Chapter and the Verse

Chapter: Aniff Akinola, Colin Thorpe.
The Verse: Paulette Blake, Debbie Sanders.
Manchester's (UK) Chapter & The Verse was the brainchild of Anif Cousins and Colin Thorpe, initially releasing records on Liverpool's Rham! records (also home to A Guy Called Gerald's 'Voodoo Ray'), they gained praise for their 1991 Great Western Street LP from which the club hit 'Black Whip" was taken, influenced by Soul, Funk, Jazz, Hip Hop & House, a melting pot of styles which gave birth to the Acid Jazz scene in the early 1990s thanks to the resurgence of Raregroove & House in the late 80s
