[TUHH] Tell us about yourself. Name? Where are you from? What kind of music you create? Smarts : My Name is Edgar Quevedo aka Smarts. I was born in Mexico and raised in Long Beach California.

Smarts : I've always love to rhyme since I was a kid, but really started focusing on recording when I no longer heard what I wanted to listen to through various outlets like radio, tv and music stores. [TUHH] How did the Hip Hop I Am album come about? Smarts : Well Caper and I had done a track that Su-Preme produced before on my album Political Party a few years back. He just sent me the track and I was with it. [TUHH] What was the vision for your song on the " HIP HOP I AM " album? What was the title? Why did you choose that title? Smarts : Caper sent me the track with his verse already on it and then sent it within hours with the chorus and title already on it. I heard the verse and chorus and knew my direction. [TUHH] What is your favorite part of creating music or performing? Smarts : My favorite part of creating music is seeing where the beat is going to take my imagination. Having people vibing with my music it and singing along is a great feeling. Its an adrenaline rush for sure, I feel invincible when onstage. [TUHH] Where do you get your inspiration from? Smarts : I get my inspiration from personal experiences and current events. So you'll hear me reference my daughter, or things such as the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership).

I'm just building the catalog and try to work with the elite mc's of the industry. [TUHH] If you had to pick your top 5 ?coolest things in the world?, what would they be? (can be music related? or not) Smarts : One of them has to be the internet for sure. [TUHH] Who is your favorite or most loyal fans? Smarts : I get all types of fan, I'm just happy i have so many. I surprised where my fan base spreads at times I get plays in places in the world I never heard of. Whenever I do I live shows I usually have that crowd of loyal fans that support from my hometown in Long Beach. [TUHH] What is one thing you?ve learned during your career in music?
