Nice & Smooth is 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.While never gaining large pop appeal, each of the duo’s albums were certified for gold-level sales by the RIAA, with its biggest radio fame coming from "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow...," from its second album, Ain't a Damn Thing Changed, released in 1992. The song was a moderately somber rhyme with introspective lines about poverty, AIDS, and drugs that was set to the guitar loop from Tracy Chapman's hit "Fast Car." In the summer of 1992, the video received heavy rotation on MTV. "Hip-Hop Junkies," which featured a sample from The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You" was also a hit, and it was once performed live on Keenan Ivory Wayans’ "In Living Color". The duo is known for its humorous rhymes and catchy hooks. They often appeared as guest emcees on albums by the Beatnuts, Gang Starr, and Tony Touch among many others.The duo’s most-noted contribution to hip-hop is its second single, "Funky For You," released in 1990 with the following lyrics:A--yo, Dizzy Gillespie played the sax!/Me myself, I like to max!/Red-Bone booties, I'm out to wax!/Stick-up kids is out to tax!Tupac Shakur intended to sign Nice & Smooth to his Makaveli label prior to his death and even recorded tracks with them for the One Nation album.

Nice & Smooth is their debut album. The album is notable for its sense of humor and comedy rhymes. Although the album contains explicit lyrics on it, it is also at its best with Greg Nice's crazy rhyming with humor and Smooth B's slow lover rhymes. The release singles of the album are "Early to Rise" and "Funky for You." This was the duo’s only release on Fresh/Sleeping Bag Records before it signed with Def Jam Recordings sub-label RAL Records. It was included in Source Magazine's 100 Best Rap Albums. It was one of three titles acquired by Priority Records when Sleeping Bag went out of business in 1992.
