Nile channels empathy and insight on his forthright new EP

After a few months of collaborations, snippets, and lots of anticipation, Nile has released his latest EP "Hunter."
The Phat Nerdz emcee returns with a seven-track EP that blends the smooth sounds of jazz, R&B, and down-tempo electronic music with his own signature twist. With his steady flow and confident self-awareness, Nile addresses the stark current climate and daily obstacles with a sense of maturity and poise beyond his years. His self-assurance is engaging, inspiring and evokes a notable level of compassion and empathy.

The Northside rapper uses his thoughtful narrative with a polished and velvety beat, collaborating with producers like Main.Key, 39tharchitect, Stoic Beats, Mulatto Beats and spice god &thatguyeli, to propel the contrasting elements. The noteworthy composition is a high-marked result that is evident of the rapper's growth and it's only telling of what's to come.

Listen to the EP below and be sure to check out Nile at the Pabst Brewery & Taproom this Friday night with Yogie B & Keez and Von Alexander:
