Together, they made several albums in the late 1980s and early 1990s to little popular appeal, though their second album (Ain't a Damn Thing Changed, 1991) was a commercial success that included a minor hit in "Sometimes I Rhyme Slow". "Hip-Hop Junkies", which featured a sample from The Partridge Family's "I Think I Love You" was also a hit, and once performed live on Keenan Ivory Wayans "In Living Color".
They are known for their humorous rhymes and catchy hooks. They often appeared as guest rappers on albums by The Beatnuts, Gang Starr and Tony Touch among many others. Tupac Shakur was intending to sign Nice & Smooth to his Makavelli label prior to his death.

I gotta funky funky rhyme with a funky style
I gotta funky funky rhyme with a funky funky style
I gotta funky rhyme... wit a funky funky style
I gotta funky rhyme... wit a funky funky style
Pete's rickety rocket was my favorite cartoon
After marriage the honeymoon
Who loves Popeye, Alice the goon
Ladies let your body flow
Send a chill up your spine like an eskimo
Here's a backstage pass to a funky show
Come give me a kiss under the missle toe
Greg Nice, my lifes like a fairy tale
Orca, was a great big whale
I knew a fat girl who broke the scale
You won't tell, I won't tell
Clientele I must excel
Took a little test, I passed then failed
Breaks... HUH, no need to hit'em
Skins, ya got 'em - I wanna get wit 'em!
Nice & Smooth is funky
Also hip-hop junkies
All we wanna do...
Is Unh Unh and you...
Nice & Smooth is funky
Also hip-hop junkies
All we wanna do...

(Smooth B)
Yo, I gotta funky funky rhyme wit a funky funky style
Funky rhyme wit a funky funky style
Funky funky rhyme wit a funky funky style
I gotta funky rhyme wit a funky funky style
Got outta my about eight
And then I called Greg Nice cause it wasn't too late
To get some skins and come around the block
Cause man, my tip is harder than a rock
He said bet, so I let
Greg Nice call this girl named Annazette
Annazette, the teacher's pet
You sure shes gonna come on this set
He said Smooth B don't you fret
My twive is on his way yo, quite as kept
The tall slim, fly kid with dope steps
Yep, coming with a box of hats
Yo Greg Nice is that girl all that
He said Smooth B the skins is fat
I don't beg cause cause I'm not at begonia
I dress warm so that I won't catch pneumonia
My rhymes are stronger than ammonia
I'm a diamond, you're a cubic zirconia (repeats & fades away)
Nice & Smooth is funky
Also hip-hop junkies
All we wanna do...

"I don't beg cause I'm not a begonia
I dress warm so that I won't catch pneumonia
My rhymes are stronger than ammonia
I'm a diamond, you're a cubic zirconia." That was my favorite verse back in the day. Straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥
