Lets start with the basics.
Who are you guys?
Cleveland, OH Hip Hop duo consisting of Mooke and Chemist.
How, when, and where did you meet?
Over a decade ago we met in school and both shared an interest in music. We started performing as Smoke Screen in 2007.
How did you break through the initial music barrier?
Basically paying dues. We started at the bottom playing smaller venues frequently and then we moved up to doing shows more regularly at the Grog Shop, Beachland etc.. In the past 2 months we have had the opportunity to play the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The House of Blues and The Cleveland Ingenuity Festival 2011 stages. We also did our first East Coast Tour in May.

Outkast, Neptunes, Redman & Method Man, Incubus
