Late last night, the homie Tunji passed on this video of an artist out of Richmond, CA. Simply stating it’s “dope shit”. I left the tab open for the AM and after one viewing I have to agree with his sentiments. It’s inevitable when posting an artist for the first time at the dopehouse that some lame will come around screaming how ‘late’ we are. *shrugs… some folks have no life right? Anyways, it’s not always about that. Sometimes it’s about putting some folks onto some dope music. Which this is. West!

Nio’s new album HIPHOP is definitely worth the $8 on iTunes, and it comes with the “Gratefull” video as well. His first album “Blood, Sweat, and Triumph” is really good too, it’s under the artist name Tha Gift on iTunes.
[...] Yesterday I featured a video from an Richmond, CA’s NIO Tha Gift. Fresh blood at the dopehouse but has been doing his thing well before. WIth that said, I wanted to share another track off his recently released album H.I.P. H.O.P. (which you can cop on iTunes now). And as a bonus I’ve included a download link to the visuals. [...]

dude sounds kinda like freeway, but ‘swag’ on the hook and too many ‘uhs’ in the verses made me not like the track.
