Discography

Before Nice Peter started making the Epic Rap Battles of History, even before he started making YouTube videos, he had a long musical career, playing live in small bars in Chicago, with multiple tours to the UK. He recorded some studio albums with his band (that was called Nice Peter) and toured with them a couple of years^[9]. Since then, he lost the bass player and drummer, and four other drummers, but he kept on playing alone, releasing new songs only with his guitar.
