One summer day at a family barbeque, Big Chill let his cousin hear some of his beats. Mr. Burns let him know that he made beats and had equipment also.One day they got together with L.A.C., Pheno Tha "G", Naughty, and Conscious. The group had a freestyle jam for hours. They decided 2 move all the stuff into "Tha Basement". We started da session with sum drinks and sum sticky. Mr. Burns came up with the name "Smoke County" because dats what goes down round here.
