Young Smitty AKA Smitty, Smitty the Pimp who has been active in the Texas and WorldWide Rap/Hip Hop scene for over 20 years with two gold and one platinum records to show, he has entered back into the music world with a passion.
Smitty began his music career at age 14 by 16 he lived in Houston, TX. After meeting Chad Lamont Butler and Bernard Freeman at a show in Lake Charles, La. his career blossomed. You can barely get Smitty to speak about rap with out the mention of two of the best M.C.’s in the game, Pimp & Bun.
Being the first unsigned artist on Trill Ent. which is a project that Pimp- C spearheaded the transformation of the album Takin Over began with the help of Melvin Vernell II (Big Mel CEO of Trill Ent. and father of Lil Phat) As well as beats made possible by super producer Steve Below.
Due to circumstances the album was never put out under Trill Ent. shortly after Chad was arrested. Staying in contact with Chad during his incarceration and after his release things never got going due to his untimely death and Smitty himself being incarcerated as well.
When the smoke cleared Smitty had 2 gold and 1 platinum records under his belt thanks to his good friend and mentor Chad. The help that he showed to Smitty will never be forgotten.
After Smitty was released in 2009 from the Texas Department Of Corrections, rap no longer was something he viewed as he once did. He gave the game a sabbatical and focused on family and his relationship with God.
Due to the current situation of rap music, disrespecting our women promoting the destruction of our race through selling drugs, gang violence, widespread drug usage. Smitty felt like he had to come back and try and correct some of the problems that plague our youth and all youth in general no matter the race.
So back in the game with the soon to be released album “Mind On Money” look forward to much more from Smitty
