Nique Originally from Long Beach, CA Creating out of Las Vegas, NV www.GoNique.com flodeepmusicgroup.bandcamp.com Nique is an up and coming artist who was a little late bloomer to the rap genre, it wasn’t until he heard “Forgot About Dre” that he decided he wanted to start writing. Influenced heavily by the style in which Marshall Mathers delivered he forged his own around that. It is evident in Nique’s beginning stages that he idolized Eminem, not in subject but in his complex and intertwining rhyme scheme. So the practice began all through middle school to high school. A bit shy though Nique did not open up his love for writing to anyone until he moved to Las Vegas at the end of his sophomore year. Started off building confidence freestyling with friends before and after school and more times than not Nique was praised for his quick thinking and witty words. constantly writing now more than he did in Cali Niques skill began to grow rapidly. He never recorded anything though until he graduated from high school, so with a stock microphone that came with the computer Nique recorded a few songs that didn’t really stand out but displayed huge potential. Friends pushed and urged him to record more and it wasn’t until ” Must be The Kicks ” came along that Nique was recognized for rapping. Nique came out with two mixtapes under the title D.O.P.E. an acronym for Dishing Out Pure Excellence. although they weren’t legit mixtapes they were only made so the songs would be under a title he gained a little more of a following. With the release of his mixtape “Framed and Unfocused” , he became greatly noticed by larger group of people, Even blogs that use to entertain his need for a new dope artist were showing him support, such as www.Gowherehiphop.com, www.Rubyhornet.com and www.Bricktoyaface.com just to name a few. He recently dropped a mixtape called “X.XIII” symbolizing his maturation into his own artist. That mixtape has been givin the accolade of best mixtape of 2010 by some. The Song “Boom Bap” on that mixtape has been nominated by www.DJbooth.net as best indie song of 2010. Currently working on a project with fellow DJ Finyl, and release single songs just to feed the masses, So moving in the right direction of his dream Nique keeps pushing knowing one day he will see that dotted line, until then there is no doubt that this young artist has found his niche and is destined for more.
