His unrivaled skill and myriad talents have resulted in an enduring legacy that continues to break new ground.

Nice & Smooth is an East Coast hip hop duo from New York that consists of Greg Nice (Greg Mays) and Smooth B (Daryl Barnes). 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 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." They may be hip hop legends, but Nice & Smooth will always be the people's favorites based on the entertainment value and the integrity of the group.

Suzi (formerly known as Z) is an American-Dominican independent recording artist and singer-songwriter – carving a bold path through the realms of pop, hip hop, and R&B. Her sound is a fusion of sharp lyricism, emotive melodies, and genre-bending vibes, all delivered with a voice that commands attention and a presence that refuses to be boxed in.

She burst onto the scene in 2015 with her debut single “Nobody’s Better,” a collaboration with New Jersey rap icon Fetty Wap. The track quickly gained viral traction—particularly across Asia—and has since amassed over 300 million streams worldwide. It earned critical praise from Billboard, which ranked the song at #4 on their list of “7 Fetty Wap Collaborations You Might Not Know,” cementing Suzi as a rising force with undeniable star power.

Today, Suzi continues to evolve as an artist, unafraid to experiment with sound, aesthetics, and storytelling. Her music draws from her bicultural roots, personal experiences, and a deep passion for artistic expression. She is currently crafting new music that reflects her growth, vision, and the unshakable belief that music should not only be heard—it should be felt.
