Michael/NTER. Much love brother
So much respect for you, really hope people learn from this
I definitely took a lot away from this .
Respect man, great insight on how to overcome tough times.
Nters true gangsta. Not many people keep there mouth shut. Hope life is going better for you mate
Word bro, under the word Staunch in the dictionary should be a photo of Nter! 💯💯
@@ryandowling3842 never liked the gangster movies. In the end they all end up rating on each other. This guy is a rare breed if the story is true.
@@tompurchase7466 but thoes movies are true mate. Mafia had the hardest rules and half of em ratted out in the end.
@@aussiegrows8096 yeah I know mate. It's shit. Everyone has there limit I guess.
Seen you live with kerser you were the best that night bro and never heard of ya your awesome keep up the good work
Nters a legend man, I remember looking up to his graff and rockin the Sydney Serchaz. Songs like Eshay, like my brother, fuckin oath, RIP Mum, Greenline Rokim etc were songs I grew up with, His newer stuff still kills. Mine and his storys are different but very much the same. The dudes been a huge part of Australian street culture, Hip-hop and graffiti. Props for having him on, Good to see he doing alright after a fuckin hard road..

So much respect for you brother, I would never hit a woman unless confronted with your situation. No justice in this world. Worth doing time for that. As messed up as the situation was. My family fkd me out of a mortgage and 20k, stopped me seeing my son 2 years and hand a massive part in me being homeless for 10 years, only music stopping me from torching them pricks

I remember being a kid growing up around kogarah/Hurstville in the graff days. Names like NTER even tho he wasn’t famous for rapping or anything he was a local legend on the streets and you would hear his name a lot crazy to think back to those times lol
Lol true aye If you’re from Sydney and haven’t heard the name nter you’ve been living under a rock lol
Just curious, does hurstville have housing commission?
Just asking cos I'm from campbelltown, I'm not sure.
