The Niceguys - Good Shepherd
Artist: The Niceguys
Producer: Christolph
Album: The Show
Label: 265 LLC
In their brand new exclusive DJBooth interview fast-rising Houston hip-hop crew The Niceguys said that their “music goes beyond coastal or regional boundaries.” They’re not lying. Having already dropped off the hard rock-edged Mr. Perfect and the celebratory soul of Not At All, Easy Yves Saint, DJ Candlestick, Christolph and Free have once again switched up their style on the smoky, mellowed out Good Shepherd. Behind the boards resident producer Christolph crafts a jazzy, meandering beat that brings in a horn section on the chorus (and, could it be? The second record to use a xylophone on the Booth today?), setting the stage for Niceguys’ microphone contingent to deliver bars as bold as they are lyrically subtle: “Few pauses here and there, a cool chorus / Call it my corporate calling card…Yves Saint’s the culprit.” Now that’s some mother**king alliteration. If you’re digging where The Niceguys are shepherding us, be sure to cop their upcoming album The Show, due out September 28, and keep an ear out for their upcoming exclusive DJBooth freestyle, coming “soon.”

Big fan of The Niceguys. Each feature we've run on them sounds completely and wholly different from the one before it, but that is what makes them unique and enjoyable.

This is definitely different than anything I've heard recently, other than the hook being a bit drowned out, nothing bad to say.

As I wrote in the intro, I couldn't be more impressed with the Nice Guys versatility. Every track I hear from them is on point, and everyone sounds different. Shame it's a cloudy day outside or I'd drive around slow playing this with the window's down.
