"First and foremost, I would like to say that I'm just a young man from Bedford-Stuyvesant, chasing a dream. To have the support from my team, family, friends, and fans is extremely humbling and I appreciate every bit of it. Where do I start? Honestly, none of this would’ve been possible without my Mom. Her words and guidance give me the motivation and determination to strive for what I believe in. Her eyes continue to light up with every accomplishment and that's all the satisfaction I need. Thank you Mom. Furthmore, none of this would have been possible without my TEAM. A team I wouldn't trade for the world. Earbeataz Music Group and Bloc Dymond Management from day one you guys have believed in me, pointed me in the right direction, handled all the little things, and showed me how to transition from being a rapper to being an artist. With all the ups and downs, hardwork, and committment, we finally made it to today! The best has yet to come, and with you guys around, there are no limits! Thanks for everything!! Thanks to my family for sticking by me and for being my biggest fans and supporters thus far. Shel, for being the father figure I never had and teaching me the essence of what hip hop really is. My siblings Matt, Eric, Mike, Andre, Mikiema, and Milira, thanks for all da love and support. Jazz, the mother of my second child, my other half, my biggest fan, thanks for sticking through it all. The late-nights of hard work, the rehearsing of my rhymes, even when I know you didn't want to hear them (lol), I appreciate everything babe. Special thanks to everyone who supported me from Day 1, the whole Williams family, my friends, the whole St.Bonaventure, PT-C-DB, Flamez, Gunz, we came a long way since "And 1" haha. The whole Roosevelt Projects, FLF, every dj who spun my record, every blog who showcased my artistry, everyone who believed in Smooth and took part in building the "So Fly Smooth" Brand!! I can't forget everyone who contributed to making this album a success! J Sygnature and Jay-O, ya been grinding with me from day one! With all the hardwork, we will build an empire, that's Billion Dolla Brooklyn! Special thanks to my brother Gramz and the whole Imperial Alliance, GiO, you are the best, we are going to the top together. Tatiana Owens, Amoy and Tanya T6, you guys are amazing. Adam Shenk and J Luvve, we got a hit bro! and my mans Moefundz, we taking over Brooklyn. If I forgot to mention anyone personally, please know that I have you guys in my heart!!

This is just the start of a long journey, now its time for you guys to see who So Fly Smooth is "Before the Beginning." Enjoy!! It’s SO FLY SMOOTH!" -Marcel Brown
