Heart-felt vocals, unique lyrics, and hard hitting Westside Chicago raps are the meat and potatoes of Arvell Vman Bates’ sophomore effort, Nice Guyz Mix Tape.

A mix tape capable of leaving fans shaking, rappers with their jaws on the floor, cougars quivering, and kids understanding the music game for the duration of the, Nice Guyz Mix Tape is as pure and emotionally real as it gets.

With thick layers of instrumentation created by Vman’s trademark worn, in-your-face voice and a tender ear for sophisticated urban/hip hop poignancy, Vman is able to combine the musical smarts with the boldness Chicago hip hop-rap. All while crafting a tightly produced, hook-laden mix tape appealing to indie, Hip Hop Heads, and RnB fans alike.

To put it another way, Vman’s Nice Guyz Mix Tape takes you to a time when the party has started and ended. The premises has been vacated, and you’re wondering how you ended up in this situation, reminiscing of how you did get the girl at the party, and how life doesn’t seem to be coming up roses at the moment.

Though, even with a dark, moody atmosphere looming overhead, sunshine cracks through brilliantly and promises that tomorrow just maybe, be a a lot better. And the day after that may find you shaking the dust off your shoulder and picking yourself right back up and moving forward.

Here is a mix tape that hides the optimism, but has plenty of it. This is the mix tape you always crave after the dark times seem to be setting in. This is the genius of Chicago’s own Arvell Vman Bates.
