When I first listened to the beats made be DJ Smooth4Lyfe my first impression was "HE DID THESE ON FRUITY LOOPS"! The music made by this cat sounds so fresh and so clean even Pete Rock would be jealous. This is definitely the music that will keep you bouncing around in your car, getting it down on the dance floor, or even just kickin it in your crib. The state of Maryland definitely has a true artist in their presence! He is often heard saying that "I probably would be retarded if it wasn't for music"/ You can just tell that music is in his heart and in his soul. This cat has been given many honors. A couple noted are Track of the Day Props at www.garageband.com and top 20 status at American Idol Underground. For all you underground hip hop and R&B artists I am sure you would want to hit up this cat to produce a couple of tracks for you. DJ Smooth4Lyfe can be reached easily on his MySpace page at www.myspace.com/djsmooth4lyfe. Big props goes out to DJ Smooth4Lyfe! Keep doing your thang!

I DECIDED 2 CHECK THE SONG BECAUSE I SO MARYLAND, I WAS THERE 4 2 YEARS, BUT I'M GLAD IM DOWNLOADED "SHOW ME LOVE". IT HAS A CLASSIC HOUSE FEELING 2 IT, AND GETS A LITLE BIT FUTURISTIC AS IT GOES, NICE VOCALS... CAN'T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE BASS LINES, MY SPEAKERS DONT HAVE A GOOD BASS.
