Critically Acclaimed Hip-Hop Producers Mike Smith and Jonathan Hay Crossing Genres With Charts & Nominations

Published

on

Multi-platinum hip-hop producers Mike Smith and Jonathan Hay have a jazz duo that goes by Smith and Hay. They’ve had two Billboard charting jazz projects with Jazz [Deluxe] and then the albums’ stellar sequel Jazz Part Two. Brain Zimmerman of JAZZIZ Magazine called Smith and Hay “the genre-busting production team”. The duo has received critical acclaim for their new cover album of Eric B. & Rakim’s classic Follow the Leader, re-imagined in the style of jazz. For this tribute to the iconic Follow the Leader album, the duo collaborated with Mani Ajami, Mike Baker, Atlas Jenkins and master saxophonist Benny Reid, and they released it on the 31-year-anniversary of the original release date.

Aside from their jazz domination, Mike Smith and Jonathan Hay were just nominated for a Dove Award, an accolade by the Gospel Music Association to recognize outstanding achievement in the Christian music industry. The Dove Award nominated single “Beautiful Day” is from the upcoming album Illusion Delusion. Their faith based single has also been remixed by southern rap legend Bubba Sparxxx. Stepping into the country music genre, Smith and Hay recently went viral with “Don’t You Wanna” a crossover single they co-produced for Denny Strickland and Juicy J that debuted on WorldStarHipHop.

NorthEnd Empire Films LLC presents “Irresponsibull” movie. Allen is ready to settle down. Only his girlfriend Theresa doesn’t think he’s anywhere close to being responsible enough to start a family. When an unexpected opportunity arises for Allen to keep Theresa’s nephew and niece (Brian and Britt) and prove his maturity, he jumps to it…without knowing these two kids are not your average youngsters. Marcus is a low level scam artist that works for his uncle, the most “dangerous construction boss” in Chicago. He continues to screw up job after job and is desperate to show his uncle/boss that he can be responsible and counted on in the family business. The boss gives him just one more chance to prove himself. Then, the most unlikely of events happens, causing a chance meeting of Allen and Marcus and starting a downward spiral like no other. Can any of these men make it out and show that they are indeed NOT Irresponsibull?
