After several independent and minor label releases, Smo's major label debut studio album, Kuntry Livin', was released in 2014 and charted on three Billboard charts. He was the subject of an eponymous reality television series on A&E that began in 2014. Early lifeJohn Lee Smith was born in San Diego, California, to mother Mary Jane Smith (née Barber) and father Carl Avery Smith.[1][2][3] His father, who was a veteran of the U.S. Navy, died in 2007.[4] His mother is his business manager.[5][6] Music careerSmith started his musical endeavors in 1999, but did not release an album for three years.[3][7] He released Kuntry Kitchen with Yayoda Records in 2002.[9] Then, he released another album with Yayoda in 2007 entitled The True South.[7][9] His last self-released album was 2018's Special Reserve[9]{{failed verification|date=February 2018}} In 2010, his homemade music video "Kickin' It in Tennessee" went viral, garnering over five million views on YouTube.[3][8] He released two EPs with Warner Bros. Records that were 2012's Grass Roots and 2013's Backwoods Whiskey.[3][9] Smith's major-label debut came out in 2014, entitled Kuntry Livin'.[7][9] Musical styleAccording to Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, Big Smo is one of the foremost grassroots artists in a style known as rural rap or hick-hop, "which blends rural, Country themes and melodies with some rap elements (production and vocal delivery)".[9] AllMusic's Steve Legget commented that Big Smo "combines country themes and attitudes with rap and hip-hop in a style that prompted one reviewer to note 'If Kid Rock and Run–D.M.C. had a love child, he would be named Big Smo,' although combining Hank Williams Jr. with Nappy Roots might strike a bit closer."[3] Rolling Stone described Big Smo as sounding like "If Run–D.M.C.'s 'Walk This Way' stomped out of Queens and ended up in the rural south."[10] The music on Kuntry Livin was described as spinning "rap rhymes about working-class values over hard-rock riffs."[11] Other mediaSmith was the principal subject of an eponymously titled television series, Big Smo. The program, about his life and music by A&E, debuted in June 2014.[12] He appeared in one episode, "Empty Bottles Full Cans", of the Spike TV series Bar Rescue.[13] Smo's life is featured in episode one, "Kuntry Livin", of CarbonTV's original series Heartlandia, showing him shooting guns, cooking, and making music.[14] Personal lifeSmith lives on his family farm, the "Kuntry Ranch", in Unionville, Tennessee.[15] DiscographyStudio albums
