Dirty Face AKA Dick Smeagol

A native North Carolinian, Dirty Face grew up during volatile times when being involved in crime and gangs was almost a given for a young black man. Born Rod Hall, this young MC learned at a tender age the necessity of developing his skills and working hard to create his own destiny. Utilizing the experiences that forged his fiery and spirited personality, Dirty Face has become a beast at writing lyrics. A true visionary, he brings his distinctive style and enthusiasm to the table, blazing an innovative trail in the Southern Hip Hop community.
Dirty Face has been collaborating with Spitflamez Inc since 1999, but aspires to be the CEO of his own company. You can catch him on an array of projects including: Dirty Face Mix tape Vol. 1, Spitflamez Inc. Mix tape Vol. 1, Jynxx PresentsBeats and Life Vol. 1, Spitflamez Inc. Mix tape Vol. 2 as well as the Live Wire Savages album "Bout Time". Dirty Face is currently working on his official album as well as another Spitflamez Inc. compilation.
Though influenced by artists such as Ice Cube, MC Eiht, Jay-Z, 2Pac, Biggie and Ghostface Killah, Dirty Face finds his motivation from within. He isn't disturbed by all the hate in Hip Hop. He says, "The competition in the industry inspires me even more". It's no wonder the kid is blazing the streets with a steady flow of heaters!
When asked what sets him apart from other artists he said, "What makes me different is I'm a Hip-Hop emcee. And when I say that, there are not a lot of Hip-Hop artists out here. Don't get me wrong, I like what's going on today but there's no creativity when you hear their lyrics. I'm creative with my work; I put time and effort into it". After you listen to a couple 16 bars from Dirty Face, the competition will start to sound extremely watered-down to you.
It's obvious to his fans how passionate Dirty Face is. His onstage charisma and intensity has earned the talented MC much respect, creating a sizable Southern buzz. His swagged-out flow behind the mic has spiraled him to become a local icon. But don't get it twisted. Dirty Face has a versatility that will appeal to Hip Hop fans across the globe. The kid's got fire! And he's well on the way to making the Hip Hop industry stand up and take notice.
