Respect of The Game, Love For the History that is Hip Hop!!
The Birth of the New Rap God!
Some are just meant to be legendary. Two unconquerable souls merged and the legend of a poet was born in Charleston, South Carolina. The son of a minister, C. Smith learned early that life had divine meaning and that the power of words could affect that meaning. Growing up, he avoided the pitfalls of the street game and consistently educated himself to how the world works…from the block to the boardroom. He decided that knowledge not guns was the path to take, but the streets didn't agree with that idea for long
.
Even though he personally succeeded in avoiding getting caught up in crime, he saw first hand on how the streets operated when his uncle was murdered in a drug deal gone wrong. It was this tragic situation that was the subject matter of his first rhyme.
A couple of years later, C moved to Long Island, NY and hooked up with his childhood squad that had a local underground group called Born Naturalz. The group struggled to find their way through the music industry maze but it was no doubt that the product had potential. In 1998, the group decided to go their separate ways but it was here where C BlaQue refined his skills to become one of the hottest underground MC's as he merged the bounce of the South with the swagger of NY.
C. Smith continued to see the power of the South in music during his time at Florida State University where he gained his Industrial Engineering Degree. He was always performing at parties and writing to whatever instrumentals he could get his hands on.
Due to his love and passion for music, in 2004, he reached out to his childhood friends to help him with an independent project he was working on. They of course didn't hesitate to provide endless amounts of powerful tracks and lyrics. The independent market immediately gave its endorsement when they heard the first wave of material.
C had mastered his flow, producing 18 songs in less than two weeks. Selling over 15,000 units, The BlaQue Out Mixtape was certified as a hit. His website has been one of the fastest growing sites since it’s launch in 2005. With shows from Tallahassee to Cancun from LA to Jamaica, this overwhelming success sets the stage for his debut album titled "Points on the Package" due Summer 2009.
