Artist Info: Niq

Name: Will Swanson "NiQ"
Age: 23

Hometown: Columbus, Ohio

Will Swanson is not a drug dealer turned rapper. He didn't make street violence his mantra, or claim it as the one thing he knew growing up in the hood. He hasn't been shot and he doesn't have a history of blatantly disrespecting women. So if you were looking for your "classic" crack-to-riches rap story, you haven't found it.
