Smoothe Da Hustler-The Art of Rap

Real heads will remember the rough and rugged classic "Broken Language" from Brooklyn born Smoothe Da Hustler back in 1995 and the 1996 album that followed, plus a few 12" singles and guest appearances over the years...will now the man is back and has done the title track for the upcoming Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap film and it's pure dopeness.

Cold rocking the infamous Melvin Bliss "Synthetic Substitution" drums and the wah wahs from the timeless "UFO" is all that it takes for Smoothe to drop clever rhymes listing the names of legendary MC's, DJ's and Producers.
