I am loving it. Real Hip Hop with class and a story line. I haven’t heard anything this good since 2 Pac. I would love to preview more.


* By Lauen Kane NY Times Magazine at September 18th, 2009


Very inspiring! I have been following Menice for two years and as a critic I still have found nothing bad to say. He is the complete package! Look, sex appeal, Sound is smooth at tines very raw but still keeps it balanced and caries himself the way an artist should. I love Menice’s delivery and his writing should be used for music assignments to teach in writing studies. Menice’s arrangements are unlike anyone else and his structure is currently being studied by professors at Yale University and Full Sail both two of the top schools in the country. I love this song “Stay On My Hustle”, and I believe Menice will be recognized very soon by the industry and could be a huge success story.
