About
SMO
“This album is definitely
about growth.”
So says Smo, whose growth as a force in American music cannot be denied. Having topped 50 million views on YouTube, sold more than 450,000 tracks and dominated both the country and rap charts, the charismatic Tennessee-bred artist, outdoorsman and family man draws fans from across all social boundaries.
How does he do it? He
speaks truth. He lays down epic rhymes that challenge listeners to party when
they can, to champion the values on which they were (or should have been)
raised, to look straight into the eyes of life, to laugh and love and even get
angry every once in a while, if that helps make things right.
These many sides of Smo
are represented proudly on his latest album. Yes, We The People is about
growth, in creative horizons as well as in a worldview nurtured by time and
trial. But it’s also about the growth it inspires among his ever-expanding
audience, who see their own stories mirrored in his.
Smo tested - Brett Eldredge approved "WE THE PEOPLE" #warnerfamily #musicrow #musicformyfokes |
“I see things today in a clearer way than I ever have, as a father, as a
son, as an American,” Smo insists. “It’s about that growth for me as an
individual and hoping I can influence my listeners to grow with me.”
From working dawn to dusk on his family farm to riding border to border on his bus, from meeting and entertaining his fans, aka “Kinfoke,” from fusing elements of raw country and hip-hop in a makeshift studio to the private moments he shares via his “Smo On The Go” video posts on Facebook, Smo incorporates all that has come his way into a unique and personal sound.
A new and especially difficult turn impacted Smo’s approach to music and life in general.
Last year Smo underwent quadruple bypass surgery, an experience
that can’t help but change those who survive.
“When you’re facing death
and you’re given a second chance with life, you find that you value that life
much more,” he reflects. “I’ve been guilty in the past of taking the simple
things for granted. Today I stand here, clear-minded, with my eyes set on my
target.”
Smo addresses this in his
“manifesto,” a creed laying the foundation for the album. It pulses throughout
We The People, in the empowering proclamation of the title track, the
determination to succeed that drives “Say My Name,” the spice and sass that
conjures P-Funk on a backwoods parade with “Struttin’ In The Stix,” an
irresistible call to rock the house from “sunup to last call” on “Retox” Read
