It's not too often that you're fortunate enough to come across an artist with the precision and drive of a Ninja.    Especially when it's an artist actually named  Nolan the Ninja who happens to be in your own backyard.

I found about about Nolan when I stumbled across his song "That's When Ya Lost"  (using the Souls of Mischief beat) on Kevin Nottingham a few weeks back.  When I heard him start rapping,  I found myself checking the date of the post.   The kid sounded like he was straight out of  1995 by way of Doc Brown's DeLorean.   So being a complete slappy for the golden era,  I immediately pulled the track and used it in mini-episode #202 of the HoodHype show.  Then came the bonus:  he's from Detroit.

So of course we had to have him on the show, and of course we had to ask him to drop some bars with our in-house rap genius, MOLA1.

Check out Nolan's full interview and another in-show freestyle he did in Episode #207 of the HoodHype Show.
