"My passion will always be the club scene...ever since I ran wit Biz in the early 90's its has run thru my veins like a drug."MIXTAPE SCENE"

. . Not new to the mixtape game but silent for a while, Smooth Denali is beginning to make a buzz again and an impact on the mix cd circuit with his 'WHO'S THE GREATEST MC SERIES' and his BEST of's . Probably one of the most bootlegged cds in a while has been his WHOS THE GREASTEST MC PART 1-BEST of BIGGIE...with this cd in circulation and bootleggers hard on the street this cd has kept Smooth's name alive and his Best of JAYZ part 2 following suit - the future is looking bright. In his 10 volume set Smooth puts the question on the consumer - Who is the Greatest MC--BIG, JAYZ (2 volumes of this one), NAS, 2PAC, JADAKISS, BIG PUN, EMINEM, BIG L, PRODIGY & BEANIE SEGAL(they share number 9) or the CLASSIC number 10 (RAKIM, KANE, KOOL G RAP, KRS ONE or LL COOL J). Also in 2004 be on the lookout for the NEW DYNASTY series (will keep this on the hush til they pop up at a Bootlegger near you.)
"The mixtape game is way different from the way it use to be so I watch and learn. Even as an O.G. in this game you still gotta watch, listen and learn...but its about to pop off...shout out to JLOVE (JLOVE…n***a) for helping put a brother back up on the map)". Along with his own cds, Smooth has worked with DJ Don Juan (Turntable Assassins) hosting and mixing ESPN magazine's official hip hop mix cd Vols 2 & 3 and was part of the Monsters INC double cd along side some of the countries hottest djs. Also be on the lookout for his collaborations with some of today's hottest up and coming djs in the streets. His biggest accomplishment to date though was his OLD SCHOOL HIP HOP CLASSICS cd featured in the TALE OF THE TAPE section of THE SOURCE MAGAZINE in the Dec 2003 issue.
