Nee-hi began his artistic journey at the early age of 11, taking things much more seriously into his mid teens and focusing fully on forming a career from then. From the age of 12 he was active in grime sets and ciphers where he would learn his trade. After constant practice and writing, at 14 years of age, Nee-hi became part of a crew known as ‘Ear to the Street’. The crew worked independently to record and put out a mix tape and a DVD which featured ‘Roll Deep’. They worked extremely hard together to get recognised and to gain the interest of people in the Ipswich area. They soon proved they were the best, when E2DS won a ‘DJ cup clash’ competition which involved a number of Ipswich’s local talents.
As his music began to progress, Nee-hi brought out an independent mix tape called ‘The Story Book’ which centred around creatively conveying stories through lyrics. This idea derived from the Slick Rick album, ‘The Art of Storytelling’. Nee-hi has always been a fan of the Hip-Hop renaissance of the late 1980's and has been largely influenced by groups such as: The Natives Tongues Posse, Rakim and Krs-One.
His most recent E.P is ‘The Delorean’ has had an extremely positive response. Drawing inspiration from 80's cult classic movie “Back to the Future”, it focused on the idea of ‘time travelling through music’ so every song corresponds to a different point in time and draws its style from the Zeitgeist of that era. This is typical of the experimentation and imagination Nee-hi attempts to bring to his music.
At present Nee-Hi has been working almost constantly with Danny C from Aim Records and has completed the recording of his new L.P 'Houston we have an L.P' which is due out in November for FREE download and CD.
Nee-Hi started working with Danny C in mid July of 2010 and a couple of months after that had a new L.P completed featuring collaborations with local Ipswich artists but also P-Money and Sketchman who he is in talks with, about shooting videos for the separate tracks they feature on. Nee-Hi has already got a few starting tracks of another project. He has also shot two videos with Jacuzzi Films who are responsible for shooting videos for artists such as Devlin, Fugative, JMC and more.
Despite being a music artist, Nee-hi has shown he also has talent with writing in other areas. He has written a number of poems and performed these to audiences across the country, in places such as Ipswich, Norwich, Diss, Bedford and Manchester. His experience in poetry has enabled him to better understand the complexity of being a lyricist and helped shape the intricate wordplay apparent in his latest work.

Heal my soul now
His bitch blow up my phone cause she seeing that I'm on now
She just looking for a nigga that's gone make her moan now
I been off these drugs so god damn long to heal my soul now
Why this bitch she say she love me but leave me alone now
Drank, drugs
I been running away from her loveDrank, drugs
I been running
Why this bitch keep blowing up my phone like i ain't gone now
Going thru this pain the only option is a song now
Ima pour the drank until i feel it in my bones now
I been off these drugs so goddamn long i feel alone now
Thumbing thru these hunnids got my fingers hella swole now
I get to the bands straight to the bank i ain't at home now
Did it wit my niggas time to do it on my own now
His bitch blow up my phone cause she seeing that I'm on now
She just looking for a nigga that's gone make her moan now
I been off these drugs so god damn long to heal my soul now
Why this bitch she say she love me but leave me alone now
Drank, drugs
I been running away from her love
Drank, drugs

Cause I'm on now
The lyrics of Nee-Hi's song "Alone" seem to convey a sense of self-awareness, resilience, and faith in the face of uncertainty and personal struggles. The repeated refrain of "We won't last, Can't get too close, Don't know where I'll be" suggests a recognition of impermanence and the need to maintain a certain level of detachment from external circumstances. This could also imply a fear of committing too deeply or becoming too dependent on something or someone that may not be reliable in the long run.
The mention of "Invested I'll be, Dreaming fast, Vibing on realm" indicates a willingness to engage with life and its challenges energetically and positively, despite the inherent risks and uncertainties involved. The line "Live and laugh, Life gon show you, Things they can't teach" reflects a belief in the lessons that life itself can teach us, often through experiences that cannot be learned from books or traditional means.
The theme of personal growth and resilience shines through the lines "My ways been long, A bumpy road, But I know that there's something for me, Admit my wrongs, But still move on." This suggests a willingness to acknowledge past mistakes and hardships, yet remain optimistic and forward-looking. The mention of "floating on the river" and "going with the flow from now on" could symbolize a newfound acceptance of life's twists and turns, embracing change and adapting to whatever comes their way.
Overall, the lyrics of "Alone" by Nee-Hi seem to speak to the importance of self-reliance, inner strength, and faith in the face of challenges and uncertainties. The singer appears to be navigating through life's ups and downs with a sense of determination and resilience, finding solace in the belief that there is a path meant for them despite the struggles and setbacks along the way.

We won't last
I recognize that this relationship may not endure
Can't get too close
I need to maintain some emotional distance
Don't know where I'll be
Uncertainty about the future plagues my mind
What's the past
Reflecting on previous experiences
The present time
Focusing on the here and now
Invested I'll be
I am fully committed
Dreaming fast
Moving swiftly towards my goals
Vibing on realm
Connected to a spiritual dimension
They can't breach
External forces cannot disrupt my inner peace
Live and laugh
Enjoying life's moments
Life gon show you
Life will present valuable lessons
Things they can't teach
Some things can only be learned through experience
Don't wait too long
Don't delay taking action
Know time it don't exist
Understanding that time is a construct
Can't get stuck in that dream
Not allowing unrealistic fantasies to hold me back
My faith too strong
My belief in a higher power sustains me
I vibe alone
Finding peace in solitude
I know he's got someone for me
I trust that the universe has a plan for my love life
My ways been long
My journey has been arduous
A bumpy road
Filled with challenges and obstacles
But I know that there's something for me
Confident that there is a purpose for my struggles
Admit my wrongs
Acknowledging my mistakes
But still move on
Continuing to progress despite setbacks
I can't let it harp over me
Not allowing guilt to consume me
Floating on the river, river, river
Drifting along the currents of life
Tryna find my way, back home
Seeking a sense of belonging and comfort
Going with the flow from now on
Embracing a more relaxed approach to life

This song made me feel so loved. Been together with my husband for 12 years this year. 6 years of dating and this year is our 6 years of wedding anniversary. I wish nothing except growing old with him and raised our children together. May our love doesnt change till our last breath.
