Album
Nia is the debut studio album by American hip hop duo Blackalicious. It was released in Europe by Mo' Wax on August 30, 1999, and later re-released in the United States by Quannum Projects on February 29, 2000, with a slightly altered track listing.

The album wrenches its strength from both its subject matter-check the surrealism of Ego Trip by Nikki Giovanni-and execution, a testament to the power of independent thought. This album would set an extraordinarily high bar that they would later match on the Quannum family album and Blazing Arrow. Nia Blackalicious. Released 1999. Nia Tracklist. Searching Ft. Listen free to Blackalicious Nia Searching, The Fabulous Ones and more. 19 tracks 73:41. After recording a string of singles and EPs stretching back to 1994, the Blackalicious duo finally released their full-length debut, Nia, in early 2000. It's an album that stakes the claim of Chief Xcel and Gift of Gab as not only the best pair of rappers in the underground, but also the best pair of producers. As could be expected from an urban-underground crew, Blackalicious look back to earthy jazz-funk, rare-groove, and sampladelic old-school rap for their sound. Nia is Blackalicious' debut album and it is a hell of a good one. Chief Xcel and Gift of Gab blend together rap, funk, jazz, soul, and pop all together to create some tight beats and some phat rhythms. Out of all the hip-hop duos out there these cats truly represent. The tracks range from mellow, soothing ballads to quick paced rap freestyles. For the most part everything is upbeat, fun and easy going but sometimes Blackalicious gets tricky and throws in a soft and calm soul influenced track, ya know just to mix things up. The thing that makes Nia so great is how much range it shows
