P-Nyce
Raised in Dinwiddie, Virginia P-Nyce began playing the drums at the age of 12. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University for 3 years where he pursued a degree in music. After leaving school to join the Army he was deployed with the 2nd Infantry Division to Ar Ramadi, Iraq, located in the dreaded Sunni Triangle. During his time in Iraq P-Nyce sought refuge in his music. He and several of his comrades built a 15-by-15-foot studio out of scrap wood and old mattresses and began putting on shows. The shows had over 500 soldiers in attendance, and help boost morale. He even shot a full length video for “Back Up” during his stint in Iraq (video enclosed). This led to their appearance in the Mideast edition of “Stars and Stripes,” a world-wide military newspaper (article enclosed). P-Nyce’s time in Iraq has been a catalyst for his music endeavors.
This past summer P-Nyce made history by becoming THE FIRST EVER HIP HOP ARTIST FEATURED ON THE US ARMY SOLDIER SHOW!!! The show tour over 40 States 5 countries on the 3 different continents! He has also been recently selected to tour with artist like Plies & T.Pain on the Hypnotized Tour with long time music commandant L.U.V. aka Flu Season!

Lil Wayne Acknowledges Emmett Till Family But Doesnt Apologize (Statement)
from ebengregory.com
So the Emmett Til Family is putting pressure on Lil Wayne by Targeting his endorsment Mountain Dew in particular, after seeing the success a womans group had with getting Reebok to drop Rick Ross.... WHEW!!! Rappers those lyrics could cost your MEGABUCKS!!! Here's what Weezy had to say to the Till Family estate.
" Dear Till Family: As a recording artist, I have always been interested in word play. My lyrics often reference people, places and events in my music, as well as the music that I create for or alongside other artists.
It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist’s song has deeply offended your family. As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys.
Moving forward, I will not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in my music, especially in an inappropriate manner. I fully support Epic Record’s decision to take down the unauthorized version of the song and to not include the reference in the version that went to retail. I will not be performing the lyrics that contain that reference live and have removed them from my catalogue.
I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy. As a business owner who employs several African-American employees and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community.
Best,
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.
Lil Wayne
