I'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY RAPPIN SINCE I WAS 9 AND MAKIN BEATS SINCE I WAS 10. I GO BY SMOKE-E OR SMOKEY J(the j stands for JR). I NAMED MY SELF SMOKE-E IN HONOR OF MY GRANDFATHER OTIS "BIG SMOKEY" SMOTHERS WHO DIED WHEN I WAS 2 AND WAS A BLUES MUSICIAN. MY UNCLE(my grandfather's brother)IS STILL ALIVE AND LIVES IN CHICAGO. HE'S ALSO A BLUES MUSICIAN AND GOES BY "LITTLE SMOKEY" SMOTHERS. I WAS BORN IN KENOSHA, WISCONSIN AND OFTEN SPENT THE DAYS I WASNT IN SCHOOL IN CHICAGO ON THE SOUTHSIDE. SO I REP CHICAGO JUST AS MUCH AS I DO KENOSHA, IT'S LIKE A 2ND HOME TO ME. I LIVED IN KENOSHA TIL I WAS 11 AND MOVED TO BOGUS ASS EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN. IT AINT THAT BAD OF A CITY BUT IT SURE AINT KENOSHA AND CHICAGO lol ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANNA KNOW, HIT ME UP.
