Formed in 1996, Boogie and Lee Majors A.K.A. Jason Rivera and Chris Ivery first hooked up when both had guest appearances on an album by a mutual friend. At the time both were involved in separate projects, but maintained contact through local shows. When their separate musical ventures dissolved, an opportunity arose for a joint project: and AB/NRML was born. With this new beginning, the two young creators aimed to have the music portray an honest reflection of their own lives. Maintaining a golden-era mentality, the duo have often been compared to Souls of Mischief, The Pharcyde and Mos Def and Talib Kweli's Black Star projec'

Boogie and Lee Majors have got a familiar-sounding, Double Trouble, Twin Hype, Ugly Duckling interplay about their ease of bragging ? three pieces of sturdy, jazzy hip-hop, including the ?Hands On Experience? techniques of ?AB Slash?, the skeezer-dodging, applause-seeking ?Clap?, and the urgent orchestra samples stopping the ?Nonsense?. Put them in the live arena and they?re sure to sound even better. *** - Matty O Update

Strongly influenced by the sound of groups like Pharcyde and Souls of Mischief, its refreshing to hear this kind of jazzy/non violent/non moronic hip hop still being made somewhere even if it is by someone you've never heard of. 4/5 - DJ Yoda IDJ
