| Info: | Smooth tha Messenger released his selftitled debut album on
Metro One in 2001. Smooth is one of the premier rap/hip-hop
artists in Christian music today, as well as being the
creative force behind the popular rap group K2S (Key to
Salvation).
Awards
Their single, "After the Rain," from their album Welcome
to the New Era (1997) garnered them a top 10 CHR hit. Dove
Award nominations followed for both rap song of the year and
rap album of the year. Every radio single K2S has released
has been a top 5 rhythmic hit. With all of his past
accolades, Metro 1 Music jumped at the chance to launch
Smooth's debut solo album Tha Messenger (2001).
Born and Raised
Smooth was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. While
growing up, Smooth dealt with the struggle of living in
South Central but never bowed to the pressures of the
streets. At the age of 16, Smooth dedicated his life to
Christ and has been living for God ever since.
Worldwide
Now Smooth has recorded five full length albums, which have
sold a combined amount of 80,000 records worldwide, recorded
two music videos, performed in 46 states in the U.S., and
averages about 100 concerts a year.
Mission
Smooth's mission is characterized by passion, dedication,
hard work and a deep commitment to delivering groundbreaking
music with a message for people worldwide.
Debut album
His first solo album Tha Messenger is co-produced by
D-Black, a mutli-platinum producer who has worked with many
artists such as Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Doggy's Angels, Ice T,
and produced the multiplatinum single "Wobble Wobble" by
the 504 Boyz. "I wanted to do a record completely different
from a K2S record. I wanted my whole style to be
different," states Smooth. "Working with DBlack was a nice
experience. He brought the project to a whole new level."
Positive Message
The MC continues: "One thing I really wanted to address on
this record was the unsaved. That's why I wrote the song
"Don't Hate Tha Flow" which talks about how a lot of
people think that Christian music has less worth than
regular music. Once non-believers hear that it's Christian
or Gospel they tend to shy away from it! All I'm trying to
do is to give you a positive message instead of a negative
one! Don't hate what I'm doing because I'm trying to
touch peoples lives!"
New Project
The rapper is currently working on his sophomore album,
which will be released in 2007. No workingtitle known as of
yet. |
