About Me
BORN TERRANCE LEE CARRIE JR., SMOOVIE BABY IS EMERGING ON THA HIP HOP SCENE AS ONE OF THE HOTTEST YOUNG MCS YET TO COME.
KNOWN FOR HIS CATCHY LYRICS, DEEP VOICE, AND OUTSTANDING CHARACTER, SMOOVIE BABY IS VERY TALENTED AND IS AN IMPRESSIVE LYRICIST.VERY POPULAR WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX, SMOOVIE BABY GOT HIS NAME FROM HIS "SMOOTH, CALM DEMEANOR". THE "BABY" CAME LATER FROM A PET NAME HIS GOOD FRIEND JO BEEZ WOULD ALWAYS CALL HIM.ORIGINALLY FROM SAN FRANCISCO, CA, HE RELOCATED TO FAIRFIELD,CA WHERE HE EVENTUALLY WOULD MAKE HIS MARK. HE STARTED HIS CAREER IN 2000 IN GROUP CALLED "THA PROFESSIONALS" (NAMED AFTER THE MOVIE BASED ON A PROFESSIONAL ASSASSIN, NOTED FOR BEING ABLE TO "ASSASSINATE" THE COMPETITION) WITH HIS NOW INCARCERATED BROTHER. AT THIS TIME HE AND HIS BROTHER WERE ON THEIR WAY TO HIGH SCHOOL. AFTER GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL IN 2001, HE THEN HOOKED UP WITH ANOTHER GROUP OF YOUNG MCS NAMED "THA RUGRATZ". THA RUGRATZ AT THAT TIME CONSISTED OF SMOOVIE BABY, SHORTY SHORTSTOP, TAZZ, YUNG STAXX, AND MAC LITTLE. THEY MADE THEIR MARK AT ALL THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS WITH THEIR PARODY CLASSICS "PASS THE STRAWBERRY KOOL-AID" (PASS THA COURVEUSEIR) SEVERVAL REINDITIONS OF P.DIDDY'S "I NEED A GIRL" AND SMOOVIE BABY AND YUNG STAXX'S INFAMOUS HIT "GIMME THA BOOTT". THEY BECAME SO POPULAR THEY WERE PERFORMIN AT VARIOUS LOCAL PARTIES AND FUNCTIONS. ALSO, THEY FOUNDED THE IDEA OF PLACING BATTLES AND BEEF AT ALL THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL IN THE FAIRFIELD AREA. HOWEVER, AFTER TAKIN MUCH CRITCISM FROM CLASSMATES AND OPPOSING RAP GROUPS FOR THE CHILDISH AND IMMATURE MATERIAL, EVEN THE NAME, THE RUGRATZ CHANGED THEIR NAME TO "THA FELONZ" IN 2002. AFTER CHANGING THEIR NAME, NEW MEMBERS WOULD JOIN THE GROUP, KHALI HUSTLE, JO BEEZ.THA FELONZ PUT OUT 3 MIXTAPES, ONE OF WHICH SMOOVIE BABY PARTICIPATED IN, SPARKING NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF BEEF AMONGST THE ENTIRE CITY OF FAIRFIELD. HOWEVER THROUGH THIS CONTROVERSY IS WHERE SMOOVIE BABY WOULD GAIN MORE POPULARITY, YET MORE PROBLEMS.DUE TO INNER GROUP ISSUES, SMOOVIE BABY LEFT THE GROUP TO PURSUE HIS SOLO CAREER. THINGS DIDN'T EXACTLY WORK OUT AS PLANNED SO SMOOVIE TOOK A ONE YEAR HIATUS TO WORK ON SCHOOL. IN 2003, HE MADE AN ATTEMPT TO REJOIN THA FELONZ AND RECORDED AND UNDERGROUND SMASH HIT "LOCK YA BITCH" WHICH CREATED A BUZZ THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE CITY. HOWEVER, HE NEVER REJOINED THE GROUP. INSTEAD HE HOOKED UP WITH CO-CEO OF KINGSTYLE RECORDS,ALVIN MOORE, JR., IN LATE 2003.HE BEGAN WORKING ON HIS FIRST SOLO EFFORT "POPULAR DEMAND" WHICH WAS RELEASED IN MAY 2004. IT WAS AN INSTANT CLASSIC AND REFLECTED SMOOVIE'S TALENT AS A LYRICIST A LOT MORE THAN PREVIOUS PROJECTS. WITH SONGS LIKE, "IF U LEAVE", "GET NASTY WIT IT" AND "NOT LEGAL YET", HE BECAME THE MOST POPULAR UP AND COMING RAPPER IN FAIRFIELD. SELLING SEVERAL COPIES ALL OVER, HE HAD OFFICIALLY BECOME THAT SOLO ARTIST HE HAD ALWAYS DREAMED OF BEING. " WHEN I WAS WIT THA FELONZ AND ALL, I LOVED THEM DUDES CUZ THEY WAS LIKE BROTHAS TO ME BUT MUSICALLY THEY NEVER REALLY GAVE ME MUCH OF AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO ME AND JUST MAKE GOOD MUSIC YA KNOW, IT WAS ALWAYS JUST ABOUT THA HYPE" NOTED BY THE YOUNG RAPPER/PRODUCER/SONGWRITER/CEO.IN 2006, HE INKED HIS OWN INDEPENDENT RECORD LABEL, $WAGGER ENTERTAINMENT. A BIG ACCOMPLISHMENT FOR THE YOUNG ARTIST WHICH GAVE HIM THE ROOM TO MAKE MORE DECISIONS FOR HIMSELF. " I FELT LIKE NOW THAT I HAVE A SAY SO ON WHAT HAPPENS WIT MY CAREER AND SO FORTH, I CAN BE MYSELF AND REALLY MARKET MYSELF AND MY ARTISTS THE WAY I WANT TO." HE THEN RELEASED A DOPE BREAKTHROUGH RECORD FOR HIS LABEL, "MY JORDANS" WHICH INSTANTLY CREATED A BUZZ ALL OVER MYSPACE AND HAD PEOPLE DOWNLOADING IT ALL OVER THE NET. A SLIGHT RIP OFF OF THE HIT SONG "VANZ" BY THE PACK, ALLOWED SMOOVIE BABY TO GAIN MORE OF A MAINSTREAM APPEAL TO HIS AUDIENCES. HE WOULD GO AHEAD AND RELEASE A HOT MIXTAPE CALLED "THA SPARK BEFORE THA FLAMEZ" A "WARMUP" TO HIS SECOND SOLO ALBUM, "FLICKER N FLAMEZ". FLICKER N FLAMEZ NOTED THE GROWTH AND MATURITY OF SMOOVIE BABY AS A ARTIST, BUSINESS MAN, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, A MAN. "I WANTED TO SHOW THAT I WAS SERIOUS ABOUT THIS MUSIC SHIT AND THAT I'M THA HOTTEST NIGGA THIS WORLD WILL EVER GET A CHANCE TO SEE."SINCE THEN SMOOVIE BABY HAS MADE SEVERAL APPEARANCES IN CELEBRITY BASKETBALL GAMES IN THE BAY AREA, COLLABORATED WITH ARTISTS SUCH AS THA DILIGENTZ, YOUNG SHAM, ERK THA JERK, AND MORE. ALSO HIS FIRST ARTIST FROM UNDER THE $WAGGER ENT. UMBRELLA, YOUNG D, HAS JUST RELEASED HIS FIRST MIXTAPE, "SEVEN O SAVAGE" WITH THE HIT SINGLES "GO BOP (REMIX)" AND "TO THA THROW". SMOOVIE BABY IS ALSO A PRODUCER AND IS WORKING ON SEVERAL PROJECTS WITH OTHER ARTISTS AS WE SPEAK. HE HAS PERFORMED AT MANY VENUES BEING KNOWN FOR HIS AWESOME STAGE PRESENCE, GREAT ENERGY, AND WELL..THE LADIES LOVE HIM!! WITH IN HOUSE PRODUCERS, HIS COUSIN, ROYMILLZ, AND GOOD FRIEND, SHABBA, AND ALSO HIMSELF, $WAGGER ENT. WILL HAVE THE MOST POTENT AND ORIGINAL SOUND OF OUR TIME.
