If you follow my posts, you know that I like music that transcends any one genre. My favorite kind of music is the type of jams which combine elements of hip hop, electro, and chill sounds without even sounding like it (re: seamless production).

The selection below is just a cross section of Five Deez's dense and varied discography. [...]

Jun Seba - aka Nujabes (his name in reverse) - is a Japanese hip hop producer and DJ who died earlier this year in Shibuya at the age of 36. He had a real cool sound and thanks to Nick Firestone, he's getting some much deserved BGB love today. Five Deez is an American Hip Hop group that formed at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1993. They channel a lot of musical styles, including blues and jazz, and kick it old school like back in the day. This track is the [...]

Not really sure how I got introduced to fat jon the ample soul musician a number of years ago, but I've found myself revisiting him lately. He threads together hip hop, electronica, and funkier nu soul really well. Pase Rock, Fat Jon, Sonic, and Kyle David were in the Cincinnati hip hop group five deez. [...]

But I’m not complaining. As someone with lukewarm interest in electronic music, I’ll take any way to make it easier to digest. It’s like hiding a pill in ice cream for a child. In this case, I’ve been enthralled by Five Deez and their release Kommunicator [...]
