Nyle “Let The Beat Build” from Nyle on Vimeo.
Nyle is an NYU senior, Reynolds Scholarship winner and star of perhaps the most feel good rap video I’ve ever seen. Check back later this week for an interview with the artist.
In the meantime, tell us what your favorite part of the video is in the comments. I can’t help but love “I don’t need no sample, got a girl with a banjo,” cause who doesn’t like a banjo?

@sadie, i’m not entirely convinced of his rapping skills, but the video itself is really fun.

“dudes actin’ like they street when they barely sidewalk”

I’m interviewing him for Local today at 4 so if you guys have any questions you want answered, leave a comment and I’ll ask him for you.
Q: “I don’t need no sample, got a girl with a banjo,” cause who doesn’t like a banjo?
A: Those guys from Deliverance.

@sarah
yea that was one of my favorite lines too. loved this!!
This video kills it, love that it’s on VIMEO too, double win. Great to hear some fresh lyrics that aren’t just talking about “hoes and makin it rain”.
Excellent work top to bottom, had this on repeat most of the day yesterday.

Everything.

Think you forgot to mention all the audio is live–pretty sick.

Yeah, whatever, I know the girl in the screen shot there, and the sexy cellist. Performance majors are hot, if you didn’t already know.

Hm, I recognize a name in this comments section. [Hello Sadie] I’m super impressed by the all live music. Kind of makes me a little bit sad to graduate…just a little bit.

And yes – the banjo line is killer.
I also love, “I couldn’t contemplate how I even made it, from my Late Registration now I’m facing graduation.”
