“Nice Audio”: Nébula Nice and The Audio Join Forces for a Short but Great Hip Hop Collaboration4/6/2022 After having pretty active careers of their own, rapper Nébula Nice and beatmaker/producer The Audio finally got together for Nice Audio, a project that finds both artists displaying many of the sounds they’re willing to explore while keeping their essence in the world of boom bap and lyricism. Nice Audio starts with a soulful & laid-back intro with a bit of a history lesson regarding hip hop origins to get listeners in the mood of what’s about to come. Afterwards, “Tiempo”, a track that reflects on its title’s subject matter through a chill instrumental and almost spoken word delivery of verses. Next, “Marvin Santiago” is a fantastic display of Nébula Nice’s lyrical abilities as he pays tribute to the legend which bears the song’s title while deeming himself as great & The Audio provides a horn-driven beat. Then “Triste Y Vacía” provides a story-driven reflection that is accompanied by some great boom bap production. The first part of the project closes with “Mi Poodle”, a fun reflection about man’s relationship with a pet. The second half of the project starts with “Mueve ese culo”, a tune that asks listeners to do exactly what the title asks through some southern hip hop/trap-influenced production. Subsequently, “Lenguaje Roto” is a return to boom bap sounds as Nébula Nice once again displays his lyrical skills alongside The Audio’s production and some scratches by Nuff Ced. Afterwards, “Kocaina en el microhonda” is a dark production as both musicians explore the grim world of drugs. Finally, the album closes with “Hanna Barbera”, another display of Nébula’s abilities as he raps over some abstract production by The Audio.
Overall, Nice Audio is a fantastic collaboration by two artists who are merely showing what they could do when they join forces. Hopefully, this is just the start of a potential continuous combined effort.
