How did you choose your name?
I originally just went by the name "Nyce". Every time I rapped for someone they would say that "I'm nice wit the bars" so I just adapted it as my name. I changed the "I" to a "Y" because I thought it looked better. As the years passed I noticed more and more rappers that were coming up used the name "Nyce" as well. I liked the name to much that I didn't wanna give it up so I figured I put my own lil' twist on it. I decided to make it a two part name, but I wanted to add something to it that had true meaning to me behind it. As a kid my favorite place me and my family would vacation at was Daytona Beach Florida. I must have been there like 15 times! So I decided to add "Daytona" which formed my new rap name Nyce Daytona.

How would you define your style?
I would say my style is a cross between a strong underground rapper/ commercial rapper. I have been able to perfect my abilities to deliver ill punch line bars as well as dumb it down for the songs that are more radio friendly. I have the cocky-ness  reminiscent of the old  "Hell on Earth" Prodigy with a voice that is as distinct as they come. I am a pro at picking the perfect flow for any beat that comes my way!

How did you get down with Screwface?
It all started when me and now fellow Screwface member Devin Wade were in a group called "Golden City". We came to an appointment with Traxx Trigga to listen to and pick out some beats for our project that we were working on at the time.  That group however folded, but me and Devin Wade continued to come to Screwface to record. Overtime a strong business and personal relationship built between me and the staff at Screwface and it simply felt like the place for me. I continued to work on various music ranging from mixtapes to original songs for my album.

What would you like to be doing 10yrs from now?
Honestly, I'd like to still be going strong as a rap artist signed to a major deal and still riding for Screwface. I'd like to be living well and raising my daughter in a beautiful home. I also would like to branch out and expand my horizons with other business ventures as well . I'd love to open a restaurant and also be working scouting future talent for Screwface. Most importantly I would like all my niggas to be enjoying all of my success with me.

What do you think about the state of the industry?
I think the game has taken a turn for the worse. It used to be a time when talent actually mattered in hip-hop, but now it seems so non-existent. The industry lacks artist longevity and is flooded by a bunch of "here today, gone tomorrow" emcees. It's bullshit if you ask me. Hip-Hop needs a breath of fresh air. It's in desperate need of a takeover! It needs Screwface! It's that time when the planet and the stars align and something special happens to change the game back to the unstoppable force that it once was.

Why should people buy your album?
I could think of  50 reason why someone should, but first and foremost they will get quality along with quantity. My album is going to take the listener through a journey of  my life with experiences that the common person can relate to. When you unwrap my CD and turn it on for the first time you will instantly know it's a banger. You will get a clear understanding of what makes me me and will truly see that I am unlike any other rapper. My album will showcase my well roundedness over various kinds of beats that are sure to get a lot of "bang time" in the whip and the crib.

How do you plan on separating yourself from the millions on emcees out there?
Simple...I'm a do what I know best.  Make great music. I'm not worried about separating myself from the others because my fans will do that for me once they get a hold of a solid rap album that they have been craving for a long time! That's what I am going to give the people....simply what they want. The game is all about supply and demand, but there's one more important ingredient that others forget. It's that you have to be able to keep up with the times and stay relevant in this forever changing industry.

How can you change the game?
By being a part of the driving force called Screwface. I believe my flavor mixed in the Screwface pot will have a huge impact on what fans of hip-hop will accept and no longer accept as hot music. I plan on raising the bar for myself and others and consistently being innovative and pushing myself to be better everyday I wake up. I feel I have a unique style of my own that exist outside of music. I have my own lingo and comedic personality that's lacking in today's rap game.
