HHDX Affiliate Nino Bless Readies Debut Mixtape

    Brooklyn emcee and HipHopDX blogger [click to read] Nino Bless will release debut mixtape, Untold Scriptures on May 20th. The tape will be hosted and presented by respected industry veteran deejays Big Mike, J-Love and Mick Boogie.

    I put this together like an album with 19 joints – and the majority of them are full length records, Bless said. “So far, the response has been dope. At this moment I have to keep it going, and I think this is a good representation of what I can bring to the table.

    Nino added that while he carefully waited for his debut, this will be far from the final tape released this year. “Crooked I and myself are setting up to drop a mixtape towards the end of the year. Dow Jones from The Bizness is going to chip in with some beats and help put the project together along with somebody else – we ain’t sure who yet, but it’ll be from the east coast.

    The emcee, who has worked with Saigon, Kool G Rap and others, told DX of the site’s viral contribution to his longstanding buzz. “DX believed in me from jump. They seen the movement off rip and we started with the blogs which lead to me building my momentum. I wouldn’t be in this position if not for them. There’s not many outlets us emcees have, but this shows there’s real cats still in the game trying to push a hungry artist such as myself and quality Hip Hop. If you followed me from day one on DX or any other outlet, thanks and the tape is free so enjoy.
