With Nico the Beast getting so much pub lately, you’d think I was running a company with the guy and/or promoting his album or something!?!? 

Trav at Wake Your Daughter Up was kind enough to spotlight Nico for his New Artist Spotlight segment.  This one’s pretty thorough: some free MP3′s, YouTube clips and such.  WYDU is one of my favorite blogs and I’m pretty excited that Beat Garden is joining the ranks of MCs that get the stamp of approval.

Also…

Head over to Nico’s MySpace page for some new photos from the Comcast Hip Hop Showcase we just did last week at the Trocadero.  Check out some great photos from Jimmy Giambrone and Mrs. Beast.

And while you’re at Nico’s MySpace, be sure to vote for Feed the Beast Week 5.  This week’s steel caged grudge match is between “Whoa Freestyle” vs.  “Boom Freestyle,” probably the most evenly-matched pair of classic instrumentals thus far in the series. 

Nico + 2 classic east coast bangers = beastastic!!

Coming later this week…my review of The Incredible Hulk

*EDIT*

My man Ekko over at Berkeley Place just did a quick write-up on No Beast So Fierce  as well, comparing Nico’s style to Masta Ace and Boot Camp Click (!).  You can read it here
