On this date 33 years ago, BX Hip Hop duo Nice and Smooth released their sophomore album Ain’t A Damn Thing Changed<\/em> on the Rush Associated Labels imprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back in 1991, when Naughty By Nature was putting us on to the meaning of O.P.P., Nice & Smooth were seasoned MCs gearing up for their second effort. This succeeded their self-titled debut album, which came like a breath of fresh air to the “no smiles” rap climate among NY emcees in the early 90s. Songs that dropped real-life melodic messages like the Tracy Chapman inspired “Sometimes I Rhyme Slow” and the party-driven “Hip Hop Junkies” made for a solid project that was played on the radio and respected in the streets. Their harmonizing was a return to the era where performers put on a show, and if you ever see Nice and Smooth live, you know that’s exactly what you get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to Greg Nice and Smooth Bee for blessing the fans with this classic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
