Title: Guru's Jazzmatazz Streetsoul
Review: This album upset some Jazzmatazz fans because it sounds like hip-hop/R&B instead of jazz (with the exception of Herbie Hancock on the sharp "Timeless"). But that's why Guru also named it "Streetsoul" to show a more urban approach to this album. If you can appreciate that, there's a lot of good numbers here, including "Certified" with Bilal, "All I Said" with Macy Gray, "Keep Your Worries" with Angie Stone, "No More" with Craig David, and especially "Plenty" with Erykah Badu. His Gang Starr groupmate DJ Premier even shows up to produce "Hustlin Dayz" and "Where's My Ladiez?".
