**DISCLAIMER**
---------------------
The tracks that I put together take lots of time, effort and hard work,
and I expect to be compensated for that, just as you expect to get
paid for selling your album/mixtape, etc. Asking for free material also
DRASTICALLY deteriorates your credibility as an artist who
takes his/her craft seriously! Only contact me about production
for your project(s) if you are indeed SERIOUS about
what you do!

What Industry Insiders Are Saying
About Nick Cicero:


"You really are a fantastic producer. I have to look for you. The beats are clean and clear, you have brightness in just the right places. Very unassuming guy too - no need to put on some fake 'street' look for credit. You are doing good work, my man"

"I think you make really good beats. You're on good music, yes you're making good music. Your making music that can take a little altering and thrown on a mainstream album to be more specific."

"I'm really feeling these tracks, they are definitely commercial tracks, great job on these."
