negative (lee nyce)

negative lee nyce is not an 'average artist'. his middle school teacher burnt his rhyme-book. his father burnt his demo. but after meeting Kill-Matix (now Kid Sugoi), he has created this 'mangled soul' sound of mixing wittiness over these eclectic samples & heavy production. these 'illegal prophets' have defined themselves as a 'breath of fresh air' officially re-vamp'n the culture through creativity & originality...
