have u got Gurus Jazzmatazz albums? The first 2 are quality.

And if you haven't already check for a french dude named Dela, simillar set up to Jazz Liborators, french production with American Emcees

Cullo

Will have to check out them jazz liberatorz meself....

YoungBlood BrassBand are savage, there a hiphop-jazz brass band ... absolute qaulity >>> http://www.myspace.com/youngbloodbrass
Not much on there myspace considering there out bout 10 yrs so youd really hav to get an album to get a proper feel...id go for "Center Level Roar" if you do...best live show iz ever at aswell, by a long shot...

im sure ye know the likes of Tribe or the roots aswell as guru and all the usual....eh Erykah Badu's stuff, esp "baduizm" if ye havnt checked her..pretty laid back jazzy, soul ****..

Jay Ru

y.b. brass band r savage, i've a 12 of a track with Talib Kweli and its class

Boom_Bap

the band you are looking for is Siah and Yesua dapoED

Everybody should listen to thier album, one of the most underated and greatest albums of all time.

Other than that, try The BUMS album called lyfe n tyme, brilliant record.

Oh and Da Bush Babees might be worth a shot...probably more on the ragga side of things but lots of jazz elements are used.

The Brand Nubian song is from Everything is Everything, great album, rest of the album is along the same lines as the track above, it came out in 1994, Digible Planets are also a great group, also from early to mid 90's.
And the Dream Warriors, if you want to listen to good Canadian rap then forget about Drake and get some of this, again from the early 90's but still very listenable.

Cullo

downloaded jazz liberatorz and Siah and Yesua dapoED....anyone that hasnt, should!
Gonna check some others now..

dont know how to emded on here but heres a group i been listenin to who are only new but and have a nice 90's feel of them...
