Interview: Curiousity spills the things he’s seen and done onto his notepad!

LaQuawn Smith, professionally known as “Curiousity”, was born and raised on the tough Southside streets of Youngstown, Ohio. He is the youngest of 6 siblings and has endured hardships in life that most could never imagine. Coming from having nothing, he was drawn to the streets and lure of fast money to relieve his meager living conditions, and to make his mark in the neighborhood. This led a to a series of events that would set the stage for his decision to pursue music 100% At 17 years old, living on the cusp of life and death on a daily basis, he nearly lost his life on several occasions, and nearly lost his freedom for 30 Years, ultimately serving a little more than 1 year and before having charges dropped.

The one sure thing he’s always had to keep him going was his music. A passionate MC, Curiousity spills the things he’s seen and done onto his notepad, and paints vivid pictures of what it truly means to live and survive in the hood.

His musical journey may seem like it’s just beginning, but he has already amassed a full catalog of music ready to release to the world. His delivery method…Truth in advertising! You get what you see. No industry smoke and mirrors. No fake faced. No fake gang-banging or affiliations. Just a man on a mission to spread his word, his truth, and a genuine sound the world needs to hear.

Recently joining the .400 Club Music team, him and label head “QB aka Mr Casualty” (also his 1st Cousin), are set on a path to shake up the industry, and flood the market with a new Midwest sound, chocked full of dope beats, dope rhymes, originality, and reality.
