Rice, straight out of Webster Mass, is coming with the ultimate Juice. It’s a song for all audiences with many references to the movies in which Tupac was the main character. “I have so much respect for Tupac because of his Passion for Life and his fight for family and community.” The rapper asks of his audience: When your integrity really comes into question what will you do to secure love respect and power? Is money really the answer?
This song shows Rice daring to be the star of his own movie – showing his unique style in the process. The beat is light yet impactful. The use of the horns really adds depth and dynamism to the song. Rice’s lyrics, though simple, make his point clear. His flow stays consistent, making moments of extra skill able to resonate more. This also allows the smoothness of the beat to breathe; existing on its own. The references to Tupac make for a fun listen as you try to see which of the rapper’s movies you remember. There are enough variations to the beat to keep listeners pulled in without being confusing.
More than just an artist and entertainer, Rice is also a philanthropist and activist in his community. He is a second-year graduate student of Nichols College Bison Class of 2019. While participating in organizing the BLM movement in the conservative town of Webster Mass, the rapper had the urge to send a message through his music. The effects of his life’s challenges, he tried to reflect in his work.

A Somali metalcore/deathcore Artist just when you thought you heard everything. This is the type of art everyone needs to hear one that is not simply formed of inner-city struggle and then you just do the obvious thing and get pigeonholed into making drill or hip-hop, or whatever is deemed to be as the kids say “popping” at the time. This is not also a story of privilege where your parents gave you every advantage there is, you studied music at the best schools and college, and your father finally decided to cash in on that favour the big music executive owes him. No this is a story of falling in love with a music genre that no one in your immediate circle understands. Realising, people you have known for years think you are weird and perhaps worship satin. This is a story of losing friends because they want you to conform and just be “normal”. This is a story of being someone you choose to be rather than what people expect you to be and standing up for your individuality. This r
Where are you from and what’s it like in your hometown? I am born and mostly raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts. New Bedford is full of hardworking and creative people.

The art scene is really taking off over these last few years and added with some great restaurants, it's really growing. What inspired you to develop your craft as a music artist?

After that it was just curiosity and finding out where I wanted to go with it and being open to new adventures. Has the lifestyle of being a poet influenced your personal life in any way? If so would you care to shed light on your experience? Poetry has literally saved my life a couple times. I get lost in my head and writi
