Smif-N-Wessun released their classic debut “Dah Shinin’” on Nervous Records on Jan. 10, 1995. Known for its hardcore lyrical content and gritty production, handled by Da Beatminerz’s production crew, the album was selected as one of The Source’s 100 best rap albums of all time.
In late 2005, they reactivated their original moniker and released “Smif-N-Wessun: Reloaded,” followed by “Smif-N-Wessun: The Album” two years later. In 2011, they collaborated with hip-hop legend Pete Rock on the album “Monumental,” with guest contributions from Styles P, Memphis Bleek, Raekwon, Bun B and others. In late 2013, they reverted to their reggae influences for the EP “Born and Raised” with contributions from Jahdan Blakkamoore, Junior Kelly, Junior Reid and others.
