Stevie is a positive hip hop artist that is dedicated to spreading a positive message through his music. He is a True example of how real life situations do not define the value of an individual. Growing up in a life of poverty, violence, drugs, and depression; Stevie J is a living witness of an individual who through Christ overcame adversity..
Starting off doing Christian Rap, Stevie was determined to make it big as a christian artist. For over 7 years, He did Christian music with a group called "Life Saving Decision" (LSD). 2 years ago, tragedy struck which changed Stevie's life forever. His big brother Kevin Beebe was killed at 26. Kevin was in the christian rap group LSD that Stevie did music with.
After Kevin's passing, Stevie felt he could not persue Christian music as a career. Though he still writes and records solo Christian music in his spare time, attends church and even performs on the praise and worship team from time to time, this is still just a hobby for him right now. He is dedicated to Y-N-C and helping get the group signed to a major label record deal.
With Stevie having his first born son "Omari Gabriel James Carroll" just 2 months ago, He is more motivated and focused now more than ever. Stevie knows that money and fame will come. Providing a better life for his son and family, keeping Kevin's memory and legacy alive and most importantly, giving Christ all the praise, honor and glory for his career and all the great oppertunities he is blessed to have is Stevie's main goal. Y-N-C isn't just a group to Stevie, they're family. Looking up to T.I. whom is 1 of Stevie's favorite artist, he now knows what it means to live by "GOD, family & hustle" in that order. With Stevie always reminding himself of Matthew 6:33 (KJV), He know's oppertunities are endless and the skies the limit.
My name is John Nice. I go by the rap name J.Nice. I come from a small city in West Virginia called Wheeling. I came up from a low class family with little, to no graduates. The struggle was very serious in my younger years. With my real mom in and out of prison for different things as well as different rehabs. All the hard headed moments and troubles as a young boy led me to a very difficult teenage life. I was in and out of multiple juvenile detention facilities. I finally got my head on straight my shoulders and graduated high school at the age of 19. As far as who I look up to I would have to say Eminem, MGK, and Dizzy Wright. When it comes to rapping, I started free styling at a young age just for fun with my older brother Joshua aka "Poetic Peth" writing little 8 bar rhymes here and there when I was locked up, I just recently started taking my music serious when I was told that I was having a little baby girl, Karalyne Renee Nice! I had talked to Joshua Heatherington from YNC and asked for a chance to get in the studio. We hooked up and everything fell right into place perfectly from there on with him and Stevie J, and I. After winning a competition my first time ever on stage. And coming out with a whole mixtape "Nice Way to Start" in jus two months and writing verse after verse, They notice that I had what it took to run wit YNC.
