Nyzzy Nyce is a fairly new artist hailing from Fort Wayne, Indiana who also happens to head the MyCity Movement which is a community-driven “music-based project” which “began as a means to showcase the many talented musicians and artists within the Fort Wayne community and instill a renewed sense of civic pride for residents. ” “I Just Rather” is his first single off his upcoming Nothing Nyce mixtape out this Summer, and the song takes a rather hypnotic and minimalist approach almost reminiscent of Cudder. So now, we leave it to you, Dopehouse readers. Thoughts? Caught a contact high? Trash? UPDATE: Grab the mp3 after the jump.

By now, we’re sure most of you have been giving ‘Ye’s sixth studio album multiple spins, attempting to gauge where it may fit, genre-wise and absorbing the very dark tone of the LP. Yes, the album is dark. Like 90s industrial, Nine Inch Nails dark. As one Rolling Stone writer summed it up: “at its nastiest, his makes Kid A or In Utero or Trans all look like Bruno Mars.” Some may be disenchanted by the lack of chopped soul samples, while others, like myself, may actually dig the anti-establishment, dancehall-laced, punk rock vibes of his latest outing. Either way you look at it, you can’t rule out his ear for a good sample. Peep the sample set below. No sample snitching here since all of these have been readily made available online.
