Nicky D's - Clientele
- Artist: Nicky D's
- Track: Clientele
- Producer: Rick Hughes
- Album: The Grey Area B Side
Today, I found out there was a Grammy category called Best Recording Package, which essentially is the award for best artwork. I know it's too late to add a nominee this year, but I hope the academy will give Nicky D’s' latest feature, Clientele, a strong look next year; that AOL-esque artwork is soooo dope. The song (a Booth-exclusive world premiere) ain’t half bad, either! Deserving a Grammy for best sample, Rich Hughes chops up Nas’s It Ain’t Hard Tell, layering it over a dusty jazz backdrop. Atop the beat, Nicky showcases a laid-back flow and a confident, charismatic delivery. Clientele is being dubbed a “B Side” from his last project, The Grey Area, which is available for download right here at The DJBooth.
