While the title of West Coast buzzmaker (and recent Booth showcase participant) NIQUE‘s latest mixtape leak carries nostalgic connotations, the record is more than a simple retro throwback; like fellow Vegas representatives (and FloDeep partners-in-rhyme) Marion Write and Radio Ramone, the up-and-comer deals in a forward-looking blend of old and new-school influences, and this joint fits that description to a tee. Over Superslikuzi‘s shuffling percussion and soulful horn stabs, the artist spits bars composed of “a little bit of this and a little bit of that.” The dominant flavors in NIQUE’s lyrical casserole? Tightly-wound trash-talk and witty braggadocio, liberally seasoned with alliteration and internal rhyme “Hold up, let me hit ém with the slick sh*t, smooth flow, same reason why your chick split / quick n*gga, I be on that sick sh*t, brand new LeBron #6 sh*t…” Does this eclectically fresh banger leave you craving more? Then you’ll find what you seek on NIQUE’s FloDeep/GoWhere-sponsored X.XIII street album, scheduled to hit the ‘net – you guessed it – October 13.

Production sounds like Law's Rain, but still hot nonetheless. Flo Deep is on the rise with artists like him and Marion. Solid track.

Haha, nice to hear that beat again, been knowing it for a a few months. Big step for the producer. NIQUE flows nicely and the beat fits perfectly to his voice. Nice (Fabolous voice)

Nique kills it! Really catchy hook too.
Just a fun track you could play while chilling or at a party. Watch out for this kid, he's going places. |

I'm undoubtedly biased because Nique rocked DJBooth's stage at our last showcase concert in L.A., but I've got nothing but respect for this. It's got that boom bap energy, but, as Richard alluded to in the intro, it's much more than a boom bap nostalgia trip. Dopeness.
Lookout for Las Vegas, their hip-hop scene's getting bigger by the day. |
