I come from Kansas City, Missouri. I was introduced to poetry at a very young age and being the son of two very outspoken and forthcoming parents, I never had any problem with saying how I feel or showing off my talents. When I was in high school, I began a fulfilling music life with friends that shared the same interests in music, politics, and direction. As time progressed, the group was stretched thin and eventually we all moved on from a collective to doing solo ventures. Now, here I am... The rapper, actor, poet, producer, director, and overall artist. Craig Smith is an American Rapper and Producer. He is a messenger of hope and continues to strive to make the world better with his message.
