J NICS - Swangin'
Artist: J NICS
Producer: Sean Jemisson
Album: Southern N*ggas Ain't Slow Mixtape
Label: Unsigned
E.S.G. may no longer have the cachet of a Bun B or Slim Thug, but he was one of the most influential artists on the H-town scene, helping to popularize the chopped-n-screwed style that would become his hometown’s trademark. Thus, the industry veteran’s name sounds right at home among the hip-hop greats celebrated on Booth fave J NiCS’ latest project, a Tribute to the Southern pioneers who laid the groundwork for the up-and-coming rhymesayer’s sound and style. On newly-leaked standout cut Swangin’, the Floridian rhymesayer borrows the lushly-sampled Sean Jemisson production from ‘95 single Swangin’ & Bangin to back him as he offers fans a little insight into the formative experiences that made him who he is today—from the development of his spiritual beliefs (“I read my scriptures as a teenager”) to the loss of loved ones (“I still shed tears when I think about my little cousin…”). Has this introspective yet whip-ready freestyle piqued your interest? What are you waiting for—click here to stream and/or download the Booth-sponsored first half of NiCS’ Southern N*ggas Ain’t Slow mixtape series.

NICS takes one of the foremost southern classics - of all-time? - and freestyles over it like it was his to begin with. This is not easy to do, friends.

This is OK. Nothing really stands out to me here. I do like the smooth beat, but I didn't hear anything lyrically that set this apart. This is just OK.
