The 808 Experiment: Vol 1 was SMKA’s first mixtape… ever! The project was created to showcases the diverse talent that exists around Atlanta over our production. We recorded 20+ talented up-and-coming artists from the Atlanta area, and released the compilation in December 2008.
We shot a music video for Caddys, which was also our first music video, featuring Aleon Craft, Grip Plyaz & TRIMM [Watch Video]
