The
Song:
The Niceguys' new single, "It's Like That," is the latest from their inclement debut album, The Show, and, in some ways, the most important yet. "Without recording this song there would absolutely be no album," reveals Christolph, one-half of the group's producer core (along with Free). "It sparked something inside us to continuously make good music and to push our talents and start taking music more seriously." This decision to get serious was a good one, as "It's Like That" will be the latest single to garner video treatment in the coming weeks and will also serve as the first official remix from The Show, with some exciting soon-to-be-announced guests.
The song makes no attempt to be anything other than a good time. The lyrics are fun and breezy and serve to show off the skills of Yves Saint, the rapper of the group. "One deep / Two Swisher Sweets / You can't move like I move / It's like I got three feet" he rhymes effortlessly, calling to attention his own expertise with the mic. Complimenting Yves' rhymes is a complex but equally enjoyable instrumental featuring brass, woodwinds, vocal chops, and other instrumentation contributing to a sometimes upbeat, sometimes relaxed backing track. "Basically, we were just having fun," explains Christolph. "This is our soundtrack to the fun we will continue to have while pushing the album." It's clear that, no matter how seriously The Niceguys take their work, their goal in making music will always be to entertain themselves and their fans.

The
Background:
The Niceguys epitomize the law of dynamics. They stimulate development and progress, and they also thrive off their own original ideas. The Niceguys' MC, DJ, and Producers consist of four young men by the names of Yves (MC), Candlestick (DJ), Free (Producer), and Christolph (Producer), respectively. Experiencing The Niceguys' chemistry live on stage is when the audience can witness that there is more to the group than meets the ear. The guys' personality and talent, as well as the lyrical content of their music, combine to provide a feel-good atmosphere for whoever is around. Having released The Green Room EP for free download in late 2009, The Niceguys have been quickly garnering attention from writers, bloggers, and tastemakers alike. The Niceguys' debut LP, The Show, will be dropping in the fall of 2010 via The Pi Group.
