Rob Niece is a deep soul.  In his presentation he seems to value his Inner Being, his belief in universal love and appears to use that as a driving force. I totally understand that perspective. It allows one to move forward no matter what and gives one a feeling that things will work themselves out. Stay on a subject only long enough to feel for a solution and then keep going forward! This is reflected well in his persona, but what about his music?

A lot of times I expect a good 1/3 to 1/2 of an album to be good if I liked my first impression. This is what I hoped from "Metta World Niece".  As I listened to the album I acutally found myself trying to find a song that I didn't like.  While "Body Language" and "Nexxt Level" were my favorites, none sucked. A couple were probably just good but most were surprisingly enjoyable. I say "surprisingly" because I didn't expect the whole album to be good just by default experience. This is a nice change, especially with Hip Hop.

Rob also has a voice that you will like. It doesn't strain, it doesn't do things it shouldn't and his persona is in each song delivery. He has a variety which is good news as well.
