Atlantic City Hip Hop Artist NIRO

The track was produced by J.DOE who also directed the music video as well. Niro is on top of his game as a lyricist, transcending the norm of what most people believe a hardcore rap artist should be. What I like most about the song is that Niro's lyrics give insight into what AC life is like for Black Americans as a whole and not just the youth living the street life. To me, I feel as though most of our young Black hip hop artists are centrally focused on what their lives are like from their perspectives and they miss out on how their actions, and the actions of others (as well as the law) affects Black American communities as a whole. Niro may not be writing lyrics based on all Black American communities, but he doesn't need to. He lives in Atlantic City, NJ where there is enough fodder for the pen than most people outside of NJ and the Tri-State area may know.
