DJ Damage, Dusty and Madhi met and formed the Jazz Liberatorz via DJ Damage's radio show in 1999. Since then, the jazz rap group has collaborated with the likes of Mos Def and Fatlip. 








Their music makes light of their love for classic jazz. This is especially notable on their 2008 album, Clin d'oeil, in particular the title track:
"Quincy Jones, McCoy Tyner, Grant Green
Wes Montgomery, Elvin Jones, Miles Davis
Eric Gale, Pharoah Sanders, Freddie Hubbbard
Billy Higgins, Jimmy Smith, Wayne Shorter
Ahmad Jamal, Thelonius Monk – all big influences
For what it is that we do
And what it is that we are
As we take our stance in music"
