Pete Philly & Perquisite - Eager
One dude born on Aruba, the other a born and raised Amsterdammer got together in 2002 to release their first album in 2005 called Mindstate. The whole album is based on 16 (duh!) mindstates in which Pete Philly raps his truth about them. It's a fusion between hiphop and jazz and has this laidback vibe except for a couple of tracks.
