B.i.g Dreams For Chill Smith
As we gear up for the release of the Locals Only Compilation Album on September 3rd, we're excited to highlight one of the standout artists featured on this project: Chill Smith. This compilation promises to be the ultimate showcase of the East Coast's vibrant music scene, featuring a diverse array of local talent. Among these incredible artists, Chill Smith stands out with his unique sound and compelling performances.
It's no secret that "Big Poppa" by The Notorious B.I.G. is a timeless classic, a song that will undoubtedly make its way onto summer party playlists for years to come. With its smooth groove and unforgettable lyrics, "Big Poppa" has solidified its place in music history as a true classic.
Chill Smith is an acclaimed artist, producer, and audio engineer who has made significant waves throughout the East Coast music scene. Known for his electrifying performances and masterful recordings, Chill Smith has played at iconic venues like The Stone Pony, The Strand Theater, and House Of Independents. His collaborations include sharing the stage with influential artists such as Joe Budden, Pharoahe Monch, and the Sugar Hill Gang. His unique sound and dynamic stage presence have earned him a devoted following and critical acclaim.
Last year marked the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, a milestone that prompted Chill Smith to reflect on the genre's rich history and his personal musical influences. During a 45-minute set at Wonder Bar, he decided to pay homage to the artists who shaped his love for music. Growing up as a '90s kid on the East Coast, The Notorious B.I.G., or Biggie Smalls, naturally made the list. Instead of the often-played "Hypnotize," Chill Smith chose "Big Poppa" for its distinct vibe and recognizability.
"Big Poppa," with its smooth sample from The Isley Brothers' "Between the Sheets," allowed Chill Smith to recreate the instrumental with ease, thanks to its simple yet iconic loop produced by Chunky Thompson and Sean Combs. Adding his signature contemporary hip-hop elements, Chill Smith brought new life to the classic track, infusing it with his unique style and flair.
We are thrilled to announce that Chill Smith will be featured on the Locals Only Compilation Album, set to drop on September 3rd. This compilation showcases the best local talent and promises to be a testament to the vibrant and diverse music scene on the East Coast. Don't miss out on this exciting release featuring Chill Smith and other incredible artists.
