Yall know that I love to spotlight upcoming artists on the blog, and I'm definitely getting back into doing more as the year goes on! So, of course, I had to highlight my boy Smash Adams, as he performed at the Chit Chat Lounge down in Atlanta this past weekend. Unfortunately, I couldn't make it (one day blogging will be the only job I have and need). My friends did though, and, needless to say, I missed a good show.

You can follow Smash on Twitter and Instagram! He's constantly posting about his upcoming music and performances for the fans, so be sure to check him out! Watch the performance below!








Hello, hello everyone! Happy New Year to you all! Today, I'm listening to my boy Smash Adams' new mixtape F.N.A.O. (Failure's Not An Option), which includes his single "Blackout." The tape dropped this past week, and I gotta say I'm proud of the little clown haha. He's doing what he said he would! Listen to it below!




I had the opportunity a while back to interview one of my good friends that's working on getting his name in the industry, Smash Adamz. Smash recently released his first single, "Blackout," off of his upcoming mixtape Me, Myself, and Smash. The song, produced by producer Dre in Atlanta, is "straight bars, no hook," as Smash himself states. "For all who doubted me, turn your stereos up. This one's for you," he starts, and proceeds to GO IN! This "self-proclaimed winner" talks to his doubters and haters straight up and shows them that he is a force to be reckoned with. Check out "Blackout" below!

Blackout by Smash Adams

There is a potential for a video; I'll keep you guys posted. Me, Myself, and Smash, set to be released on Smash's birthday September 1, is a fresh start for the rapper, who has parted ways with his label YSZ Entertainment. Running solo for his first official mixtape, Smash said that the tape will have a wide range of songs, including songs with amazing punchlines like "Blackout," and songs for the club. And ummm, even a sex song where he's actually singing! "Oh Lawd Jesus..." My words exactly from the interview haha. "It's a lot of diversity, a little mix of everything," Smash said. "So I just hope everyone can catch onto the mixtape." As of right now, he's working on music, and might even have a major hook up at AllHipHop.com for more promotion. Too excited for him! His talent beats several rappers out here now, and I'm excited to see where things go for him in the future.


PEACE.



Good afternoon readers! Hope everything is good with yall. For today, I got another upcoming artist to spotlight!

Ok, so a friend of mine has decided to get in the rap game, and I had to spotlight him. I heard that he was trying to rap, but honestly I didn't even give it a second thought UNTIL I HEARD SOME OF HIS STUFF! Boy got flow...I know him as Dionte Barnum, but throughout the country, he will become known by his stage name SMASH ADAMS. Read more on him and hear some of his tracks after the jump!


Smash is originally from D.C. (DMV where yall at?!), but now stays and works on rapping down in Georgia. He got his name from the popular Nickelodeon Doug. Doug's agent alter ego Smash Adams? I had to take it back to remember that one LOL but it clicks. Smash started rapping for fun, just a little thing to do on the side with friends, until he met a friend of his girlfriend's who encouraged him to try to make something of his rhymes. Smash didn't know about that at first, but eventually gave in. "I didn't want to be another statistic. You know, another black man trying to be a rapper, {LOL TRUE!!!} but I gave it a shot." And he fell in love with it.

His biggest inspirations in the rap game are Biggie (because "he spoke the truth," Smash said) and Lil Wayne (because "he raps about things people don't think about"). He himself loves that he gets to be creative with his rhymes and likes coming up with ideas that nobody has ever done before. And listening to some of his tracks, he definitely doesn't lack skill and I see him going places.

In fact, his latest single "Shut Em Down," created under the underground label YSZ Entertainment (Young Saint Zone, named for the leader of the label Young Saint) and featuring another upcoming rapper Esquire is already being played in NY clubs. "Esquire's cousin is a DJ in New York and he got him to play it. He told us people went crazy!" Smash said. See? Going places...

Right now, Smash is working on developing connects in the game to help further his career. I am also the first to report that Smash is dropping two mixtapes in the near future {EXCLUSIVE!!!! LOL}. He is working on a solo mixtape entitled Lethal Weapon, and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, a dual mixtape with Esquire. Remember the name people: SMASH ADAMS. Sure to be rocking to him soon! And I can say "I knew him when!" Keep doing your thing! Check out his tracks "Awesome" and "Shut Em Down" below!
