SEC: The Mixtape – 1 Yr Anniversary

Colron — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 21:46:05 +0000

Wanted to do a drop for the 1 yr anniversary of ‘SEC:The Mixtape’

In the midst of the housing meltdown and beginning of a recession we decided it was time to give the world a free taste of NiQ. We did this tape with DJ Giovanny of Team Midwest Invasion at the beginning of last year, worked through the holidays on it. Fun project to make, and the first mixtape we did. Got tons of good feedback, and even some press on it, basically errbody showed love. Also, shouts to Dame Shepp, Digg, and Irv White for dropping bars for The Kid.

Check it out, download here and over here for torrent fans. Crowd favorites are Okaaay, Stage of Fire, Baby Talk ft Andre3000, Go Hard, City Behind Me, and Nasty Boy

Oh, and webleedhiphop.com just did a post on it, check it out…Shout out to Bucktown and BSeen
over there

Keep an eye out for the new tape, ‘Bang My Sh*t’ Coming soon..

Check out the Urb Review of NiQ’s track ‘HNIC’

Reviewed by Adam Figman

It’s the classic way to enter to the rap game. Get a job as a mortgage salesman, then lose it due to a recession and a collapsing housing market, then hit the studio. OK, maybe it’s not the standard way of entering hip-hop, but there’s very little that’s standard about NiQ. Abbreviating the term “unique” in his stage name, the Columbus, Ohio native makes both club-bumping tunes that will have you ready to party and mind-stimulating jams that may cause you to sit down and ponder a little. This versatility is one of the many reasons his name is no coincidence. Peep “HNIC” for the proof.
