My homie put me on dude. Great album.. I was surprised he hails from Houston because his style seems straight Detroit or Chicago..

He's more of NY-based. He went to college there and became friends with Bilal. Through him, he got to work with the whole Questlove, Mos Def, Q-Tip, Dilla, Badu, Kanye (at the time) crowd.

I saw him a couple times live - with Laylah Hathaway and Erykah Badu- and he got a nice modern band. He also tours with a straight jazz quartet.

full on jazz. the nikka plays the keys and composes and shyt. then he does side projects doing hip hop interpolations and whatnot. a lot of the stuff eople hype up is like kinda hiip hop/jazz fusion. from youtube, his live shows seem to be where he goes off.
