As you may have read at Zilla Rocca’s Clap Cowards, Nico the Beast, one half of Clean Guns, friend of this blog, and the man behind last year’s excellent, No Beast So Fierce, was in a serious car accident last weekend. Initially listed as critical, the bulletproof Beast has improved, and with time, is expected to fully recover. Tragically, one of the friends traveling with him wasn’t as lucky. Thoughts, sympathy, prayers, etc. go out to his family.

If you’d like to send Nico any words of encouragement, his Myspace is here–they will be warmly welcomed. In the meantime, I recommend that you scoop up the songs below, along with his most recent mixtape, Dinner Is Served Vol. 1–a mature, thoughtful and virtuosic effort, that entrenches the South Illadelphian as one of the underground’s best young talents. Stop sleeping, or when he recovers, Nico will beat you to death with your own shoes.
