Nickelus F Interview

 
As I was listening to some Drake joints while blogging... I heard Nickelus F spit on a song with Drake called "Look at the Ice", and let me tell you, I was amazed. A day later I saw a Tweet by Complex Mag  that link me to this Nickelus F interview. Here is what Complex mag had to say.-->


...As of late though, Nickelus F’s name has been ringing bells due his association with fellow rookie rapper Drake, our current Cover subject. Drizzy has heaped on the praise, citing F as a huge influence and one of the reasons he began to rap. F has shown himself worthy of the accolades, dropping a string of impressive mixtapes includingHeathen, Thank You, and the Portishead-influenced R.A.R.E. (Reliving A Real Experience). Complex took notice, including him in our list of the game’s most underrated new rappers. Nickelus recently took time to talk to us about his upcoming mixtape Season Premiere, how he became an exterminator, and his collaborative process with Drake…
(Interview Continued)...

Complex: Have you ever helped him with a verse?
Nickelus F: Yeah, I’ve contributed. I’m a team player. I won’t say I wrote a verse that he spit verbatim, but I’ve contributed. I helped out with the hook on “City Is Mine” the hook on “Overdose On Life.” I didn’t do anything on the verse at all.

Complex: Oh, so it’s like sometimes you might help write a hook, or if it’s part of the verse you might help start off a verse, or write some of the verse?
Nickelus F: Yeah, I’ve done that. I know the rumor going around. I don’t want anything I say to be misconstrued. I helped out, you know. [Laughs].

Complex: So anyone who says, “Nickelus F writes for Drake” would be mistaken?

Nickelus F: Yes. Have I done work here and there? Yes I have. Do I write for him on a regular basis? No. Have I written for him on a regular basis? No.

Complex: But you have written for him before?
Nickelus F: Verses?

Complex: Yeah.
Nickelus F: Yes, I have done a verse. Not a bunch of verses. I have helped out with hooks and one verse in particular. But I don’t write no verses for him.

Complex: What was that one verse in particular?
Nickelus F: I don’t want to say! [Laughs].
