Here an artist that goes largely unnoticed, at least on Chicago blogs, who's had successful record placement on movies such as 'Brick Mansion', TV show 'Elementary', and 'Battlefield: Hardline''. He's also one of the many emcees who've hit that point in his career where it was time to move to one of the coast of the US to further his voice in music.

Since these place in popular media he hasn't softened on his skills as rapper. Today N.E.P.H.E.W delivers a new project titled "Gratitude: A-Side", a nine track EP and the first of two parts. N.E.P  presents to listeners with raps of where he currently is in his life and motivation on "Californication", some street raps on "Kingston", and a showcase lyrical ability throughout the project.
