About Emcee N.I.C.E.

With a voice that commands your attention from the first note combined with some classic rhyme styling, multi-platinum producer/songwriter & hip-hop recording artist EMCEE N.I.C.E. from El Paso, Texas makes his arrival into to the Gospel Hip-Hop genre.

 N.I.C.E. a trailblazer in hip-hop/R&B music has accumulated numerous accolades that includes over 30+ professional recordings, platinum and gold awards, The Billboard Charts, TV shows and an association with an Academy award. As he forges a new trail in the realm of Gospel, Emcee N.I.C.E. delivers a perspective with his debut album “PRAISE” that is insightful and each record speaks to the weary and devote believers that worship alike. N.I.C.E. states that hisalbum is a celebration of Christ that has a blend of scripture and creative metaphors that will give the listener spiritual food for thought”.

The album is preceded by two singles, “I Got Angels” (inspired by Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Legend Richard Smallwood’s “Angels”) and “On Your Way Up” featuring Elia Esparza from “The Voice” season 11 on Adam Levine’s team. Both singles with the aid of scripture and soulful tones speak on the many souls that watch over us to keep us out of harm’s way, and that God’s love delivers us from daily adversaries and the evil the devil conjures in our lives.

Before Emcee N.I.C.E. became a notable songwriter, he began his rap career as a gospel rap artist while attending bible college.

Trying to find his voice amidst the chaos happening in his own church, N.I.C.E. left bible college and the church in pursuit of a rap career, create a fan base, and then slowly implement the word of God without being intrusive.
