Below is a short interview with the upcoming underground artist d33nyc said D nice.
How did you decide to become an artist?
d33nyc said D nice: Born in Kenya, Ugandan by decent hailing from Botswana grew up in Gaborone where he completed his primary, secondary and A-level education. He attended university at Witwatersrand and the University of Botswana in 2007 and 2010 respectively.
He begun spitting at 16 with high school friends @ afternoon rap sessions with the likes of Wrath, Mo-nexus, Nitro, Krunch to name a few. He continued to pursue hip hop performing in and around Gabs @ school talent shows and city ciphers.
dEEnyc was a regular at the Yarona Fm Sprite Rap activity jam which was a platform for upcoming artists.
In 2007, officially in JHB he set up studio through which he met Spartakus a crazy white boy with mad flow, the two formed a duo Riff Raff who released Fearless a 15 track mixtape. Riff Raff made its presence felt in 2008 regularly throwing Hip-Hop parties at club Roxy's in Joburg. They even performed with a live band at the first Hip-Hop stage ever at the rock festival Woodstock 10 with My Main Band.
In 2009 dEEnyc in association with Fresh Produce-ANTI POP, Soul Diciples and DJ KGB held intimate Hip-Hop & Funk jam sessions titles ”Strictly 4 Ma Ninja Cypher Sessions” fortnightly at the vibrant Ko’spotong Melville.
The Candyman Vol 1 mixtape was dropped in the 3rd quarter of 2010 as dEEnyc's debut with producers like Uzzi, Mo-nexus and Omega Man (of Blain & Shay Victory lap fame) on-board.
2011 gave birth to Botswana Hip-Hop Association aka the Urban arts association which was the brain child of Lucy La Phat, Mr.Urban and dEEnyc whose following has grown steadily through its Open Mic sessions and workshops providing artists stepping stones.
2011 was also a year of new bonds as the sets BW Chopped and Screwed, Fr3shM3n Ent & Loud Pack Ent came to fruition as FADED Music group with a host of fresh rappers and producers such as Clutch the Dilla, TekOne, NinjaManeTrappin, Pyru, Gmaine da Skiimane, Sam Kush, SpayceMunkyNigga, MoneyMave, SilverManeTrappin etc… in its ranks.
2014 shall see dEEnyc under FADED Music group dropping dope new material for the people all year round!
The man has unbelievable talent and will undoubtedly change the face of music.
If you have to ask who am I without knowing you are lost.
What about concerts? Do you play live?
Yes, the show consists of either a live band or the original DJ and emcee combination depending on the nature of the event, we usually have dancers, skaters, bikers and other forms of entertainment on the set for an enthralling experience.
Best punchline you ever wrote?
Camouflage condom, you won’t see me coming .
What are you currently working on? Did you release something in the past?
NycEbwoi is currently working on the Faded Music Group’s second EP Lenyora 2 and his sophomore mixtape Candyman Vol 2. Naaarce has recently released an experimental 4 track EP with producer Spayce Munky titled #SpayceChocolate which is a blend of trap, rnb, dubstep & edm compiled and executed in a manner of genius.
Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Perhaps depending on my control of artistic expression and the terms of distribution and publishing as in this era there are numerous resources available to indie artists.
Any last words?
