Eric Roberson: Mister Nice Guy, CD

America's leading independent urban/soul artist ERIC ROBERSON returns with his eighth studio album. Nominated for a Grammy Award in recent years – for recordings from his prior album “Music Fan First” - the New Jersey-based performer is on top of his game.

The 15-song album features a cameo from veteran rapper Chubb Rock, who performs on the lead single, the infectious, feelgood “Sumemrtime Anthem”, already attracting strong airplay in the US and UK.

Other guest vocal performances come from Phonte, of Little Brother and Foreign Exchange, who raps on one of the album's other key tracks “Picture Perfect”. It was Phonte who guested on Roberson's hit “Been In Love” from the “Left” album. And Jean Baylor – formerly of hit duo Zhane – joins Roberson for a duet on “How Would I Feel?”. Producers include Rich Harrison (Jay Z, Beyonce, Usher), Bink (Jay Z) and James Poyser (Erykah Badu, Anthony Hamilton, Jill Scott).

Roberson began his successful songwriting career creating hits for fellow artists, among them Jill Scott – who describes him as “a brilliant singer with a voice like red velvet cake” - Musiq Soulchild, Dwele, Will Downing and DJ Jazzy Jeff.
