DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah Present "This Way" Album Sampler

DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah Present "This Way" Album Sampler

So what happens when you put one of Hip Hop's most beloved, respected and prolific producer/djs in the studio with Toronto's best kept secret? Magic. The natural chemistry between Toronto songbird, Ayah, and DJ Jazzy Jeff is reminiscent of past powerful singer/producer duos such as Aaliyah/Timbaland, Brandy/Rodney Jerkins and Mary J. Blige/Puff Daddy.

"This Way" allows us to not only hear Jeff's extraordinary ability to produce timeless records, but Ayah's superb songwriting capabilities as well.

With that being said, please add the "This Way" Sampler to your blogs, iPod or Zune and prepare to be impressed and blown away by what is guaranteed to be another powerful duo. We're sure you'll be 'Back For More'.

Ayah on working with DJ Jazzy Jeff:

"Working with Jeff, the magnificent, feels like home. One of the most humbling experiences in my life. Being in the presence of and learning from a master...while still being welcomed to do me and find my own way...too many words to express.....family."
