BIO
When two unconventional music minds, came together in 2000 as a musical duo, it resulted in Atlanta-based hip-hop soulsters "Slick & Rose." Named Breakout Act of 2005 by Billboard Magazine and Best Atlanta R&B/Soul Act of 2005 by Creative Loafing Magazine, Nikki "Slick" Ervin counts her Mobile, Alabama upbringing as having the most influence in her musical background while Sabrina "Rose" Harvey, born and raised in the concrete jungle of New York City, credits her love of hip-hop and her Jamaican heritage with influencing much of her early years.
Slick & Roses combined musical style, is fluid, and not true to just one music genre. We describe our music as a tree, says Nikki Slick The roots are hip-hop and the branches are R&B, Reggae, Jazz, Soul and Rock Their palate of musical inspirations seems to reflect their musical prowess the ladies admire legends like Nina Simone, Sarah Vaughn and Ella Fitzgerald as well as modern day divas Lauren Hill, Esthero and Gwen Stefani.
Slick & Rose joined the Okayplayer Tour in Japan with Rahzel and the Jazzyfatnastees of The Roots crew and released their critically acclaimed debut album, Objects in the Mirror, (P-Vine Records) in 2003, performed at the world renowned Black Lilly showcase twice and has since performed with and/or opened for some of the most talented and respected musicians in the music industry today, including but not limited to: Common, Kindred, The Family Soul, Phife of A Tribe Called Quest, Angie Stone, Vivian Green, Scratch, Donnie, Joi, Slum Village, Nappy Roots, Van Hunt, Chingy, John Legend and Kanye West.
Slick & Roses latest creative endeavor, Winter Spells, Vol. 1 is an ode to the early era of Hip-Hop. This fresh collection of Slick & Rose unreleased, remixed, jacked and original material host a bevy of guest appearances by some of Hip-Hops finest pioneers and new schoolers: Baatin (formerly of Slum Village), Fish Scales and Skinny Deville (Nappy Roots), Phife Dawg (A Tribe Called Quest), Chip-Fu and Hawkeye as well as some of Atlantas own R&B/Soul rising stars: Anthony David, Julie Dexter, Kerisha Roi, Maya Neiada, Madame CJ, Sun Nova, Eugene IV and Ebonee Devynee.
Winter Spells, Vol. 1 is designed to reminisce on the days of yore, with in the pocket beats that made Hip-Hop so popular in the late 80s and early 90s. With Hip-Hop as the springboard, these ladies create tales of cross genre motifs using the Soul/R&B/Jazz vocal dexterity that has become synonymous with the Slick & Rose sound. Winter Spells, Vol. 1 is sponsored by Sol-Fusion, Marcos After Dark, ReddTone, AOL Radio, Spitkicker, My Space, LRG, CRÈME Magazine, Digital Guestlist, Plugd Media Group, Suite 903, 7th Starr Publicity and Smokkin Needles/Riddim Kidz Management.
