Add Ali Dee to the list of rappers successfully exploiting rap/jazz fusion. His cut "Dee Swings Jazz" expertly demonstrates the genres' shared qualities, and his whole release has both a loose, improvisational air and an edgy, combative street vibe. The single "Who's Da Flava" attracted the most attention, but there are other, equally sharp tunes like "Styles Upon Styles" and "Got 2 B Real." Sometimes he does overdo it on the violence and distasteful language, but even then he doesn't just depend on predictable obscenities, injecting some clever retort or taking another direction. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide [-] Collapse
