Hey Hey Hey: Paul Nice is all Bizness. Posted by independent j

DWYCK (Paul Nice Remix) - Gang Starr f/ Nice & Smooth The Bizness (Paul Nice Remix) - De La Soul f/ Common from the mix cd Lost Product, Vol. 1 (2007). Paul Nice has been around for a long time digging deep into crates, putting together amazing mixes, and producing tracks that capture the sound of the first golden era of hip hop whether he made it in 1989 or 2006. He was just out here in San Francisco last week and that's reason enough to highlight a couple of tracks off of one of his more recent mixes (this cat is magnificently prolific). Lost Product is a mix of original Nice remixes of various tracks (mostly hip hop but some soul). First up is a remix of the Gang Starr and Nice & Smooth team up "DWYCK." There must dozens (hundreds?) of DWYCK so another one has to be dynamite to get noticed, and Paul Nice provides. Also it is fun, working the bassline and a vocal snippet from the theme song for Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids. Paul Nice really has a great feel for basslines which is also clear on his remix of "The Bizness" from De La Soul w/ Common. Very jazzy and less bouncey than many of Paul Nice's tracks, but still a great fit for the well-known lyrics. Note, this mix is called Lost Product, Vol. 1, which I really hope means that Paul's got stacks of these redo's cluttering his hard-drive and we'll be graced with them soon.
