Bio:
Dj Whitesmith, a Trackmaker, comin’ at ya wit divine beats. My hiphop music is a part of a emotion which everyone has. Loneliness, sadness, disappointment, misery, hapiness, joy... They all come from our life or streets. That’s why you cannot ignore my music. My music always stay by you, to be stronger, to be independent, to love youself more... This is the Emotinal HipHop.
Words by: DJ Whitesmith
--------------------------------------------------




"I want to share with them and remind them what happened to me as a child I was the victims of world. But I can learn and help them to understand that we have to move on and learn how to forgive and we blessing,helping another people."

I would like to share this Artist - DJ Whitesmith, from Japan. I think DJ Whitesmith has already created the ideal world in his mind. He has many things to say and he tried to let us know in his special way. His music is always filled with strong beats (downtemple) and  powerful feelings. You can feel the heavy sense of mission and responsibility of the world in his works, the gravity of human body, the sense of love,  anti-war movement, sadness, loneness...
This album shows he cares about Humanity!

This is not the casual album and I suppose some people may think the rhythm and beat are too heavy and depressive. Nevertheless, fans of this kinds of genres are giving high rating to it and "Zooooo.jp"(A music website with great reputation of mellow music. ) called this is " world-class " album, so just let's listen up!
