They did the same thing as Crystal Waters did. The song was called "Come On Down". The song by Nice & Smooth called "What Time Is It?" was sampled the "Fat Albert" theme song.

Lord Digga isn't a group, he's a solo rapper. He used to be down with Masta Ace's INC crew in the early 90's. Is Nice & Smooth's What Time Is It song on their first cd? That's the only cd by them i haven't heard.

Teah that was their Debut album , The Chub Rock one that I posted I think the DJ did that one because I heard that one on the radio when the record 1st came out.

You're right Isiahthomas.:) Nice & Smooth's "Early to Rise" sample the theme from "Fat Albert". There was also a song called "Just Buggin'" by Whistle (which was one of hip-hop's one hit wonder) sampled the theme from "Green Acres".
