R8 News: producer gets called out of nowhere to work on it
Quote:
Yeah these big stars can call anybody and people are down. My friend Nic Nac got called out of nowhere to work on Rihanna's album. You never know. I mean I started off as a rapper and here I am writing R&B songs for white girls. That's what they used to do ... old Motown songs were 20 musicians and 5 producers, all coming in to collaborate.
Nic Nac is a new producer in this industry, who is responsible for producing hits for urban and R&B stars, including R&B Princess herself, Zendaya. Nic Nac produced her buzz single My Baby, which is available on Zendaya's self-titled debut album (iTunes link) (Amazon link). That song received positive feedback back in early 2014 and even got played on Rhythmic and Urban radio few times, despite ever getting a proper radio release. Also, Nic Nac recently produced yet another song for Zendaya - My Jam featuring Bobby Brackins and Jeremih, and it will be released on February 2nd, so keep an eye out for that one.
NicNac produced Loyal & Came to Do on Chris Brown's X. Since those two songs sound pretty similar, we can probably guess what sound Rihanna's looking for from him.
I don't really believe it, but the fact that she still listens to Chris Brown-alike ish (and CB himself, after everything that happened, but that's another topic for discussion) and wants such type of minor urban ish (Future-A$AP's-dolla$ign$-and-all-those-people) to fill her album (I don't tell it's bad, I just tell it's a step behind to her, earlier stage)... this really upsets and bothers me.
Nic Nac was confirmed AGES ago tho . Its called "All Night" (not to mistake with "A Night" which is the track from the R8 experience and the Florence sample)
