"If you've ever wondered where the hell North Dakota is, you've come to the right place. North Dakota is the center of North America, and more importantly, the center of nowhere. Made up of flat grassy plains and farm houses, it isnt of much interest. But somewhere in the heart of ND, is a young man who is completely...undeniably....honkey. Christopher Wayne Smart, a North Dakota native, born March 25th 1987 in Ft. Yates ND, is by far the greatest MC to ever live.....no just kidding, but he IS pretty damn good. Raised by his mother alone (R.I.P. Mom) once his father decided to be a kid again, he grew up the way most rappers pretend to grow up. Chris was born Christopher Bloom, until his mother married a man by the last name "Smart" whom she met in college in the late mid 90s. By the late 90s, they divorced, because of, among other things, violent abuse....Chris and his mother suffered through it for 5 long years------long story short. In early 2000, frustration and pent-up anger found their way onto paper, and so began the birth of Smart Alick. Though, he had many names before settling with Smart Alick, including "C-Roc", "Verse-atile", "Maniac", "Physikz", and a few other goofy handles. For a few years, he thought rap was his future, and struggled in school due to firm belief in that. As he grew and matured, reality became clear and he realized how far fetched the music business is. Music is now an outlet, and a hobby Chris enjoys. Smart Alick music is Chris in raw truth, humble honesty, and sorrowful expression. You can't categorize or label music when that particular music is as much alive as the person who made it. There's a lot to be said for that....especially nowadays. If you have any other questions, or would like to get to know Chris/Smart Alick a little more, simply contact him! And thanx for reading."

Why this name?
Well, Smart is my last name, and my close friend Tyson (Ahlter Ego) "bestowed" it upon me one day out of the blue.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives emerging artists a chance to grow in every aspect of music, and hones their skills as lyricists, musicians, vocalists, etc - from the most important tool an artist can use : "feedback" from other artists.

Band History:
I started writing poetry in 8th grade.
I began battling on a board called "The Untouchables" in 9th grade during computer class.
I started recording on my Ma's work-issued laptop haha.
I stopped recording for a short period after CRASHING my Ma's work-issued laptop!
I began recording again when my music teacher (God Bless her) caught wind of my old songs and was impressed to where she ordered equipment for me to use.
Thats when it really took off, and we've been going ever since.
Though, recently, I've taken a break from recording while attending college and furthering my education.
