"The Rough And The Smooth" was the highly anticipated 2nd album from Outside. Written, produced, mixed and engineered by a 22 year old Matt Cooper, who journeyed through dub, jungle, hip hop and latin rhythms and vibrant, modal jazz. Playing much of the instrumentation including keys and drums, Matt was joined by some of the scene's finest players from Jhelisa, Imaani, Greg Osby, Cleveland Watkiss, Byron Wallen, Tony Remy and Gary Crosby. Upon release, 'The Rough And The Smooth' received huge acclaim and was hailed as a masterpiece by the music press from GQ, MOJO, The Face and Mixmag and fans alike, taking Outside to another level. From the complex funk of 'Journeyman' parts 1 and 2, to the Nu Yorican hit of 'The 29/8 Steps', to the powerfully emotive violin led jungle of 'To Forgive But Not Forget' and the epic jazz and beats fusion that is 'Moodswing', the album was impossible to pigeonhole and influenced a generation of music heads and artists.
