Nick Grant The Sing Along (Ft. Ricco Barrino)

Flow, delivery and lyricism. Meet Nick Grant, an emerging artist from South Carolina. Sounding like a southern Nas-incarnate, Grant makes spitting over this Organized Noize produced track-- the same group responsible for many of Outkast's songs -- look easy.

It's rare a hip-hop artist has this much raw talent and passion, and seems compelled solely by his love for making music. Whether you're a hip-hop fan or not, if you appreciate lyrics with a salient message and smooth instrumentation, including Ricco Barrino's sweet-sweet crooning over the hook, Nick Grant is an artist you need to experience.

P.S. he's got a great Tiny Desk Concert so peep that if you're vibing with him.
