“Die Later” is one of the hardest hitting tracks from the LP, replete with grinding, distorted guitars, heavy bass, and beating drums, all of which plays perfect accompaniment to Yves Saint’s ever-so-smooth flow and witty vocal quips, as he raps, “The only thing promised on this tilted axis/ Is victory for my Niceguys, death, and taxes.”
New Video: The Niceguys – Ever Upward (Nice Short Pt. 8)
With the help of a shirtless strummer and bongo bucket player, an impromptu stage moment for The Niceguys turns into a crowd pleasing acoustic freestyle in “Ever Upward,” Part 8 of the Houston foursome’s long-running video series, “Nice Shorts.” While the video begins with the freestyle, Yves Saint’s flow plays the back for much of this video, as road music to a montage of clips that reflect The Niceguys’ 2011 SXSW excursion, layered with performance footage, hyped fans, and Cristolph, Free, DJ Candlestick, and Yves hitting the Austin streets
Free MP3: The Niceguys – “Somebody” Feat. Lee Lonn Walker
Rapper Yves Saint, producers Christolph and Free, and DJ Candlestick, the Houston-based foursome known as The Niceguys, are excited to drop “Somebody,” the Lee Lonn Walker featuring love-themed new single from their debut album, The Show – and just in time for Valentine’s Day. Following the triumphant and celebratory sounds of “Toast,” released with an accompanying video in early January, “Somebody” mellows things out, with a sound reminiscent of the mellow tones of old school soul, complete with understated percussion and reverb heavy instrumentation.
“Love is not a choice. So when you do love, love well,” says Yves, the Queens-born emcee who has spent the last number of years in Houston after meeting the rest of The Niceguys while in school together at the University of Houston. “I wrote the whole song, but the most poignant parts were the bars that I wrote for Lee Lonn to sing: ‘We won’t live if we don’t try/ And love is life, so we won’t die.'”
