Influences: IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY…. AND THAT CHANGE IS SMOKEY. A NATIVE OF TENNESSEE BORN IN NASHVILLE RAISED IN COLUMBIA AND FRANKLIN THIS GUY HAS EXPERIENCED ALL WALKS OF LIFE, UPS AND DOWNS. IT WAS DESTINED FOR SMOKEY TO BE IN THE MUSIC BUISNESS, FROM WINNING TALENT SHOWS AS EARLY AS 1ST GRADE. HE DISCOVERED HIS TALENT AS A RAPPER AROUND 10 YEARS OLD. SEEING THE WAY PEOPLE RESPONDED TO HIS LYRICS HE WAS CONVINCED THIS WAS HIS GIFT. AT 16 SMOKEY BEGAN RECORDING WITH VARIOUS GROUPS LEARNING THE ASPECTS OF THE MUSIC BUISNESS.IN 2000 SMOKEY RELEASED AN INTERNET MIXTAPE TITLED “JUST SAY NO” AND FROM THAT POINT IT WAS KNOWN THIS IS A MUSICAL GENIUS. SMOKEY NEVER STOPPED HIS GRIND PROCESS HE BEGAN TRAVELING AND MEETING PEOPLE. AT A MUSIC CONFERENCE IN LOUISVILLE HE WAS APPROACHED BY C.E.O. OF CASH MONEY RECORDS BRYAN “BABY” WILLIAMS AND ASKED “TO SPIT A VERSE” AND WHEN HE SPIT EVERYBODY WENT WILD! FROM THAT POINT IT WAS EVIDENT SMOKEY WAS A HOT COMMODITY. IN HAVING TO OVERCOME LEGAL ISSUES SMOKEY WAS SET BACK FOR A WHILE , BUT USED THAT TIME TO SHARPEN HIS MIND AND USE THE NEGATIVE AND TURN IT INTO A POSITIVE.IN 2007 HE WAS DISCOVERED BY MAFIA MONEY ENTERTAINMENT AND WAS INTRODUCED TO THE BUISINESS ASPECT OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY LEARNING THAT IT’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A RAPPER AND A MUSICIAN. IN 2008 SMOKEY BEGAN NETWORKING IN ATLANTA LINKING WITH COMEDIAN HENRY WELCH, HE WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE HEADLINER AT THE WORLD RENOWNED “BODY TAP” FOR HIS BIRTHDAY BASH AND PREFORMED HIT SINGLE “LOOK AT HER” AND FROM THAT POINT THE BUZZ HAS BEEN IMMACULATE. NO LONGER IN THE BACKGROUND SMOKEY IS NOW IN THE FOREFRONT. HIS 2ND MIXTAPE “MAFIA HITS” SPROUTED THIS YOUNG SEEDLING INTO A TREE OF A LYRICAL MASTERMIND. OVER 5000 UNITS WERE PRESSED AND SPREAD ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST WITHOUT DISTRIBUTION ONLY BY THE HARD WORKING JUGGERNAUTS OF MAFIA MONEY ENTERTAINMENT. IN A MORE RECENT ENDEAVOR HIS 3RD AND FINAL MIXTAPE “PRESIDENTIAL” WILL BE HANDLED DIFFERENTLY, MASS PRODUCED AND SHIPPED WORLD WIDE. THE ALBUM “COLUMBIAN NECKTIE” WILL FOLLOW DIRECTLY AFTER.HIS CRAFTY WORD PLAY AND QUICK DELIVERY PROFOUNDLY PUTS HIM AMONGST BEING ONE OF THE BEST. IT’S A DEMAND THAT HE’S HEARD CLEARLY. HIS SMOOTH BUT YET RUGGED LYRICS COMBINED WITH A SILKY SOUTHERN DRAWL AMAZINGLY CONTROLS THE EARS OF ALL LISTENERS. BEHIND 808 DRUM KITS AND A MELODIC BACK DROP PLATINUM SONGS ARE PRODUCED PROFUSELY. NO COMPARISON IS TO BE MADE BETWEEN HIM AND ANY OTHER ARTIST BUT RATE HIM A TOP FLIGHT CONTENDER IN ANY GIVEN WEIGHT CLASS. SALES ARE THRU THE ROOF WITH LITTLE RADIO PLAY, SMALL PROMOTION AND DISTRIBUTION. A FEW FLYERS AND WORD OF MOUTH TENDS TO DRAW A LARGE CROWD QUICKLY. ONE LISTEN AND YOUR HOOKED ON THESE POETICAL LYRICS.IN HAVING THE CHANCE TO WORK WITH MAJOR ARTISTS SUCH AS {YUNG RALPH, YOUNG BUCK, AND ALLSTAR} AND PRODUCERS SUCH AS {ZAYTOVEN, FATE EASTWOOD}ON THE ALBUM. AS WELL AS OPENING FOR MAJOR ARTISTS INCLUDING {YOUNG JEEZY, WEBBIE, BOOSIE, YOUNG BUCK, BUN-B, 3-6 MAFIA, FABULOUS AND DOLLA } HE MOST CERTAINLY OPENS A SHOW WITH STYLE AND MUCH CHARISMA, ALSO ALONG WITH HEADLINE ACTS HIS STAGE PRESENCE IS CAPTIVATING. “HE IS MIND BLOWING... IT’S ENTERTAINMENT AT ITS FINEST” A HIGHLY ANTICIPATED UPROAR IS COMING FROM THE SOUTH…. IT’S “SMOKEY”(THE TENNESSEE MASCOT) THE FUTURE.
