BIO & COMMENTS - G-SMOOTH
Born George Waters aka G-Smooth and raised in The Port City (Wilmington, North Carolina), this 23 year old's talent way exceeds his experience. In fact, his delivery is very seasoned, bold, confident and unquestionably smooth.
His recording credits include "Deeper than Music, Volumes I & II. At the invitation of MDP he joined the crew in 2002, and has appeared on most of their recordings since. He's included on both "Summer Heat" and "Bars for Days" Volume I & II, MDP's most popular recordings to date. Without a doubt the benefits have been mutual, this is currently exhibited on hott traxs such as "Swollen Pockets", which G is a featured artist on.
Smooth's music favorites consist of some of the giants of Hip-Hop, such as Tupac, Nas, Biggie and Lauryn Hill. Beyond music his interest are video games and sports. Primary though, is his heart and soul, his family and the future success of Mandown Productions.
Who Am I listening to: 2Ez, and Hydro Cuzo. You can find me on traxs "Go Head" and "Swollen Pockets": KVIBE, ARKADE and TRAVANTI
