Night Magazine (UK)
"Something decidedly summery here to brighten the winter evenings, 'Hip Hop Love Jazz' is something of a masterpiece. Superbly crafted jazz-influenced hip hop from a selection of rappers & producers makes this a cool, funky & essential CD. Killer tracks come from Wordsworth, The Underdog Sound, Kim Hill & Gray Matter, but to be fair, every track works perfectly on this release. If you loved Guru's 'Jazzmatazz' projects, then you will adore this - volume 2 soon, please! 4/4”

"Taking cuts from the jazzier end of the hip hop scale, it's perfectly suited to those who gravitate toward more melodic beats. To Nicci Cheek's credit, the track selection is both refreshingly different and of a respectable quality: The lady certainly has taste. Choosing to represent artists from both the underground and a new breed of talent, it's a set list likely to inform and broaden any record collection... a great collection of tracks"


“ ...right from the off the beats bounce, skip and grind along with enough awkwardness to avoid any ‘dinner party music’ tags, whilst the occasional sax/Rhodes/guitar lick reminds you of the latter part of the album title. With enough exclusives to keep even those who view a trip to Japan to pick up a Jazzy Sport 12” justified happy, Nicci Cheeks could well have earned herself a place in any discerning music fans collection.”
