EXCLUSIVE!!! FIRST LOOK AT NICKEL'S MUSIC VIDEO FOR "IMPOSSIBLE FEATS!"
They call me NICKEL. Sometimes Plato. AKA Flow Montana. AKA Bruce Illest. My life is devoted to lyricism and beat making. I've lived in New York for while now. Miami before that, born and raised in The Hartbeat and Norwet for a minute. I'm nomadic, rescourceful, loyal, driven, compassionate, and I thirst for the mic. I speak for, "The People." Be sure to say, "What up." BE MY FRIEND FOR REAL, NO FAKE SHIT!
-----------10/30/08 - NEW VIDEO RELEASED FOR "IMPOSSIBLE FEATS." WHICH IS ON THE UPCOMING RELEASE "LOOSE LIPS VOL 2 THE UN-SAMPLEABLES." LOOSE LIPS VOL 1 WAS RELEASED IN SPRING 2007 AND FEATURED NICKEL AND GUESTS DROPPING HARD LYRICS OVER MANY FAMOUS INDUSTRY BEATS. THIS TIME NICKEL DECIDED TO TAKE A DIFFERENT APPROACH PRODUCING AND TAKING BEATS THAT WERE MADE FROM SAMPLES THAT WOULD ALMOST DEFINITELY NOT BE CLEARED BY ANY PUBLISHING HOUSE WITHOUT BEAUCOUP DOUGH. THUS THE TITLE "THE UNSAMPLEABLES." THE MIXTAPE CD IS PACKED WITH AMAZING LYRICS FROM HIMSELF AND BLAZING CAMEOS.
----------AS FOR THE VIDEO, THIS SEPTEMBER, NICKEL AND 3 OF HIS CLOSE FRIENDS SET OUT ON A 4 DAY TREK OVER THE INCAN TRAIL IN PERU, ENDING AT THE LOST CITY OF MACCHU PICHU ON THE MORNING OF THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE'S SPRING EQUINOX. ON AN INSPIRED WHIM NICKEL DECIDED TO FILM THIS VIDEO ALONG WITH HELP FROM "COUNCIL OF THE SUN" DJ O POSITIVE ON CAMERA. THE END RESULT IS AN INTENSE VIDEO OF NICKEL DROPPING RELENTLESS LYRICS OVER A JIMI HENDRIX RIFF WHILE RUNNING AROUND THE RUINS OF ONE OF "NEW 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD."

Sounds Like: MY DEBUT SOLO ALBUM, “THE JOURNEY OF PLATO THE ORPHAN,†IS NOW AVAILABLE. PLEASE SUPPORT INDIE HIP HOP AND BUY ONE TODAY.
NOW AVAILABLE IS - Nickel's debut solo LP, "The Journey of Plato the Orphan." ..This hip hop purest has put together an album packed with lyrical onslaught and relentlessly, head jerking beats, totaling in 16 tracks. This 65 minute recording at times may seem to be formated more like a musical than a standard hip hop album. The songs which are presented in a specific order to tell a story, and are set amongst a scripted backdrop of Nickel and his crew of rascals, driving for success, while a a chain of provocative political events continuously place obstacles in their way. The concept is REVOLUTIONARY, in more ways than one.
But don't get it confused. The majority of your listen will be consumed with, quite simply put, great hip hop music. "The Journey," features production from Nickel himself. and Giogrephy, Ace One, Columbeyond, and Disgusto, who are all phenomenal producers spanning out across the globe, Blazing lyrical cameos are made by Discrete of Aboriginal, and Citizen Kane and Dik Daztardly from Nickel's crew, "Money Hungry Ba$tard$." Other vocal additions are added by Alej of The Linx, and jazz vocalists Michelle Walker and Bobby Harden. To say this is a simple album of beats and rhymes would be an understatement. The album is packed with dope lyrics, banging beats, political undertones, live musicians, comedians, DJ's scratching, and more... This album is a carnival for those who have never let go of what true hip hop is, and for those who wish to join the resurgence that brings it back around full circle. "THE JOURNEY OF PLATO THE ORPHAN" can be purchased right now by hitting the PAYPAL icon below thar says "add to cart."

I RELATE TO THAT LITTLE GUY IN THE BOONDOCKS. HE'S AN INTELLIGENT URBAN YOUTH, WITH A DESIRE TO FREE THE MINDS OF THE MASSES. IT'S REALLY TIME TO OPEN YOUR EYES. START SEEING THINGS FOR WHAT THEY ARE, NOT WHAT YOU ARE TOLD THEY ARE. THE CORPORATE/GOVERNMENT/INDUSTRIAL WAR MACHINE, WHICH ARE ALL ONE ENTITY NOW, ONLY WANT TO HERD US AND MOLD US INTO THEIR LIKING. TO BE GOOD SPENDERS, GOOD EARNERS, GOOD SOLDIERS, BLIND PATRIOTS. THEY OWN ALL THE MEDIA WHICH HAS TRUELY BECOME OUR NEW GOD. WE BELIEVE ANYTHING THEY SAY. THAT'S WHY I LIKE THIS COMIC STRIP BELOW. CHECK IT. PEACE - 5
