Hip-Hop is more than just beats and rhymes to Rapper Podgy Smith. This skilled rhyme slinger gives listeners creative song arrangements along with witty punch-lines and creative lyrics. The Little Rock resident loves his city. ‘My city means everything to me. My home is behind me 100%. Right now, he is riding high with his new album “Bright Nights & Dark Days: Tears of Gold.”

AllHipHop.com: Give us some background info as to who you are.

Podgy Smith: I’m Podgy Smith currently residing in Little Rock, AR. I was inspired by 2pac, Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, Bun B, Kanye West & North Little Rock’s own Project Dawgs. Project Dawgs made me believe it was “real” when I would walk in big retail stores and see their work along side the majors. I feel that my music reflects one of the purest forms of Hip Hop. The whole essence of the art form embodies everything that I do. When you hear my catalogue, you not only hear good music but you also walk away with a small piece of me. I’m pure and authentic. Follow my movement on twitter @podgysmith.

AllHipHop.com: What is your USP? (Unique Selling Proposition) and what sets you apart from other Hip Hop artists?

Podgy Smith: Not to sound cliche, but I’m myself. Whether I’m doing a song, interview or having a causal conversation, I’m me. I don’t use some special “rap voice” or act a certain way when I talk to different people. Being myself is easier than trying to pretend to be a bunch of fictional characters.

AllHipHop.com: What single or project are you currently pushing?

Podgy Smith: The singles I’m pushing are “White Russian” and “Blessed Oil.” I shot music videos for each song. And the full length project I’m promoting is titled “Bright Nights & Dark Days: Tears of Gold.”

AllHipHop.com: Tell us about your album?

Podgy Smith: My album “Bright Nights & Dark Days: Tears of Gold” is currently available now for free download on my website www.podgysmith.com. It’s filled with different excerpts of my life. It’s almost semi- autobiographical. It’s comprised of entertaining music that people can relate to and enjoy.

AllHipHop.com: What is your favorite part of your live show? How has it evolved?

Podgy Smith: My favorite part about my live show is interacting with the crowd. My show has evolved to where it doesn’t even feel like a show, it’s just natural. It’s like having an intimate conversation with friends.

Nicki Minaj is about to back again! Now that American Idol is over or about to be over…like OVER…she is working again. The word on the block is that she is about to get started on a new album. The early rumors say she is in the lab with Future and Wiz Khalifa. How is his name Future if he’s here now? Anyway, there’s speculation that the first song will have something to do with her Roman alter ego. I cannot confirm that though. Anyway, God Bless.

Nicki went hard in the new French Montana video.

And she had a double nip slip in the “High School” video with Lil Wayne.

(AllHipHop News) Less than three weeks after Chicago reported its lowest monthly total for homicides in over 55 years, seven people were shot at an album release party in the Gresham neighborhood of South Side Chicago early this morning (March 21)

The event was a launch party for the record label Heat Squad Records, which was held at Mr. G’s Entertainment Center.

A fight broke out around 1 a.m. and a gunman opened fired, according to Police News Affairs Officer Hector Alfaro.

Of the seven victims, one was a 19-year-old female with the rest being males between the ages of 21 and 36.

There is no word if any of the people shot were one of the gunmen.

Chicago Tribune reporter Peter Nickeas reported that there were shell casings found inside and outside the club, a table was flipped, further validating the claim that a chair was thrown initially to spark the fight.

Unfortunately, the camera, inside the club, was not functioning properly.

However, the Chicago police are checking surveillance camera footage across the street from the club.

King Samson and Lil Mouse performed at the label release party.

Both artists took to their personal Twitter pages to address the shooting:
