NICK SPEED

It wasn’t long before Speed was collaborating with everyone from Phat Kat to Proof to Stacy Epps, Danny Brown, Monica Blaire and Slum Village’s Elzhi, taking inspiration from all the Detroit greats, from J Dilla to Eminem. By the time his demo fell into the hands of G-Unit President Sha Money XL, his credentials and love of Motown soul helped him pave a path to platinum discs, working with 50 Cent, Talib Kweli, and many more.
