Consisting
of four of the hottest and most versatile M.C.'S on the east
coast N.I.T. is poised to take the world by storm. Each artist
is unique in his own right which makes N.I.T an unstoppable
force in the music world.
Ereds slurish spitty wordplay is
unique. Po's in your face punchy breakdown method reminds you
of Jay-Z. Thirst is going to get your attention with his deep
gangsta B-More slang. He's the thug practitioner. Ered's
cousin Sosa is the youngest in the group and has that raspy,
slurish and aggressive rhyme style. He's full of B-More
slang also and his mob style lyrics will keep you on
point.
