WordSmiths

"The WordSmiths are an innovative, indie hip hop group from Lakeside, California. The group consists of three members: Solicit, Enormus, and Jaw Jargon. Solicit and Jargon are cousins, & Enormus is a long time friend of theirs. They first started rapping together as kids around 1998. As their passion for music grew, Solicit and Jargon began writing songs and recording them on a dual sided karaoke machine. They would make full tracks on cassette tapes with whatever beats they could get their hands on. They kept at it and eventually the recording process was upgraded when Enormus bought a Boss SP sampling workstation and a keyboard, and they were able to start making songs with their own beats. In 2003, the WordSmiths finally got access to a home studio set up with Acid Pro 4 and a cheap microphone. They wasted no time and started putting out Cd's around Lakeside. In 2006, Solicit pressed up a limited number of copies of the WordSmiths 1st album "Aggressive Intellect", & sold them hand to hand around San Diego.
The WordSmiths have been going strong now for 10+ years, and they released their sophomore album "End of Discussion" in July of 2009. Solicit also released a solo mixtape called 'No Soliciting This Mixtape Vol. 1' in March of 2010 and is currently working on his solo album, "Door to Door Sales".
The WordSmiths have the desire to bring hip hop's conscious back, and their mission is evident in every verse. Keep your eye out for these guys because they are definately some of San Diego's finest."
