Inspired by his life experiences growing up in a working class, single-parent household, Che “Rhymefest” Smith has carved out a life in art, music and social activism, always using his music career as a platform from which to stimulate social change. For nearly a decade, Che has been professionally writing and producing music and has since expanded not only his craft, but his sense of responsibility for the community that he calls home and for impoverished, underrepresented communities throughout the nation.
In 2005, Che won a Grammy Award for “Jesus Walks”, which he co-wrote with friend Kanye West. He quickly used that notoriety to draw attention to critical issues that confront his community. He lent his services to The Happiness Club, helping to develop the musical talents of at-risk youth in Chicago’s inner-city. As a vocal proponent of bringing jobs to struggling communities, Che has worked with business leaders to attract new retail to underserved neighborhoods. He has supported The Woodlawn Organization, Cabrini Connections and other neighborhood organizations throughout Chicago. He has cleaned up vacant lots throughout the city helping to improve neighborhoods block-by-block.
