One can wonder, what if he was better treated after his one & only release, would he still end up on the America's Most Wanted List? (Twice!) TIMESTAMPS:… [Listen](https://op3.dev/e/media.transistor.fm/602089e6/b47530c3.mp3) ## [Ep.375 - Nice & Smooth](https://diggin-in-the-digits-5epn.transistor.fm/375) _2026-08-08 · The 5th Element Podcast Network · Diggin' In The Digits_ There's certain names in music that bridge the gap between one era and the next. Greg Nice & Smooth Bee were one of those. Taking fun-natured Hip-Hop of the old and mixing it with new production practices: heavy on sampling and occasionally fusing R&B into their work.

This edition, we go full British, getting into a Trip-Hop essential and a Downbeat classic.

One of the least talked about legends in Hip-Hop history where Scarface acolytes can make a case for him being the GOAT. So, does the discography warrant such praise?

But a whole lot of music happened in the nearly 20 year run and a whole lot of movement between them and a supporting cast happened as well.

Nearly 40 years later, they're still creating accessible Hip-Hop with positive and incisive commentary.
