One of those acts more known for their appearances on other rappers' records rather than their own. Greg Nice rapped as the loud, hype guy while Smooth B always backed him up with a life story that somehow related to the song title. The duo's debut has an expansive "We're The Rappers, He's The DJ" vibe that doesn't always work to their benefit. When they cut to the chase and match clear party raps with outrageous retro samples ("Early to Rise" and "Funky for You"), it's a winner.
