[here is charlie smarts’ video for a N.A.S.A remix to his first single “test of time” for his upcoming “LowBottomMe” releasing 7.11.11. charlie’s a huge part of the beginning of my fascination with hip hop, almost all of my childhood memories were with music, mostly with hip hop, different albums that he and his friends would listen to and i began to love as well. meet, my brother, charlie smarts.]
