Smoove Diamonds

Smoove Diamonds is a lesser-known act blending elements of funk, R&B, and smooth jazz with hip-hop influences. While they didn’t achieve mainstream success, their sound was characterized by slick grooves, silky vocals, and laid-back vibes, reminiscent of the early 90s neo-soul and acid jazz movements. Their music often evoked comparisons to artists like Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies, with a strong emphasis on rhythm and melody.

Despite their underground status, Smoove Diamonds cultivated a small but devoted fanbase who appreciated their stylish, polished sound. They were part of a wave of artists who blurred the lines between jazz, soul, and hip-hop, contributing to the broader landscape of groove-oriented music. Though they may not be widely remembered today, their contributions to the genre remain noteworthy.
