The Niceguys: What the Hell Is A Niceguy?

The good folks at The WellVersed sat down with the Houston-based crew to speak on everything from their name to their favorite beers…

TWV: Where did the name The Niceguys come from?

F: Around 2007, Yves started doing this adlib “niiice” all the time because of this joke on “South Park.” He kept doing it on every song ; we thought it was hilarious and it started to stick. Then one day we were in a meeting with someone who wanted to sign us at the time. He asked if we got a deal what we would call ourselves. I said…”The Niceguys.” Ever since that day we kinda ran with that name. No exciting story and no drawing names out of a hat. Just a natural happening.

I remember that episode; it was when Ike was having an affair with his kindergarten teacher.

  1. these dudes are dope. Killing their lane imo, other acts should take notes. dope beats, dope rhymes, dope videos. only a matter of time before heads catch on and these cats take off.

  2. I’m a big fan of these guys. I like how their music comes together, the fact that they put out videos just fucking around for promotion, and that they be themselves rather than putting on a front.
    I’m really looking forward to the next CD/EP/LP or whatever they decide to put out.
