QB SMOOVE

QB Smoove grew up in Jacksonville and Orange Park, FL. He began rapping at the age of 13 and still continues to grow as an artist and producer, now becoming one of the most sought after artists/producers in Florida. QB began to develop his talents making mixtapes on tape-recorders with friend Mike Beezy, before gradually upgrading to having a complete studio ath their disposal. "Even though there was no money or fame and the quality of the music was terrible, we were having fun and saying what we wanted, and thats all that mattered. We were kids," says Smoove.



QB Smoove got to taste a little fame in high school after manufacturing two full-length CD's and distributing them around the entire school. He and long-time friend NB began to make a name for themselves and become neighborhood rap stars on a small scale. Smoove states, "People actually bought it because they respected it. No one else was doing what we were doing." QB Smoove continues this same hustle today.



Smoove is featured on two mixtapes with Slic Mouf and on the first release from 904 Star Productions, "Recognize and Respect It: Volume 1" available at cdbaby.com/cd/904starproductions. QB Smoove's feature solo release will hit the streets in 2010, preceeded by a mixtape in late 2009. He's bringing to the forefront what he calls "Ryda Muzik", a style of music he developed from riding through the dark streets of his hometown. Smoove laces tight, southern beats with sharp-egded, clever rhymes and flows that are representative of the south but marketable to the masses.



QB Smoove, along with fellow 904 Star/Slic Mouf rapper NB, have rocked crowds in Palm Coast and Jacksonville venues: Club Fuel, Thee Imperial, The Pentagon, Endo Exo and Plush. The two also performed at Arielle's, another Jacksonville venue, on a regular weekly basis at a venue hosted by Big Dog Productions.
