About

Baltimore-based rapper, musician and entrepreneur Wordsmith makes hip-hop with a strong motivational message. His mission is to entertain and educate through a message of purpose while providing clean, quality, marketable Music for the Masses. 

 

Earning a full athletic scholarship to play football at Morgan State University it was his transfer to Salisbury University that shifted his focus to entertainment. Finishing with a Bachelor's Degree in Theater Arts Wordsmith combines his love of Music and Theater into highly expressive performances free of profanity, full of message driven content and fun for all ages!

 

In 2009 Wordsmith opened his independent label NU Revolution Entertainment and since its inception distribution and licensing deals with INgrooves, AWAL, United Masters, Redeye and APM Music have helped the company flourish. Releasing 5 albums and a host of singles over the years Wordsmith became a Grammy Voting Member for his numerous songwriting credits and earned winner of Best Rap/Hip Album for Perspective Jukebox at the 16th Independent Music Awards. Wordsmith continues to use this platform to strengthen partnerships with major brands like Netflix, ESPN, NFL Network and WWE to name a few. 2019 brought prominent features in the hit shows Russian Doll (Netflix), Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Netflix), Preacher (AMC) and Skam France (UK TV), while several of Wordsmith’s songs have shown up in movies, video games and online videos throughout his career. Recently, Wordsmith’s music was featured on the hit TV Show ESPN First Take!

 

Continuing to expand his company Wordsmith partnered with the US Department of State to fund performances and workshops in countries around the world to strengthen cultural ties. To date Wordsmith has brought his influential music to Azerbaijan, Haiti, Belarus, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Angola and Ukraine.

 

Always looking for a new challenge a chance meeting with Tonya Robles, VP of BSO, brought an opportunity to write new narration for Carnival of the Animals with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. A second opportunity came when Wordsmith was asked to host the 2018 BSO Gala with special guest Cynthia Erivo and in June 2020 he will join the 250 year anniversary of Beethoven’s birth with a new interpretation of “Ode to Joy” and new original text for Beethoven Ninth. Still, with Hip Hop being Wordsmith’s first love he has collaborated with notable acts Chubb Rock, Skyzoo, Camp Lo, Sadat X, Jaz-O, Ruste Juxx, Grand Daddy I.U. & his cousin Roc Marciano over the years to name a few.

 

Philanthropy has always been a major part of Wordsmith’s core values and his partnerships with Project Plase Homeless Shelter in Baltimore and Kids Connection Haiti keep his purpose alive and well.

Wordsmith "King Noah" LP Instores/Online June 19th, 2012

Boom bap beats meet acoustic, alternative and pop instrumentation to quickly erase any resemblance of an average rap album. King Noah focuses on good music instead of sticking to a particular genre.

Furthermore, Wordsmith’s King Noah takes you from the moment his son is born to predicting his future. Word’s ability to write songs that describe the detailed obstacles of life as you get older and appeasing the consumer who just likes good production and memorable hooks is easily attained throughout this album.

Fans alike will be able to relate to the life lessons Wordsmith lays out, while getting a sense of their childhood along the way. Music is supposed to evoke emotions or set a certain mood for the person listening to it; King Noah is the blueprint for those circumstances.

This is an album that is bold and timeless in an era where HipHop is similar to fast food. You have to be optimistic when an artist is willing to take a risk and create an album that is personal in nature, but worldly in its musical presentation. That embodies Baltimore, MD’s Wordsmith!
