Black Smith doesn’t just rap about the grind—he lives it. A fixture in hip-hop since the late ’90s, the Newark-born, Delray Beach-raised MC returns with a powerful statement on his latest single “Wit It” featuring Do Brown. Equal parts motivational street anthem and personal declaration, the track is a bold reminder that longevity in this game is earned, not given.
Emerging in 1998, Black Smith has carved his own lane through raw authenticity and street-smart lyricism. Long before social media co-signs and viral moments dominated the culture, Smith was building his name in Florida’s underground—throwing events, packing clubs, and establishing a reputation rooted in hustle. That grassroots energy evolved into Murk Squad, a crew known for their unfiltered bars and dedication to the grind. Their breakout mixtape Young & Hustlin Vol. 1 became a regional classic, cementing Smith’s presence as both a rapper and a cultural contributor.
Despite early setbacks—including delays surrounding Murk Squad’s official debut album Streets Motivation—Smith never folded. Instead, he doubled down. Alongside his brother and longtime collaborator DJ C Money, he co-founded a recording studio that would become a launchpad for Florida talent and a headquarters for independent creation. This new direction led to a major career milestone: contributing to LL Cool J’s “The Hustler” (featuring Mavado), produced by the legendary Jerry Wonda. It wasn’t just a feature—it was validation.
“Wit It” picks up where that momentum left off. Fueled by a polished beat and driven by Smith’s sharp delivery, the song exudes triumph. From the opening lines, he makes it clear this is more than music—it’s a mantra. The accompanying video—equal parts cinematic and street-level—captures Smith in his element, navigating city lights in a luxury whip, surrounded by symbols of success. But the glitz isn’t just for show—it’s a reward for decades of work.
“Every bar I spit comes from a place of experience,” says Smith. “The wins, the losses, the lessons—I pour all that into the music. ‘Wit It’ is about staying committed, even when the road gets rough. It’s about building something real.”
Released under his own imprints—Black Smith Entertainment Inc and Music Moves Money LLC—Wit It recently cracked the Top 60 on the Hip-Hop/Rap charts, peaking at #59. For an independent artist navigating the game on his own terms, that kind of success hits different. It’s not hype. It’s legacy in motion.
As Smith’s influence continues to grow, one thing remains clear: he’s not here for fleeting trends. He’s here to uplift, to inspire, and to prove that with enough perseverance, anything is possible.
