Black Smith isn’t just another rapper chasing trends; he’s an architect of authenticity. Since entering the hip-hop world in 1998, Smith has remained a standout force, blending gritty ’90s lyricism with contemporary flair. His latest track, “Wit It,” featuring Do Brown, is a testament to his relentless hustle and unwavering dedication, designed as an anthem for those committed to grinding toward greatness.
Born in Newark, New Jersey, and later relocating to Delray Beach, Florida, Smith swiftly became a cornerstone of the local hip-hop scene. Alongside his brother and trusted partner, Caleb “DJ C Money” Dominique, Smith transitioned from street corner freestyles and park jams to hosting packed-out clubs. This organic growth led to the birth of Murk Squad, a group known for raw storytelling and vivid street narratives. Their mixtape, “Young & Hustlin Vol. 1,” solidified Smith’s reputation, drawing attention from industry tastemakers.
Even though Murk Squad’s anticipated debut album, “Streets Motivation,” faced setbacks due to managerial challenges, Smith leveraged the experience to fuel his entrepreneurial spirit. He and DJ C Money transformed their adversity into opportunity, opening a studio that became a creative hub for rising artists across Florida. This move paved the way for a pivotal moment: contributing to LL Cool J’s acclaimed track “The Hustler” featuring dancehall superstar Mavado, further validating Smith’s industry credibility with backing from renowned producer Jerry Wonda.
With visual storytelling that resonates as powerfully as his music, Smith’s “Wit It” video encapsulates the luxurious rewards of relentless ambition. It begins with sweeping shots of a city at twilight, quickly zooming into Smith confidently cruising through the neon-lit avenues in a sleek sports car. Draped in gold, exuding understated authority, Smith symbolizes a journey earned through perseverance.
“My music is about the hustle, the determination,” Smith shares. “It’s about staying consistent, surrounding yourself with positivity, and turning your experiences into art.”Released through his independent labels, Black Smith Entertainment Inc and Music Moves Money LLC, “Wit It” recently climbed to #59 on the Hip-Hop/Rap charts—an impressive achievement for an independent trailblazer like Smith. It’s a reflection of his philosophy that real success comes from dedication and authenticity, not shortcuts.
As Black Smith continues to redefine his narrative, his message stays unwavering: embrace the hustle, build your legacy, and always stay “Wit It.”
