Very different!

I actually just checked neeks music out on youtube because he has posted his links on my personal page several times, and enjoyed what i found. He has in depth lyrics, good beats, good voice, and i see a bright future for this young guy.

Alot of Passion!

I got invited by a friend through facebook to go see Warren G in Santa Barbara. I had no clue who Ninja Neeks was or his DJ, but after their opening performance I was impressed enough to actually continue to follow him and his guys, they have a great song selection and put alot of heart into it!

What to expect

I know how to bring the best out of people, im very empathetic and for a Hip Hop artist, this is rare. So the crowd usually feels accepted by me, which in return grants me acceptance in their eyes. So once it hits them that im not shining anyone, they connect person to person which allows my music deeper access into their experience. Me and my DJ get the crowd to interact with us, in several ways, so they feel included in the show even more. The music content consists of social commentary, mostly things your average person can relate to, we don't do the Gangsta/Bling rap, id consider it mostly conscious.

About

Name is Niko, stage name is Ninja Neeks. What I do is perform live hip hop vocals AND Emcee (crowd control) over my productions and fellow producers productions. My Dj Joe Rock handles the turntables and provides the transitions through songs, I accompany that with my story telling and rhyme. Most of our music is up-tempo and finely produced, and we understand emotional/mood transitioning very well due to our experience, so based on the location/type of event, we have many different setlists available and perform carrying ourselves as professionals. I was Born and Raised in Philly (PA), moved to Santa Barbara in 2008 (when I was 18) to take classes for Audio Engineering. I happened to write music/perform/produce as well, and I met a local DJ in Lompoc, CA who convinced me to take stage. I produced/wrote/recorded/released an album via iTunes/CDBABY entitled "Law Of Love", and have opened for artists such as Yelawolf, The Game, Warren G, Wu Tang Clan, Petey Pablo, Pharoahe Monche, Lil B, Kid Ink, Jedi Mind Tricks, Dead Prez, Del The Funky Homosapien, Rappin 4-Tay, RBX, and several others (which I have online footage of on Youtube, my screename after the ( / ) is nikoproductionz.
