BE ORIGINAL....B.SMITH

Brooklyn born emcee B Smith is trying to give you something you can feel. Using life itself as his blank canvas, Smith (born Brandon Smith) illustrates his brand of street literature into a collage of portraits cleverly capturing the stark realities of the environment that raised him.

Growing up, the rapper immediately connected to the freeform artistry from legends such as Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, and Prince. So much, that by the age of 12, he added his name to the list of artists expressing themselves from the heart and began a budding career in rap.

His neighborhood, dominated by crime and the activities from both drug dealers and abusers developed the type of social commentary and perspective that skillfully details the engineering of a mindset in the streets. As the years passed, Smith’s skill and technique naturally matured, inevitably leading to working with established acts such as DJ Spinna, as well as find a home for his music, the Brooklyn based Freedom Musiq imprint and 5-6 City.

In 2008, his ambitions and persistence on wax went far from unnoticed. After word circulated through the hip-hop community of his lyrical wizardry, he was able to secure a highly coveted nomination for Street Album Of The Year at the Justo Mixtape Awards. He also showcased his talent for hundreds of executives and tastemakers at a private Lebron James event alongside Top 40 acts Keri Hilson and DJ Webstar in New York City. The experience and exposure culminated the type of buzz to complement the forthcoming launch of his forthcoming mixtape The Greatest.

Best described as a self imposed credo of the acclaim he’s garnered over the years, the collection of songs will be his last artistic statement as a unsigned rapper and his first in transition to the greener pastures of mainstream America.

With a confidence that spans well past the community that raised and inspired him, be prepared for a refreshing air in the sub genre of New York rap. While today’s climate of rappers are trying to bring the golden age back, he focused on taking you forward. Are you ready for the ride?

“I feel that in order for an artist to make it in the game, he needs to be great. I know I’m the greatest at what I do and I’m ready to let the world know.” - Brandon Smith
