Just when you had DJ Jazzy Jeff pegged solely as a hip-hop maven, Groovin’ Records jettisons The Soul Mixtape chocked full of nu soul and R&B gems that will rattle your preconceived notions of his skills. But if you’ve been watching his career, you’d realize that this is no sudden move for the Philadelphia native.
From 1987 to 1993, Jeff along with childhood friend and superstar Will Smith were the groundbreaking hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. They successfully made the transition to television with six seasons of the top-rated syndicated show The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. But in 1990, Jeff launched A Touch Of Jazz Productions (ATOJ) as a creative hub largely to foster his love of R&B and soul. After a decade of producing for outside artists, ATOJ introduced what would be its first breakthrough artist in Grammy-winning singer Jill Scott while further tilling the soil of the burgeoning neo-soul movement by introducing such artists as Musiq and Floetry. With 10 million albums sold worldwide and an enviable collection of awards, DJ Jazzy Jeff is definitely a man of many accomplishments. But his accomplishments wouldn’t be complete without feeding his love of R&B and soul via ATOJ. And that love is further translated in The Soul Mixtape.

Featuring 16 lustrous tracks hand picked by DJ Jazzy Jeff and soul music fanatics Teddy and Natalie Esposito, the disc mixes familiar faces (Dwele, Martin Luther, Pete Rock) with the freshman class of soul (Valencia Robinson, Michael Bohannon, Leela James), making for a best of both worlds listening experience. U.K. acid jazz renaissance man Omar duets with U.S. soul matriarch Angie Stone on a remake of the classic 1974 William DeVaughn hit "Be Thankful" while former Incognito vocalist Kellie Sae revamps Aretha Franklin’s 70s gem "Daydreamin’". The disc also contains two exclusive tracks from ATOJ artist V ("She Wants 2 Be", "Broken Dreams") not available anywhere else. DJ Jazzy Jeff blends these tracks with extreme care, exemplifying his passion and love for the genre. That same love also lead him to cross paths with soul aficionados Groovin’ Records, curators of the soul compilation series Neo Soul United (vol. 1-3) and Soul In The City.

The Soul Mixtape marks DJ Jazzy Jeff’s first release with an American independent label.

Jai Wil, a Chicago native with a worldwide mission, has been patiently waiting to make his mark in the music industry. In 1999, he landed his first major gig, singing background for Sean “Diddy” Combs on the “Puff Daddy and the Family” tour. He had his first dose of stardom, surrounded with Bad Boy acts like Lil' Kim, Carl Thomas, Mase, and P Diddy, himself. Spending most of his musical years perfecting his craft, Jai has also taken center stage at events like "Laughing on the Lakefront", a Comedy Extravaganza at the Arie Crown Theatre, featuring Ricky Smiley, Adele Givens, Arnez J and others and performing for Project 8 & BET's Rap It Up AIDS campaign along side artists like Chingy and Ms. Prissy (from the movie "Rize").

The streets have a time-tested way of putting the cold hard steel to a soul. The streets toughen folks to either stay and survive, or to elevate and strive. Brooklyn-born singer/songwriter Edwin "Lil Eddie" Serrano chose the latter and has been steadily ascending the music industry ladder ever since.

Going from living on the streets of Spanish Harlem to releasing his debut album Nobody's Fool at the age of 19, Lil Eddie's accomplishments are inspiration. Nobody's Fool introduces a young Puerto Rican with both a gift and the passion to be "a serious artist with the platinum touch" - to move the masses in his quest to be the first "Latin Soul Sensation." He's already had one song he co-wrote all over urban radio: Carl Thomas' "She Is" (f/ LL Cool J). He also wrote and appeared with P.Diddy on "I'm Looking At You." Now, as the first artist signed to super producer and Bad Boy recording artist Mario "Yellow Man" Winans' Yellow City imprint (via Florida-based Big3 Records), it's Eddie's time to shine.

Eddie co-wrote all of the material on Nobody's Fool. One listen to the dreamy and melodic "Gotta Go," it's clear Lil Eddie has been studying the radio well. Dig even deeper into the album and you will find songs that are "purely Eddie." Take the track "I Don't Think I Ever," a haunting declaration about discovering the true meaning of love which features Winans chiming in on a verse. Most powerful is the title track, "Nobody's Fool," from which the defiantly confident lyrics at the top of this page were pulled. Featuring a blistering rap by Yellow City Entertainment's Lo Down, "Nobody's Fool" tells you all you need to know about the determination Eddie has had to have to make it this far in his career...and in his life. "That song explains why doing this first album was totally necessary for me," Eddie states. "I have a lot to say."
