C.L. Smooth of Pete Rock and C.L. Smooth fame has made noteworthy contributions to hip hop including the legendary “T.R.O.Y.” And now, years after the separation with former partner/producer Pete Rock, C.L. Smooth will make his return to hip-hop and is adding his name to the diverse roster of artists that are on the Shaman Work Recordings imprint.
Shaman Work’s diverse roster includes such artists as Sol Uprising, Scienz of Life, MF DOOM, Ta’Raach, KMD, Wale Oyejide (AKA Science Fiction), Divine Mind, B.I., Finale, Bandwidth and Misters. C.L. Smooth has not wasted any time by hitting the studio to unleash his ideas for the new project. He is an excellent addition to the Shaman Work Recordings Family.
“Just thank Shaman Work for having the vision of me coming on to do this solo record. The EP is just the beginning; we have a lot more in store.” says C.L.
C.L. Smooth has just started working on his latest solo project with Shaman Work Recordings but fruits of this project will be hitting the streets soon. The yet to be titled project will spawn a few hot releases. The first single, with production by Arsonist(Heatmakerz) and Mike Lowe, will drop as early as July as well as a mix CD. Expect to see an EP of C.L. Smooth’s project in the fall that will be packaged with a special DVD including interviews, tour/show footage, and other exclusives. All of these releases lead up to the unveiling of the already widely talked about full-length album that will drop in 2006.
