Hey Smart People,


New music from the 4th album, Growth and Change, is now available for your listening pleasure.

This album was a singer/songwriter project of lead singer Hakhi Alakhun. Emphasis was placed on lyrical quality, melody and feeling. This is especially notable on Are You Alive and Scars. Chill is a poetic song about relaxing the mind and soul in a stress inducing world.

We hope you feel this music.

Thanks for listening

Hey Smart People!

Dear Smart People,

We've added three songs from the 4th album, Rx Mercury, for your listening pleasure.

Live Again
Deserve
Powerful

The lyrics to these songs alone are not what you typically here in today's radio, or from what labels allow their artists to write. This is the beauty of being an indie artist. We take pleasure in writing songs that uplift and empower the listener.

We're closing production on the SBK documentary and hope to get a final edit done by mid summer/early fall. We promise it will be nothing short of compelling!

Until then ..

Stay tuned, and Stay smart!

Dear friends,

Last June, I put out a singer songwriter album I call Growth and Change. It features a soft rock sound with a lot of heartfelt lyrical content.

Today, we're sharing a few songs from the album for your listening pleasure.

Are You Alive? is a song for the dreamers. The message is simple. Use your life to do what makes you feel most alive.

Fortitude: a very personal song about holding a positive idea in your mind, and keeping it there regardless of what is happening around you.

Chill: a letter to the world, to listen to our intuition and instincts a little more, use the heart a little more, and worry a lot less.

HUGE thank you goes out to all the new friends who have added themselves to our mailing list. We truly appreciate you taking the time to listen to SBK. There is so much to share with you all so please stay tuned for more new music. We also appreciate the wonderful feedback some of you take the time to write. It helps us realize that we doing the right things with music!

Check out the new songs and let us know what you feel!!

Have supernatural day out there!

We're currently close to wrapping up production on the SmartBlackKid documentary, The Queen City Alchemist,
and we're very very excited to release this project. Hope you all will be as excited to see it this summer!

Heeey Everybody!!!!!

Just sending a quick THANK YOU for subscribing to the SBK email list. It is truly, truly fascinating and awesome and every possible positive adjective I can think of to see folks from Canada to Australia and all over this huge globe of ours adding yourselves to the list.

We are in the midst of building a lot of NEW content to keep you all up to date on SmartBlackKid. Our latest project is a documentary about the artist scheduled for release this summer under the working title "Queen City Alchemist".

For those who don't know, Hakhi Alakhun, lead singer, writer, guitarist and producer of SmartBlackKid is from Buffalo, New York. Buffalo was once the largest and most prosperous city at the end of the 1800s and was referred to as the Queen City of the Great Lakes; with Chicago being the King City of the Great Lakes.

That being said, Hakhi is an artist who is the personification of change and transformation; like that of an alchemist who turns base medals into gold. His story is one of triumph out of poverty and socio-economic deprivation using the tools of art, music, self expression, spirituality and self education. It is a very inspiring story and one that needs to be told for today's generation.

Stay tuned for information and thanks again everyone for your emails, comments and feedback on the songs posted here.

We've uploaded three more singles from the first SmartBlackKid album, Change Reaction.

Solar Flare is one of the harder rock songs on the album and is a manifesto for underdogs everywhere. Sometimes, you've struggled and paid dues for so long that you have to do what you were born to do, no matter what.

Stand Up is call for all intelligent people who care about the state of the world and to not just sit by and stay quiet about what is important to you.

Let it Go is song about what we all need to do with worldly and societal conditioning. It's very easy to get caught up in media, culture and perceptions that actually have nothing to do with you.

SmartBlackKid is an artist for the people. Many artists say "yeah, my music is different" but for once, you can actually trust that SmartBlackKid works hard at being as original and authentic of an artist as possible. Most people see a black guy artist and automatically assume he's a rapper. Well.. some of us black guys rock too.. (:

Lastly, THANK YOU to all the good friends who were kind enough to send an email with great feedback on the first three songs debuted on this site: Free Thought, Gimme Love and Sell Sell Sell. We are on our way to 16 digital music stores and soon you'll see SmartBlackKid music on iTunes, Amazon MP3, Rdio, Spotify and such.

Stay tuned!!!
