Ganxsta NIP’s Resurgence
In the early 1990s Rapalot Records had the South on lock. In addition to the Geto Boys artists like Ganxsta NIP would make a huge impact. His influence on the game is something that still exists to this day, but NIP never got his props. After releasing 4 albums with the power house Platinum label, NIP left Rapalot. NIP along with several members of the South Park Coalition continue to this day to release new material. The SPC has a fan base that spans around the globe and all over the states.
NIP released a string of albums, with very minimal press on his own label Psych Ward ENT. Every so often he would be mentioned in an article or a “best of” column because some writers knew he had such a huge influence on the game, but no one would do big stories on him. In fact through out most of his career he rarely did interviews at all. If he got press it was usually something negative such as with the Ronald Ray Howard case, where Howard murdered a patrolman and then blamed it on the music of Tupac, Scarface, and Ganksta NIP among others.
With the release of God of Horrorcore on his own label Psych Ward ENT, NIP knew it was time for him to come back and retake his genre of rap known as Horrorcore. He teamed up with Underground Society Founder and long time music journalist Prezident Bejda. After being a guest on Bejda’s Murder Master Music Show several times, NIP put Bejda on the God of Horrorcore twice to promote his online radio show and Underground Society. NIP also recorded the intro song to another UGS Radio show, K.F.Y.B. Eventually Prez started to manage the South Park Psycho and under Bejda’s management the two managed to rack up the biggest press in the history of the amazing career of NIP.
Before too long NIP was on siccness.net, allhiphop.com, Houston Press, HiphopDX.com, Ihorror.com, Horrorsociety.com, and the Houston Chronicle. Even on Halloween NIP chose his Top 5 Horror flicks for the site Allhiphop.com. It is only a matter of time before the right person sees the marketability of the Horrorcore Pioneer.
What is the significance to Ganxsta NIP getting press in 2014 when he should have been getting it for the last two decades? The significance is his contributions to rap were so huge that they were pretty much swept under the rug. The story of NIP and what he created and contributed is now being told to the world via some of the biggest media outlets not only in rap but in news print. Not only has he gained long overdue props, but he has also proved that he can still be a contender against anyone. His music is on point and the God of Horrorcore proves that.
