With a voice that commands your attention from the first note combined with some classic rhyme styling, multi-platinum producer/songwriter & hip-hop recording artist EMCEE N.I.C.E. from El Paso, Texas makes his arrival into to the Gospel Hip-Hop genre.
N.I.C.E. a trailblazer in hip-hop/R&B music has accumulated numerous accolades that includes over 30+ professional recordings, platinum and gold awards, The Billboard Charts, TV shows and an association with an Academy award.

N.I.C.E. states that his “album is a celebration of Christ that has a blend of scripture and creative metaphors that will give the listener spiritual food for thought”.
The album is preceded by two singles, “I Got Angels” (inspired by Gospel Music Hall of Fame and Legend Richard Smallwood’s “Angels”) and “On Your Way Up” featuring Elia Esparza from “The Voice” season 11 on Adam Levine’s team.
