'The Collections of Mr. Nice Guy' showcased a wide range of Grieves lyrical expression, as well as his production talents. On 'Perspective', Grieves waxes about the hypocritical standards musicians often face, while 'Let The Devil In' addresses the demons he grapples with personally, rapping: 'That shadow on my shoulder weighs a ton, y'all pretend like my experience with hell was just for fun (nah).' On the lighter side, Grieves invites Chris Webby to trade bars back & forth on 'Man Down', where the pair go on to skewer less-than-stellar MCs holding space in the industry. Meanwhile, 'I'll Be Better' delivers a melan- choly reflection on the tropes of heartbreak, letting go of the old and making room for the new. At once, 'The Collections of Mr. Nice Guy' stands at the intersection of all things fans that have historically drawn fans to Grieves-truthful and relatable lyricism over soulful synths and drums.
