Nixon is nearing the release of his new EP, Nix Vicious. The entire project is produced by Chip Vicious with the exception of a Nixon produced bonus track, Gut Music. The release will be celebrated on consecutive nights in West Michigan… August 12 at Billy’s Lounge in Grand Rapids, MI(information above) and at The Westside Inn in Muskegon, MI on August 13. 10pm. No Cover, with Venson Dix, Phillmeeh, and DJ Snax.
I will be performing some songs with Nixon at both of these shows which will be his last for a while as we prepare new music, where he will play more of a producer’s role both in the studio and on stage.
Two songs have been released from the EP, Kenny Powers and Burial At Sea. Shared below from their respective internet homes…5iveit.
Burial At Sea- Nixon, Rick Chyme, Suport, Sir Manley, Ed Nino

At 9:30pm the main event kicks off at Billy’s Lounge. This show is sure to be high energy all damn night long. Here’s some reasons why you should check it out.
Grand Rapids native, Willie The Kid is fresh off the release of his new mixtape, The Fly 2, contining to build on his already solid fan base.

Tekh Togo is a deliberate, focused lyricist who paints descriptive pictures with his pen, a true curator of this culture. Togo continually crafts quality material whether as a solo artist or thru his many collaborations.
DJ Head is consistently working with hip-hop’s elite both behind the mixing board and turntables. He has helped craft mixtapes for various artists including: Cory Gunz and Willie The Kid. Check out an article from MTV.com featuring the man of many trades, HERE.
Also, since my beard will be hosting the night… I’ll probably freestyle and blow minds.
Here’s a video created by Photo Roadies featuring Selim Silla of Binary Star talking about the power and longevity of his groups music. I’ve had the honor of performing with these two recently and it’s definitely amazing to see how many people have been reached by Binary’s art.
