Ah, so recently I have had a few of my mates asking me about Hip Hop infused with jazz. You know, that hip hop that you show people who say they ‘hate rap’ and after hearing it they are like ‘hm I guess rap is ok then!

So I decided to put up a few of my favourite hippity hop tracks which have that jazzy feel about them, that real soulful feel. Download these, you won’t regret it.

If you liked the Kanye West song I posted in an earlier post (‘We Can Make It Better’) then you will LOVE these:

Pete Rock & CL Smooth – T.R.O.Y (They Reminisce Over You)

Little Brother – So Fabulous (samples ‘Wild & Peaceful’ By Kool & The Gang, amazing, amazing beat. The sample was used so well)

Slum Village Feat D’ Angelo – Tell Me

Souls Of Mischief – ‘93 Till Infinity

The Pharcyde – Passin’ Me By

A Tribe Called Quest – Jazz (We Got)

The Roots – Mellow My Man (one of the best songs, ever.)

Miles Davis Feat Nas & Olu Dara – Freedom Dance Jazz

Now, I have all of Guru’s Jazzamattaz album series, unfortunately though, I don’t have them on computer, but you should definently check those albums out. They are perfect if you are looking for that jazz-hip hop fusion music.

Enjoy.
