Jazz from Dru Hill is following in the footsteps of Sisqo and will be the next member of the R&B band to make a solo record. We hear he has gone back to the old school for his solo sound.
"It will be straight up old school soul" Dru Hill's Nokio tells Undercover News. "If you blink you will think you are listening to an old school record from back then. He was able to take it and bring it into a modern realm. People are going to be surprised with his album".
They expect the Jazz album will be released by the end of this year.
As for Nokio, when he isn't in Dru Hill, he is a producer. "I am about to start working on my wife's album" he says. Nokio (Tamir Ruffin) is married to R&B / DJ Angie Martinez. Angie has one of New York's highest rating jocks on Hot 97 and is about to go back on air. "She has been on maternity leave since February but goes back later this month" Nokio says.
Their son Jordon was born in June. "It was crazy, the baby was born and that day they had it on the news" Nokio says.
Nokio is a big fan of his wife's radio show and tunes in "Everyday" he says. He is also prone to make the occasional request. "Sometimes, I just hit her on the two-way. She is one of the best. She is on 3-7pm. She has been the hottest rating DJ in her slot for a few years now".
She also has a bit of Dru Hill in her playlist. "Yes, and not just because of me. As an artist we try and stay away from all the lovely dovey stuff and keep people away from our business".
Dru Hill will be in Australian later this month for their first tour to the country. Dates are:
29-Aug-03 Dru Hill Sydney Hordern Pavillion
31-Aug-03 Dru Hill Melbourne Festival Hall
2-Sep-03 Dru Hill Adelaide Entertainment Centre
