Hailing from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, CB Smooth is a rapper and singer
who focuses on Hip Hop but also infuses his work with the Blues, Jazz,
R&B, and Bounce. Part of Dame Grease’s Wave Gang Crew, CB Smooth has
partnered with the independent label Entertaining Mindz to release his
debut album “All I Do” as a follow up to his mixtape “Country Boy
Smooth.” Mixed by famed engineer Fabian Marasciullo, “All I Do” features
Jazze Pha, 8Ball, Boldy James, Cory Jones, and Big Moeses. The first
single, “Never Had” featuring Johnny P, was produced by legendary
hitmaker Zaytoven.
CB Smooth’s love for Hip Hop started at a young age. At 8 years
old, CB purchased Naughty by Nature’s “Poverty’s Paradise” album, and
soon followed that up by picking up 2Pac’s “All Eyez On Me” and
Notorious B.I.G.’s “Ready to Die.” In addition to Pac and Biggie, CB’s
favorite artists growing up included R. Kelly, G-Dep, Rakim, DMX, Max B,
50 Cent, DJ Screw, Cam’ron, Black Rob, and Ma$e. These artists proved
to be incredibly influential on CB Smooth’s style as a Hip Hop artist.
His love for the soulful nature of R. Kelly’s song-writing, as well as
the infectious hooks of Max B’s music, provided him with the insight to
focus not just on the standard bars dropped by most emcees, but also on
the choruses, bridges, and production that are key in making quality
music. For CB Smooth, the best things in life are music, basketball,
boxing, and hustling.
