aptitudes worldwide. Nyce Da Future is the first affiliate from G.
Unit to have signed a contract for a UK project and it’s not your
typical collaboration. Newcastle’s Dap-C is an aspiring Hip-Hop
artist working hard within the industry, having international
artists participating in his projects is an interesting venture.
Considering that his georgie swagger is something UK listeners
have to adapt to let alone the artists over seas!
‘United We Stand’ is released in March and also features the
likes of Mobb Deep, Akon and David Banner. DaStreetBuzz
speaks to Nyce Da Future about the forthcoming project and
catch up with his musical venture to date.
DSB: What’s the story behind affiliating with G.Unit?
NYCE: Well I grew up with 50, Banks and Yayo so the
connection was already there. But through the legal problems it
took a little while for me to get back in the groove of things.
DSB: How were you previously promoting your projects?
NYCE: DJ’s, Internet (Websites), Radio, DVD’S & the streets.
DSB: Is there a lot of pressure into pursuing your career at the
same height as your G.Unit peers?
NYCE: Na its no pressure because this is something I do for
years, if anything I’m having nothing but fun with it.
DSB: How do you stand out above them all and how do you
intend to keep yourself artistically distinguished?
NYCE: I stay above them all because I am real creative,
versatile and I am a perfectionist.

tape advance your own promotional strategies?

whole world to Hip Hop, so if they don’t like Hip Hop I want my
music to make them like Hip Hop.

worked with and why?
NYCE: The most influential producer I have worked with is
named Magnedo7, he’s just like me but he makes beats. He is
a pure perfectionist as well and very versatile. As far as artists
go it would be Prodigy from Mobb Deep because he’s a
legend and taught me allot.
DSB: Being in a position of still establishing your ventures,
what obstacles have you faced?
NYCE: Faced allot of negativity around me, a lot of violence,
and just a lot of people that had no confidence. So I take all
those things and try to make a change.
