Nicky B's career gets a boost opening for Kanye West
Singer Nicky B recently returned to the island after a three-week jaunt opening for hot rapper of the moment, Kanye West. Nicky B, the son of veteran music producer Mikey Bennett, says the experience was a good one and he learnt a lot while being on the road.
"I just came back from L.A. where I was on tour with Lil Zane, we were promoting the first single of his album which I am featured on. I just shot my new medley video for two songs, one on the Siren riddim, 'Swarm Me', and 'Jus Move' on the Hello Moto riddim. I am doing some work with Danny Champagnie and Don Corleone," Nicky B said.
He is also working on a album called 'R and D (Rhythm and Dancehall)'. Nicky B's real name is Nicholas Bennett. He has been getting some attention lately with some solid recordings that he has been churning out over the past year. Nicky B's vocal strengths have been aptly demonstrated on dancehall rhythms such as 'French Vanilla', 'Good to Go' and 'Egyptian' where his distinctive voice is almost always a favourite of dancehall fans.
