The first project slated for release on May 24, 2011 is the hot new single “Block 2 Block” from hip-hop artist Robert Love aka Big Love. The single features artists’ Mike Bless, Drac and Slugga, along with production by Evil G. Big Love is an extraordinarily talented and seasoned artist, who has worked independently on the music scene in major cities throughout the South.

About SMC Recordings: Founded in 2005, the San Francisco-based, full-service, independent record label, SMC Recordings, has quickly risen to the top echelon in sales and acclaim of urban hip-hop record companies nationwide. They have also promptly become rising stars as an emergent next generation indie label regardless of genre. SMC Recordings originally grew out of a vision that Ralph Tashjian had in the early 00′s to launch a new kind of record label, one based in his hometown that would be about alternative music in the truest sense of the word. He knew the opportunity existed to build from the ground up an imaginative company that could fill the space between the corporate monoliths the majors were becoming and the D.I.Y. outfits that many artists were resorting to. When Tashjian crossed paths with Will Bronson, SMC Recordings came one step closer to being realized. An ambitious Bay Area-bred music fan and aficionado, Bronson was covering Northern California’s colorful hip-hop scene for a fledgling urban music magazine called Showcase at the time. Tashjian saw in him the potential for an inspired partner with an eye for talent. His instincts were right, the first release brought in and shepherded by Bronson was Bay Area hip-hop stalwarts San Quinn and Messy Marv. The subsequent recruitment of Tashjian’s fellow industry icon, George Nauful, completed the foundation of the company’s business affairs and financial sector.
