The best fiction is always based in some truth, even if the truth hasn’t happened yet.
17 year-old rapper K-Smith has already lived a life that has entertained millions.
The nephew of box office superstar and Grammy Award winning MC, Will Smith, K is intimately acquainted with the character his uncle popularized on television.
“I’m the real Fresh Prince,” he says confidently. “[In Philly] I was in placements because I used to act up, sent away to Juvenile facilities. Then I came out here and carried my problems to L.A a little bit. When I finally came to this music thing it got me on the right path.”
Before K became immersed in melodies he made noise in less constructive ways.
The discipline of home schooling and organized sports couldn’t tame his allure for breaking the law.
“It was fighting, being around the wrong people. That whole lifestyle in philly,” he remembers.
Like his sitcom counterpart, around 2004 he moved out to L.A to stay with his uncle, hoping the warm weather and open spaces would change his perspective a bit.
While growing up in the presence of a box office star and millionaire came with definite advantages, Kyle didn’t allow it to spoil him.
“What keeps me level is that I still go to Philly and live with my mom. I’ve witnessed both sides. I go back to Philly but I’ve slept in Nelson Mandela’s house and the White House.”
With that much talent in his gene pool, it wasn’t long before K would work on making waves of his own.
“Seeing my uncle perform and seeing how people respond to him [made me want to rap.] I love pleasing the crowd and getting the attention back.”
After cutting his teeth at local shows K-Smith is putting the finishing touches on his debut album, Streetz to Hollywood. The first single, “Better Man” features a lady-pleasing cameo from Omarion and establishes K-Smith as a charismatic young talent that is eager to make his own mark on the music industry.
“[People] think I’m going to follow in the footsteps of my uncle. You won’t hear crazy cursing from me, but you’ll hear more edgy records,” he says. “I have a cut called ‘Million Bucks’ that samples Ludacris on the hook (from his hit “Stand Up”) where I rhyme ‘I hit the club, when I leave, they be all in awe/ got shorties takin’ off they bra like it’s mardi gras.’ That’s not Fresh Prince at all.”
The title track gives K a chance to display his story telling abilities as well, sharing his unique perspective of life in Philly and L.A. “Picture this, a twelve year old caught in a trap/Dad left when he was three, mom strung out on crack.”
However, this young man, who counts LL Cool J and 50 Cent amongst his influences, is ready to take his camera-ready style and confident delivery and set a new standard for rocking a party. With production from The Trackmasters, Mike City and newcomers Jukebox and Elijah “EK” Kelly, Streetz to Hollywood is sure to see heavy rotation on radio and T.V outlets nationwide.
“There are a lot of joints for the ladies and I have club records. The fellas will respect my swagger,” he says with a grin. “I say stuff to the ladies that the fellas might want to say, but they don’t even have to say it. Just turn the song on and I’ll say it for them.”
