Summary
Thirty-five years ago, Nice & Smooth dropped their groundbreaking second album Ain’t A Damn Thing Changed, carving a unique space in Hip Hop’s evolution. While the scene leaned into harder New York sounds and groups like Naughty By Nature dominated, Greg Nice and Smooth B stood out with their unmatched chemistry—Greg’s hype and voice paired with Smooth B’s smooth storytelling. Tracks like “Hip Hop Junkies” became party anthems, but it was “Sometimes I Rhyme Slow,” a haunting flip of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” that stunned listeners with its raw depth. Their blend of humor, harmonies, and energy, plus legendary live shows full of coordinated stage magic, made them unforgettable—and even earned them features with Gang Starr. This album wasn’t just music; it was a masterclass in versatility and soul. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
