" Smooth Beast is a collective of emcees: Mike Fish, GiGiO, Karen Less & Monolyth. Based in Oakland, the four emcees alligned through the mutual platform Return of The Cypher, arguably the dopest hip hop event in the Bay held at the Boom Boom Room in San Francisco. With the incentive of creating a musical masterpiece, the four combined their magnificent talents & diverse backgrounds. With boom bap melodies inspired by hip hop's classical era & a twist of new style, the four emcees deliver hard, intelligent lyrics touching on metaphysics, blues influences, social awareness & also rhymes that display their skill & humor. 15 tracks deep, the Smooth Beast album is sure to rock & shock your thirsty ears " |

With the incentive of creating a musical masterpiece, the four combined their magnificent talents & diverse backgrounds. With boom bap melodies inspired by hip hop's classical era & a twist of new style, the four emcees deliver hard, intelligent lyrics touching on metaphysics, blues influences, social awareness & also rhymes that display their skill & humor. 15 tracks deep, the Smooth Beast album is sure to rock & shock your thirsty ears Vincent "Tuffy" Morgan, which recorded for Capitol Records and Flavor Unit Records.Discovered by KRS-One, the duo released its debut album, Station Identification, in 1995. It spawned the group's biggest hit, "Mad Izm," which peaked at 54 on the Billboard Hot 100. After the album ran its course, the group continued to make appearances throughout the 1990s, including on KRS-One's self-titled album and on the Blade soundtrack. In 2000 the group released a second album titled Armaghetto on Flavor Unit, which was followed by a third album in 2006 titled Secret Science Rap."
