Anyone recommend some nice jazz infused hip hop?

I'm listening to G-Clef Da Mad Komposa, wicked stuff.

Madlib - Shades of Blue is great...not really hiphop except in the production process. Madlib got access to the Blue Note multitrack vaults & ripped all the original recordings up on samplers. Then he made hiphop tracks out of them. Pretty much everything Madlib has done is based on jazz, freely sampling every instrument into his beats.

Check out anything from Stonesthrow records...
J Dilla
Quasimoto
Yesterday's New Quintet
etc.etc.etc...


also check Sol.illaquists of Sound

El-P's albums Collecting the Kid & High Water(Mark) are produced by similar methods as Shades of Blue, but there is a bit more hiphop feel to it, mixed equally with instrumental jazz.

CeeLo is always a good one as well.

And the old school peoples listed above are all great :twisted:
