The Xav – Always Nice

The very diverse artist that is Raphael Xavier “The Xav“ dropped his first single on the label Golden Sneakers International . Appropriately titled “Always Nice“, The Xav talks about his reasons for becoming an artist, his experiences in the game and much more in this track that makes it impossible not to bob your head. The single was produced and scratches were implemented by Jeff Kc Chalmers. Great input by both artists makes this an all-around dope track, which is laid-back in style, but carries serious undertones. “Always Nice” is a release from a forthcoming album as yet untitled.
