Nice & Smooth was an East Coast hip hop duo from New York that consists of Greg Nice (Greg Mays) and Smooth B (Daryl Barnes). The duo released four albums from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s. Their first appearance was on the song, Pimpin Ain’t Easy by Big Daddy Kane on his album, It’s a Big Daddy Thing in 1989. Nice & Smooth’s biggest radio fame came from Sometimes I Rhyme Slow…, from the group’s second album, Ain’t a Damn Thing Changed, released in 1991. The duo is known for its humorous rhymes and catchy hooks. They often appeared as guest emcees on albums by the Beatnuts, Gang Starr where they scored a huge hit with the song Dwyck. They were also frequent collaborators with the great Tony Touch among many others. Old to the New was an ode to Hip Hops beginnings that struck a chord with their peers. Tupac Shakur intended to sign Nice & Smooth to his Makaveli label and even recorded tracks with the duo for the One Nation album. Trugoy from De La Soul paid homage to Nice & Smooth by using each member’s rhyming style in verses on the song Simply Havin’ from De La Soul’s AOI Bionix album. In 2005, he released a single titled Game Over which was produced by DJ Premier. Greg Nice has enjoyed hits with Set it off and the just released (Oct 2010) album The Popcycle.
