Back in September, the LA Leakers had premiered this song on XM/Sirius Satellite radio channel Shade 45 from D’s and the American Noise camp. Now we finally get the CDQ. From the Sole is the first release from his upcoming Mixtape titled The Grey Area. With production from ANMGs in house producer Rick Hughes, they have recreated an early 90s sound with a new age appeal.
Originallity Kills’s own Nicky D’s stops by at Headstone and does a one-on-one interview with Make Moves’s Justin Charles. The I.E.-native speaks on his past projects, future projects, I.E. lifestyle, demonstrates his cooking skills and much more.
This right here is footage of OGKills own Nicky D’s performing live for the first time in LA. We’ll post more footage of the other dope performances as time goes on.

Nicky D’s & Norm J hit us with another video off of his recently released mixtape L.O.S.T. In Location. The visual accurately represents the song by depicting how to cope with heartbreak and struggle. D’s produced, wrote, mixed, and performed the entire song himself.
Here’s the first visual off of Nicky D’s mixtape L.O.S.T. In Location for “Lord Forgive Him”. Directed by Norm J, the video depicts the gully side of the Inland Empire section of Southern California. The video contains Nicky D’s rapping with features from Stevie Crooks & Lil Jeff. Download the entire project L.O.S.T. In Location at http://NickyDs.Bandcamp.com
Here’s a quick day in the life promotional video demonstrating how well suited L.O.S.T. In Location’s production is for your trunk.
As the title suggests, L.O.S.T. In Location is a 16 track story about a boy becoming a man. Standing for Love, Obstacles, Sanity, and Time, each of these words are exactly what has everyone lost in life. Taking inspiration from the movie Lost In Translation, D’s flipped the title to exemplify being stuck between where one is at and where one wants to be in life (hence the location part). Love is the relationship aspect. Obstacles are the everyday challenges one must face. Sanity reflects whether one can remain sane and keep their composure while pursuing their dreams and being lost in location. Lastly, time heals everything and helps everything come to fruition.

Here’s the 1st official single from 17 year old artist Nicky D’s upcoming mixtape L.O.S.T. In Location. With guest verses from Carmine; Nicky D’s, ev4n holt, a hook laced by Brandun DeShay, & a slowed down psychadelic beat produced by Nicky D’s himself, the song tells of the trials and tribulations of being on the come up. Everyone has their own unique talents that they excel with but it’s a matter of who you know (not what you know), hence the track having the suitable title of “Hope They Watching”. L.O.S.T. stands for Love, Obstacles, Sanity, & Time which all tie in to each track on the project.
