By night, the 42-year-old Cleveland native becomes the Dancing Weatherman, a content creator whose blend of hip-hop and comedy has earned him more than 10 million followers across social media.<\/p>\n<p>Nick, who\u2019s been a rap fan since childhood, worked as a radio DJ while attending the University of Akron from 2003 to 2005, and became then known as \u201cThe Rapping Weatherman\u201d for delivering rhyming forecasts during his first full-time meteorology job at KBTV in Beaumont, Texas, in 2008.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, Nick\u2019s life changed when a video of him dancing to Mr_Hotspot\u2019s \u201cSlide Like This\u201d went viral. Now, he sneaks Drake\u2019s <em>Iceman<\/em>\u00a0and Cardi B&#8217;s &#8220;Outside&#8221; references into weather reports and his popular \u201cIssa Snow Day\u201d parody of 50 Cent\u2019s \u201cIn Da Club\u201d has millions of views. Here, the Webby Award winner and the Academy of Cinema and Entertainment 2025 Influencer of the Year discusses hip-hop\u2019s influence on mainstream culture, memorable moments he\u2019s shared with rappers, his top five and more.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>XXL<\/em>: How would you describe how you feel about hip-hop music and the culture it represents?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nick Kosir: Hip-hop culture is one of the most influential forces in the world when it comes to shaping trends, fashion and the way people express themselves. What fascinates me is what starts in a hip-hop song, if it\u2019s popular, it eventually makes its way into mainstream culture. We\u2019ve seen it for decades. Whether it\u2019s style or dance or words like bling bling, there\u2019s something infectious about hip-hop and rap culture. Hip-hop doesn\u2019t follow trends, it creates them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are your top five favorite rappers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve always wanted to have somebody relevant ask me this question. This list might make some waves, but I\u2019m sticking to it. Number one, Lil Wayne. As a millennial, he\u2019s our rap God. His wordplay, his metaphors, the mixtape run, the sheer volume of work. Number two is Biggie. I don\u2019t have to explain much about that. He\u2019s an icon. Number three, Eminem. I don\u2019t think any other rapper has ever dedicated as much energy into the technical skill and the rhyming structures that he has.<\/p>\n<p>At number four, 50 Cent. If an alien landed on Earth and said, \u201cNick, what\u2019s rap music?\u201d I\u2019d give them <em>Get Rich or Die Tryin\u2019<\/em>. Then, I\u2019m going Drake, number five. He\u2019s polarizing, but he\u2019s been running the show for 10-plus years. When the dust settles, we\u2019ll have to sit back and think about Drake as a top five artist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who would you consider to be the \u201cNick Kosir\u201d of the rap game?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I would say Soulja Boy. What I have always loved about him was that he leaned into the internet way before social media became the center of entertainment and music promotion. He understood virality before most people even really knew what that word meant. I\u2019ve leaned into social media a lot, certainly more than I think most traditional media figures have. We both recognized earlier that you have to go to where the audience is at rather than trying to convince them to come to you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are some of the best interactions you\u2019ve had with rappers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Back in 2019, Lil Nas X tapped me to make a video for him to open up the MTV Video Music Awards. That was huge. I\u2019ve hung out with Flo Rida a few times. He comes and performs at my job. Recently, I had Fetty Wap in the studio, which was so cool. He\u2019s just a special dude.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, we started talking about how he was considering getting into the HVAC business. I started telling him about the impacts of how the weather could influence HVAC. It\u2019s me talking to a platinum-selling rapper about heating and cooling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you like to further incorporate hip-hop into your line of work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I incorporate the rap lyrics and stuff into the weather forecasts. That\u2019s had success. That shows me that there\u2019s an appetite for rap on TV. I\u2019ve always been told that I\u2019d be a good game show host. I feel like there could be a cool game show, maybe a trivia competition type of show, like a hip-hop <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> I think that would bring all of the generations of rap fans together.<\/p>\n<p><em>Nick Kosir&#8217;s interview in the\u00a0<em>2026 XXL Freshman issue is\u00a0<a
