Nickel and Dime Ops

When a conscious rapper and some of New York City’s most exciting young jazz musicians decided to unite their talents in 2010, the goal was to push the boundaries of creativity, both musically and lyrically. After 6 years of weekly residency at SMOKE Jazz Club, more than 300 performances, and 2 album releases, Nickel and Dime OPS continues to inspire spectators with their unique musical fusion and incomparable energy. Music lovers and hip hop purists have enjoyed watching the 9 piece band bring down the house at such fabled venues such as Blue Note NYC, The Cutting Room, Joe’s Pub, and The Bitter End.
