I met Cinco Soprano, today and had a great time learning about him, his music, ideas and philosophy. Cinco is a well-taught and practiced musician with influences that range from SouthAmerican and Spanish rhythms and progressions, through rock and pop, to classics and hiphop and East Coast Rap.

A producer, label manager, and member of 3 musical acts, the cat has his hands on the pulse of the industry in a lot of ways.

Here’s a bit from the Smash Bros project, I think you’ll dig, man. Warning NSFW!

Born and Raised in the unforgiving streets of New Jersey , both Smash Brothuz had music instilled into them at an early age. F.A.T.E & 5 Star’s Fathers were musicians as well as other family members , so music was embedded into there genes. Both started writing at an early age , influenced by the tough, gritty , East Coast sound the “Smash Brothuz” were able to infuse that with there many life experiences to create a sound like no other. They Linked up together in “03” in Newark NJ and formed a brotherly bond with each other through out the years , which definitely reflects in there music. There being compared to ” Red n Meth” “The Lox” and some are saying there the new “Outkast” . this dynamic duo is quickly rising up the ladder as the games “Hottest Tandem” . Armed with immaculate delivery ,slick word play , and witty punchline after line the Smash Brothuz should be on top of game in no time.
