YNY’s Interview with Nickless

January 5, 2011 By Ashley Nuñez 2 Comments

Nickless isn’t a regular name, where did it come from?

My birth name is Nicholas. I just like the concept of [Nickless and] keeping it simple. Like less is more. I try to live like that. My birth name means like victorious people and I just like that and I wanted to keep that.

And when did you start making music?

I started when I was eight. It was actually like a movie project. I was rapping about like ninjas are trying to kill me.  High school and after high school was when I really got into rapping. I was doing like mixtapes and stuff like that. I was with an independent label over there in California that wasn’t really pushing my music. So I moved over to New York…and I just started pounding the pavement.

How would you categorize your music?

My album is called Tellavision but its Tell.a.vision. And basically the first track is called “Sneak Preview.” So it talks about like: One Man, One Way, One Destiny. I got tracks that are about bullshit just like let’s kick it and have a good time but there’s always an underlying message about positivity. It’s storytelling. It’s a lost art like Biggie, Tupac, [and] Slick Rick.

NYC gets their Encore Heineken Inspire Concert!

November 5, 2010 By Ashley Nuñez Leave a Comment

This past July, Heineken Inspire held a free private concert on the west side of Manhattan. At the event there were various give-aways, Nintendo Wii’s to play with, a Rolling Stone Photo Station, FREE HEINEKEN, and of course great music. Heineken Inspire brought out NY’s J. Cole, DC’s Wale, and surprise guest Rick Ross. The venue was packed but that only made for an intimate space to interact with the performing artist. The event was such a success that NY won the Heineken Inspire Encore Show.

The Encore Heineken Inspire concert location is being held a secret until the morning of November 13th. Their Facebook page announced musical talents Ryan Leslie, Cee Lo Green, Pete Rock, Roxy Cottontail, and Queen’s native Hip-Hop legend Nas will be gracing the stage at the Encore Heineken Inspire. With much about the event being kept a secret, there are several sites that allow you to text Encore to a short code and reserve a ticket ensuring that you are one of the hundreds sent a text disclosing the event’s location.

For more information about the artists who will be in attendance at the Encore Heineken Inspire show and how to secure your tickets, visit their Facebook page at Facebook.com/HeinekenRedStarSoul.
