Introduced to the hip-hop mainstream as a ghostwriter (see Nelly, Diddy, and Murphy Lee‘s Shake Ya Tailfeather, B2K and Diddy‘s Bump Bump Bump), Smitty inked his own deal with J Records 2003 and proceeded to release singles Diamonds On My Neck, Died In Your Arms, and Tell Me. Once the Jive execs started to put pressure on J, though, the deal’s original sweetness went sour, so he decided to jump ship (as Cassidy and Rhymefest would later do) and went on to find greener pastures at Blackground/Interscope. Now that his label drama is over, the Little Haiti native is back on his grind and determined to keep his “Mind On My Money’ at all times. Being the sharp businessman he is, Smitty locks down the “heavyweight feature” factor, enlisting T.I. on the hook’s front end. While Joe Boom‘s vocals on the latter half may come off as cliché (despite what some blogs may tell you, it’s NOT T-Pain!) , Block‘s piano-loop instrumental is fresh enough to pique listeners interest. If you’re a fan, stay on the lookout for Smitty’s contribution to our exclusive freestyle series, coming this summer.

I like Smitty and its too bad he hasnt been given a chance to further prove his skills to the mainstream. He does well on this and TI of course shows why he is where he is. The production is very smooth too with the piano, I like this one.
3.5/5 |

A ghostwriter is a ghost as the name says already. But as far as your mentioned songs, he's in the liner notes, means he got his credit and publishing. The beat is actually good from the idea. But his drum game is wack to me. The stupid fast 808 drum thunderstorm he's throwin in totally kills the nice piano and strings vibe. Also don't like the hook, same money bullshit that I heard already million times. And the autotune nerves like crazy, that should be a no brainer as well. But Smitty spits hot as usual. Love him. But unfortunately this song will still not do anything for him...

Nice. I'm always lovin' the piano and T.I. kills this. Smitty sounds pretty good and the hook is cool. It's tight, 3.5, but I'll round up.

Im feelin the hook by TI but not Smitty's verses ... Rotation at VERY best cos its a played out topic that i've heard from every artist in everysong ... I second what 'Big-A' said, it will probably be forgotten in a few weeks since it doesn't bring anything new ... 2.5 |

Was expecting the production to have a little more thump than this but the catchy piano melody definitely makes up for it. The hook is kind of generic but it works. T.I. stands out to me and Smitty is decent. In rotation

A rotation worthy track. Smitty & T.I. go far hard & the beat is solid
@WOW - Thats what most rap songs are about. I dont necessarily agree with it, but thats what usually sells singles these days |

WOW:]], could it be because most of the songs that dare to go beyond the topics, you rate a 1?
Anyway, this sounds like it was recorded in his J Records days-appropriate enough to let 'em know he's back. He'll need to come with somehting stronger for the official single, though (Smitty, if you're reading this, tap into your resources-your label's home to Timbaland, Tank, JoJo, & Pheave among various others!) |

@ M. Burmy - Not sure if something stronger would be needed for the official single. Had the misfortune of listening to the radio station the other day, and this would be welcomed to my ears with open arms on the FM waves. Both Smitty and T.I. flowed well, respectively, and Boom (assuming he was singing on the hook) was catchy, as well

I can def hear this on the air waves. When I first heard T.I. come I was like "whoa! lets go" thought he was about to take off, which he did even on the hook. Pretty solid track though, not really looking forward to hearing more from smitty, hope he can change my mind though.

I liked the beat, piano sounded really good, as far as Smitty's lyrics go it wasn't anything special. The beat was more intresting than him and you know when that happens youre in trouble. Hopefully he'll bring more of that ghostwriting skills to the table 'cause this is nothing special.

WOW:]], maybe you might just have to expand your beat appreciation if you want to enjoy topical variety. Beats are still cool, but they're getting less and less important in what makes a good song to me (I care more about the lyrics). Then again, maybe this is the fate you chose (you did say "I like what I like, and I'm never going to change to like that other stuff").

Smitty could improve on his lyrics. He still has milk on his breath when it comes to content. He has delivery. It's just not enough. T.I. and Joe Boom should have to the track for there self.
