American Me
Rapper CL Smooth is ending a ten-year hiatus and releasing his highly anticipated solo album, American Me. The album, which drops on Shaman Work Recordings, features production by Arsonist of the Heatmakerz, Kaygee and Tramp of Divine Mill and newcomer Mike Loe. '' American Me is about misconceptions. It's about the things people say, the things people perceive, right or wrong it's about the speculations that we force on each other," CL Smooth explained.  The first single from CL Smooth's debut is titled "Smoke In the Air," Like his well known songs "Straighten It Out," "I'll Take You There," and "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)," which were recorded with former partner Pete Rock, American Me will tackle a variety of personal and political topics. "I'm bringing the real deal, in spite of everyone and everything else. My lyricism isn't about brute force; instead it showcases what I've come up against and why I'm still here."
