Critical Review

It was thought that Emcee N.I.C.E. would not recover as an independent artist given the major blow back that was received when Stacey Dash who was featured on his first single release Life of the Party ran into a national firestorm over Mitt Romney as her political choice. However the record debut proved that the backlash was over as he entered the Billboard Charts.
