  • C.L. Smooth is an American rapper, poet, and is best known as the vocal half of the influential hip-hop duo Pete Rock & CL Smooth. After the pair split in 1995 Pete Rock, whose work with CL had garnered him a reputation as one of the finest producers in hip-hop, went on to produce tracks for dozens of marquee-name and/or well-respected acts, and to release a batch of solo and instrumental albums. C.L. Smooth remained musically inactive. The pair managed to reconcile their differences only long enough to record five isolated tracks in the ten years since their split: "Da Two," "Back On Da Block," "Fly 'Til I Die," "Appreciate," and "It's A Love Thing. " There were talks of a definitive reunion and a new album in 2004; however, the speculation was dismissed by both parties after another fallout. During his period of hiatus, C.L. Smooth declined even to appear as a guest on other artists' albums, with the exception of "Only the Strong Survive" with DJ Krush in 1996. Recently, however, he has contributed featured guest vocals to songs by AZ ("Magic Hour"), Nujabes ("Sky is Falling") and Dipset affiliate J. R. Writer (the remix of "Mesmerize"). He is currently signed to the Shaman Work Recordings label, with whom he and producer Mike Lowe have released the singles "American Me", "Warm Outside," "Smoke In The Air" and "I Can't Help It. " A music video was made for "Smoke In The Air" by production group Bin Bin High. He released his debut solo album, American Me, in 2007. To promote the album, Shaman Work released a promotional mixtape compiled by DJ J Period called Man On Fire in late April 2006, featuring 36 minutes of freestyles and a remixed version of the track "Impossible". He was also been featured on the DJ Jazzy Jeff album The Return of the Magnificent on the track "All I Know", which was also featured in the video game NBA Live 08.

  • CL Smooth (nacido como Corey Penn) es un rapero estadounidense de Mount Vernon, New York, y parte del influencial dúo de hip hop Pete Rock & CL Smooth. Tras la disolución del dúo en 1995 Pete Rock, que se había ganado bastante reputación con su trabajo con CL como uno de los mejores productores de hip hop del momento, continuó produciendo y remezclando canciones para artistas y grupos muy respetados, además de liberar álbumes en solitario e instrumentales. CL Smooth, por entonces, estaba musicalmente inactivo. Una vez arregladas las diferencias entre Pete y CL, grabaron cinco canciones aisladas: "Da Two", "Back On Da Block", "Fly 'Til I Die", "Appreciate" y "It's A Love Thing". Hubo rumores de que el dúo podría reunirse de nuevo y sacar un álbum en 2004. Durante su periodo de inactividad, CL rechazó incluso aparecer en álbumes de otros artistas. Recientemente ha contribuido con AZ en la canción "Magic Hour" y con J.R. Writer (artista afiliado a Dipset) en el remix de "Mesmerize". Actualmente pertenece al sello Shaman Works Recordings, en donde él y el productor Mike Lowe han grabado los singles "Warm Outside", "Smoke In The Air" y "I Can't Help It". CL tiene planeado publicar este verano un álbum en solitario titulado American Me.
