Smif-n-wessun [hip-hop]

Following 30 years of their iconic single Bucktown, the duo helped change the shape of the industry from the inside out. In the early 90’s, Smif-N-Wessun had come to shock, entertain, and drip open a new reality to the listeners. Thanks to the dark, murky rhymes alongside bouncin’, often jazz-infused melodies with the Beatminerz top notch beats, singles like Bucktown and Wontime became rap classics.

In late 2005 they released Smif-N-Wessun: Reloaded followed by Smif-N-Wessun: The Album, two years later. In 2011, they collaborated with hip-hop legend Pete Rock on the album Monumental, which featured guest spots from Styles P, Memphis Bleek, Raekwon, Bun B, and others. Later in 2013, they drew on their reggae influences for the EP Born and Raised which included contributions from Jahdan Blakkamoore, Junior Kelly and Junior Reid, among others.

The duo released their seventh album, titled The ALL, in 2019. The album was produced by 9th Wonder & The Soul Council and features appearances from Raekwon, Rick Ross, Rapsody, Musiq Soulchild, and more. Currently, they are back in the studio with 9th and the crew, working on their eighth LP.
