Jazzy Hip-Hop

Jazzy HipHop aka Jaz Rap is said to have originated in the 1980s when the Jazz band Cargo released a single entitled "Jazz Rap, Volume One " which sounded a lot more like Jazz but with a hip hop twist. But it would be the collective known as “Native Tongues” that would push this sound to the masses with its hit groups Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest & De La Soul.The sound is exactly what the name suggests; it's a blend of Jazz & Hip hop usually featuring such instruments as trumpet, double bass, saxophone as well as many others cemented in the Jazz sound.

If you are feeling jazzy or perhaps a little soulful then Jazzy HipHop is for you!
