“Maddoxx”
The streets are talking: “Maddoxx” is one of the hottest emcees in the Central Valley right now, holding down it down on his radio station "The Real Talk Show”. Johnny Ray Smith II is an eighties baby born in the Bay Area, Berkeley, CA, attended Castlemont High (Oakland, ca) before transferring to Lincoln High (Stockton, CA.) Maddoxx currently resides in Modesto, CA he began his music c
areer back in 2000 Via Myspace.

Keep a close eye on what current styles of hip hop. He feels that the state of hip-hop to trendy! People are not soaking in the true messages that artist are trying to pass. Listeners are confusing the fake with the real. He thinks the industry needs unity. No one keeps it real with one another anymore. I think the artists need to make it more about the fans again. Answer questions asked by the fans, stream live to let your followers know your real. I think the industry lacks intimacy, and the artist need to be more relatable. He has been working with veteran producers like Work Dirty and Droop-E from Sick Wid It Records. 3rd Gen out of San Diego and Psydafekt out of San Jose along with tracks of his own. With a needed buzz to boost more fans, his new single “Rocket to the Moon” and upcoming projects, “Dear Annie” remix will be released available for free download.
