KICE OF COURSE

Born Kelvin Bell in 1977 in a low-class section of downtown Elizabeth,
NJ - also known as “Eastwick” - Kice began utilizing his artistic
abilities at the young age of 17. But it wasn’t until Kice held it
down for a month straight on then DJ Big Dennis’ show “Home Jams”
which was structured for unsigned artists to be heard on NYC's Hot 97.
This oppurtunity made Kice realize that this was definitely going to
be a major part of his future. Kice’s distinct voice & flow set him
apart from all other artists as well as his snappy execution of punch
lines, metaphors, and storytelling, every word and syllable echoes in
the ears of his listeners. Some of his major influences include but
not limited to, Sting, Jay Z and Michael Franks. Oddly, most of Kice’s
inspiration does not come from hip hop artists. Kice’s drive and
determination led him to produce and distribute his own CDs Kice went
on to sign a deal with Mr. Len’s Smacks Records. With this in place
Kice has toured numerous different parts of the country leaving crowds
astounded whether it was an audience of 20 people or 500 people. Kice
always ends a show knowing he has recruited new fans and this is one
of the keys to Kice’s motivation. Kice’s presence alone let’s you know
where he wants to go in this game called hip hop. When in the presence
of Kice you cannot help but feel his music even when not a fan of hip
hop, due to his welcoming yet mysterious demeanor, which leaves the
audience wondering what he is going to do next. In Kice’s stage show
you will not find in any run of the mill hip hop venue.
