Bio:
Sometimes, preconceived notions can be good; the comfort of expectations met is often a welcomed feeling. For the more adventurous among us, though, the best part of defined expectations and preconceived notions is having them broken, shattered even, in a good way. Enter: The Niceguys, a four-m...

“The type of backing that they possess is little more than the foursome's collective will and an understanding that lackluster efforts will produce lackluster results. That they appear so polished or ready-made for success is because they specifically work on appearing polished and ready-made for success. "Not to take anything away from other rappers, but we put a lot of work into our music," Christolph says. "Have you ever had too much music from an artist? It sucks. We don't want to flood the market with our music, so we only put out what we really like."”

— Shea Serrano, Houston Press

“I have to admit that the last two paragraphs were inherently flawed. While it (hopefully) made for good reading, separating out the vocals and production is like separating the peanut butter and the jelly. The Show sounds go good precisely because The Niceguys manage to take their dizzying array of influences into a cohesive whole. It’s simple really. When you make music this good, you don’t need an angle. Read more: http://www.djbooth.net/index/albums/review/the-niceguys-the-show-09291001/#ixzz1FHvrTiUs”

“Critical Praise for The Niceguys: “Meet The Niceguys; arguably Houston’s best kept hip-hop secret.” - Houston Chronicle “The Niceguys make it evident from the title-track opener of their full-length offering, The Show, that this is not going to be an exercise in frivolous nursery rhymes. There is something very genuine about The Niceguys, whose core aim is to entertain and have fun with energetic hip-hop.” - URB”

““There is a way we approach rap,” said Saint. “We aren’t your typical rappers or producers; we are all people first. Looking at it from a people perspective, you have to turn a blind eye to the business aspect. The business doesn’t know us. We didn’t come in with a co-sign with some major artist. We didn’t have anyone usher us into the ‘game.’ So when your doing what we do, how do you wipe your feet on the rug? How do you show you are here to add something and show humility? How do you show the effort?””

— Mike Damante, 29-95 Houston Chronicle

“Houston was the city the rap world was talking about. Artists like Paul Wall, Slim Thug and Mike Jones showed the entire nation (and beyond) what H-town had been up to for years. Those days are gone now, though, and the city is left wondering where local musicians are planning to take us next. No one has taken the reins as of yet, but after sitting down with the Nice Guys, the local group may be next at bat.”

— Houston Press - Kim Douglass, Houston Press Rocks off
