Every now and again you find a diamond in the rough. This diamond is in the form of an outstanding young MC from Richmond, VA. that goes by the name Fundamental, (Real name Matthew Smith). There is nothing rough about this guy. He reminds me of VCU Basketball player Larry Sanders, young, full of talent and about to take the World over. Is Rap & Hip Hop or even soul for that matter dead in Richmond? Not even close. Fundamental is carrying the torch and I could not be happier. I cannot stop listening to his Myspace page.
I am a little down on rap music of late because where have all the great story telling MCs gone? These club rappers outta RVA these days just isn’t cracking it. The same word or verse repeated 75 times in a row doesn’t do it for me. Just like the noise sound groups with their ham-radio noise pedals and blow dryers. Rhyming with a distinct voice is not easy. Everyone sounds the same these days, but Fundamental sounds like science. - Sidetrackrecords.com

Bio
My music is different from your typical rap song you hear on the radio nowadays. its positive, clean, and has substance. My influences are kanye west, lupe fiasco, mos def, all real hip hop with a message. Whats sets me apart is my talent, creativity, desire to succeed, and work ethic. I'm 18 now, when i was in school i was going down the wrong path. I turned my life around, and music helped me express myself in a positive way, and ever since I realized i was really good at writing, rapping, and performing...It just took off from there
