Coming from the west coast and Long Beach a region that has produced stars like SNOOP DOGG, NATE DOGG, WARREN G, BAD AZZ, DAZ, KURRUPT, CROOKED I, THA EASTSIDAZ, and many more, pushes C-N1CE to work harder to fulfill the expectations he feels he must live up to representing the LBC.

His versatility shines with his latest songs like "We Could Do It (get low)," a club banger that has had DJ's and clubs throughout Southern Calfornia going crazy to "Hotel Lobby", an R&B track showing his smooth side, down to "Say What u Want" ft. Glasses Malone, where he connects with the streets and displays his amazing lyrical abilities.
Born November 20th, 1987, C-N1CE is an athletic, outgoing, multi-talented young man who grew up in the streets of "North Side" Long Beach. He was exposed to a lifestyle no young person should see from gangs, violence, robbery, drug use, to theft, prostitution, and other negative influences. But instead of getting caught up in this lifestyle, C-N1CE turned to basketball which kept his drive and determination moving in a positive direction. Basketball set the foundation for both his work ethic and the passion that now comes through in his music.
C-N1CE'S love for hip-hop began in high school when he met VicDamone and D-High, two rappers who shared similar aspirations. The three boys started a group together called "UT Three Tha Hardway" and were signed to an independent label by owner/producer Khemo. In 2002, around C-N1CE'S 15th birthday, UT Three Tha Hardway recorded their first album, Under Oath. The album was sold in Tower Records and was a wonderful experience for him to gain local exposure and learn about the music industry.
Eager to work on a solo project, in the summer of ’06 C-N1CE recorded a mixtape: Jus Wait Vol. 1 Straight outta Long Beach in a house studio in just three days." Which led to the success of C-N1CE and cousin / business partner D-MASS alone selling over 5,000 units around mainly Los Angeles and Orange County in just 5 months. Despite the success and money, N1CE decided to stop selling the mixtape due to the fact that he felt he had got so much better from every angle over the course of the time he had been selling the mixtape. “I always want to put out new music to the people and every time I do a song I want to go a notch higher and I feel that I improve with each session."
Recently his unique style has been getting a lot of attention. Now C-N1CE is part of 4.0 Productions, a team of talented producers who have helped him come into his own as an artist. Growing as a writer and entertainer, C-N1CE is determined to knock down doors in the music industry. This fine artist is looking to grow and become one of the most sought after rappers in the industry.
Just trying to get the name known C-N1CE has performed at school events and clubs throughout Los Angeles and Orange County, in addition to local cable shows. C-N1CE=Unsigned hype!!!! Star in the making: JUS WAIT. T.I. couldn't have said it any better..."Life's about who makes it, not about who makes it the fastest, and I will...JUS WAIT!
