What No One tells you about being The Nicest
Coming up in the city of sauce and syrup as a rapper isn’t easy, but “Lil Pat The Nicest” is up for the task. Houston is emerging as a NEW Mecca for Hip-hop in this ever-growing and evolving culture, and artists like “Lil Pat The Nicest” are solidifying their beloved city in the rap pages of history.
One might wonder how to be The Nicest, and the answer is not an easy one to find. We are talking intricate flow patterns, bars mixed with good hood stories, topped with double entendres, and dripping with Houston’s own sauce. This is what encompasses being labeled as The Nicest. Fresh off of an east coast-based tour with RiffRaff & 2Stoned, “Lil Pat The Nicest” had performed his hit single “Lil Patrick” in 13 cities. Recently securing a management deal, this Dead-End native left a piece of ‘the H’ behind in Memphis, Atlanta, and Dallas in 2021. He has dropped 4 projects since 2019 when he released his initial project PreGame. His sophomore project entitled 1st Quarter displayed his hit-making ability with the single ‘Can’t Live without it.’ In 2021 “Lil Pat The Nicest” dropped 2 projects- one a collaboration with artist YR the Hardest, and earlier in the year the 1st Quarter Deluxe. The 1st Quarter Deluxe houses 2 hit singles; Lil Patrick & Night Stand.
Supastars Online Magazine is proud to present rising new rap recording artist, businessman and budding fashion designer Don Modus!
Don Modus: What’s up everyone, thanks for having me! Things have been solid, getting ready for the new year and beyond.
Supastars Online: You have your hands in many business ventures, could you tell our readers a little about all the other things you are into besides music?
Don Modus: Yea sure. I’ve got a clothing brand I’ve been working on the last few years. We’ve released 6 different collections in the past and we’re getting ready for a big drop at the end of year. I’ve got two French bulldogs and I’m getting into breeding. The majority of my business is buying and selling consumer goods for profit.
Supastars Online: Where do you see yourself in the next five years as a businessman?
Don Modus: I definitely want to have purchased my first piece of property in the next 5 years. Either by myself or with a group, renting out real estate is always a great source of passive income. I’ve got a lot of crypto investments that I expect to pay out big in the next 5 years. The music will be bigger, the clothing will advance alongside that. It’ll be interesting to see how many french bulldogs I’ll have in the next 5 years since I want to keep growing the breeding business as well.
Supastars Online: Who are 4 people that influence you the most when it comes to business and why?
Don Modus: Jay z, Kanye west, Ronnie fieg and Steven dux. All of these people started with very little and grew their brands into massively profitable businesses. I want my clothing brand to be as big as there’s and I need to demonstrate good business practices to get there.
Supastars Online: Let’s get on to the music, how long have you been making music?
Don Modus: I’ve been making music for about 5 years now, my first song was released on streaming platforms in may of 2018.
Supastars Online: What sets you apart from all the other artists out right now?
Don Modus: Lyrically I’m on another level and my music is authentic to who I am. A lot of rappers these days will say anything to get clout, I’m all about doing what I rap. I’m actually out here in the streets hustling to get my bread up. I put a lot of double meanings in my lyrics too so there’s extra value when people look up the words.
Supastars Online: You currently have a single out now titled “Peter Pan”, how would you describe that single?
Don Modus: It’s got a new school rap vibe with a fire beat. Peter Pan is a nickname given to me by some of my boys cause I’m always chasing green (money).
Supastars Online: As an artist, what else are you currently working on?
Don Modus: I’m currently taking a break from releasing music to build up my other businesses and focus on the upcoming clothing . I’m still looking for beats and writing but releasing music is expensive and I want to build up my capital for a bit.
Supastars Online: What plans do you have for your music for 2022?
Don Modus: I want to collaborate with more artists and do more shows.
Supastars Online: What else would you like the readers to know about Don Modus that we haven’t covered already?
Don Modus: I’ve got a hand in a lot of different things and it takes time to build something beautiful. 2022 is going to be a great year for the brand and I’m looking to become a household name soon. Follow me on Instagram @donmodus thanks for having me!

Get Familiar with author Seni Marques
Multi-talented is the best way to describe this talented young artist, born on the mean streets of Camden, New Jersey, and raised on the cold streets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Musician, writer, author, hustler, chef, server, felon, father, he has played many roles in his young life so far, with many more roles still to play.
Between living with mother, father, aunts and grandparents (shout out to my grandmother ______, the angel of my life), young Rocca (D Juan, AKA Seni Marques) attended four different middle schools and five different high schools. Torn between broken homes in broken cities, he stretched into manhood early, perhaps too early. Two days before graduating third in his high school class, drama ensued, interrupting his moment of achievement, a common theme in his life.
After formally obtaining his GED, he attended a JOB Corp culinary arts school in Baltimore, Maryland. He finished at the top of his class and was offered an opportunity for advanced training in San Francisco, California. There he excelled and was voted Executive Chef of his class. Of course, drama once again ensued at another peak of glory.
After experiencing a whiff of the California life, he found himself back home in Camden, one of the poorest, little, tired cities in America, where nothing had changed and not much grew. In fact, it had gotten worse. Rocca, now a young man, knew if he stuck around, he would get sucked in. But music had always been an outlet for him growing up, a therapeutic way to express himself, where he found his escape from the harshness of his young life. Over the years, he honed his craft and became a local music celebrity, but with that notoriety came money, drugs and women – a deadly combination if not handled with care.
The end result, once again just at a breakthrough moment, drama ensued, betrayal, anger,
violence erupted, and the up-and-coming artist crashed back to earth, his career put on hold by a two-year prison bid for drug trafficking.
While spending two weeks in the hole (solitary confinement) for getting kicked of a behavior modification program, in which he was excelling, ironically, there emerged an author, Seni Marques. He used the remaining 18 months to write by hand the novels, Monkeys Can’t Sell Bananas and Good Cookies, sending the written manuscripts home to his grandmother for safekeeping.
After being released from prison, he found himself right back home and once again, nothing had changed. Refusing to be sucked in once more, he decided to move to Florida. There, he self-published Monkeys Can’t Sell Bananas. Of course, he didn’t know how to market the book and was discouraged by poor sales of his new work of art. He moved to North Carolina, in pursuit of his stalled music career, and found success waiting for him. He competed in and won a radio-sponsored rap contest, and was voted the best independent artist of the year in Fayetteville. True to form, drama once again ensued. Betrayal, theft, anger, retaliation and poor decisions forced Rocca to leave North Carolina in a hurry, his new fame left behind.
He headed back south to Florida, where he relied on his culinary arts skills, landing him job after job, slaving in hot, crowded kitchens, his dreams slowly evaporating like the steam over the stoves. He started as a pantry cook and worked his way up to kitchen manager in a few years, but the urge to pursue his writing career never waned. In fact, as he advanced in the workplace, his appetite and ambition for success grew more and more. He went on to self-publish Good Cookies and continues to learn the hard lessons of growing up a black man in America.
Now in Atlanta, Rocca continues to pursue his artistry as a musician, as a writer, and businessman.
