Nicci Cheeks presents Hip Hop Love Jazz

A 15 track hardcore rap/hip-hop album (53m 37s) — released December 12th 2005 on Kwerk

HipHop DJ/manager/fixer Nicci Cheeks presents the follow up to her acclaimed 'HipHop Love Soul' compilation on Fat City last year (which gave us SaRa, Platinum Pied Pipers and Little Brother before they were known) with an even stronger set of underground future classics from the USA. Teaming up with Geoff Wilkinson's (Us3) kwerk label, Nicci presents a compilation of 15 gorgeous jazzy hiphop cuts that will take you back to the early 90s when jazz & hiphop first climbed into bed together? The underground scene is represented in force by the might of J Rawls, Wordsworth & El Da Sensei, while the new skool is firmly to the fore in the shape of Jazzy Jeff collaborator Kev Brown & the first solo joints from Hanif Jamiyl and Roddy Rod of Maspyke (whose new album on AABB is set to blaze). Original Black-Eyed Peas vocalist Kim Hill and NY's The Underdog provide some beautifully bare jazzy soul too. The West Coast is represented with exclusives from LA crew The Procussions, Dent, and Gray Matter. Legendary NY hiphop engineer Dave Dar (who has recorded & mixed the likes of De La Soul, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, etc) steps out from behind the boards for a world exclusive & with skits from NY DJ Bobbito, Cut Chemist, and Nicci herself, the album is complete.'
