About This Item
Following the of his Running Wild album, Grieves let loose a flurry of new music, surprising and delighting fans with fresh new singles each week. He was able to express his growth and hunger in this new work, as the content and production ranged from light-hearted and jazzy to intense and introspective. After releasing a string of five standalone singles he compiled them all onto one sensational project with three additional unreleased tracks, and introduced it as The Collections of Mr. Nice Guy. The Collections of Mr. Nice Guy showcased a wide range of Grieves lyrical expression, as well as his production talents. On InchPerspectiveInch, Grieves waxes about the hypocritical standards musicians often face, while InchLet The Devil InInch addresses the demons he grapples with personally, rapping InchThat shadow on my shoulder weighs a ton, y'all pretend like my experience with hell was just for fun (nah).Inch On the lighter side, Grieves invites Chris Webby to trade bars back & forth on InchMan DownInch, where the pair go on to skewer less-than-stellar MCs holding space in the industry. Meanwhile, InchI'll Be BetterInch delivers a melancholy reflection on the tropes of heartbreak, letting go of the old and making room for the new. At once, The Collections of Mr. Nice Guy stands at the intersection of all things fans that have historically drawn fans to Grieves-truthful and relatable lyricism over soulful synths and drums.
