Local musician and producer, Osbert Smith aka Good Stuff, is releasing a new album with a Florida flavour titled Mind Games.

Recently retired Mr. Smith was born in Belize but has spent the past 28 years living in the Cayman Islands.

“I live here but I’m based in Florida where I am concentrating on recording and producing my music. Being based in Florida has resulted in a certain type of flavoUr on this new production.

“My stage name Good Stuff comes from the feedback of the fans saying my music is “good stuff”, which then became a catch phrase.

Music has always been a hobby of Mr. Smith’s and he was introduced to the industry in the late 80’s when he started songwriting.

“I released my first CD called Passion in 2000 and it was well received locally. 95% of the album sold out and the other 5% I gave to family and friends.” said Mr. Smith.

“In 2004, about three weeks after Hurricane Ivan I released a local hit single called ‘Ivan’s Fury,’” said Mr. Smith

Good Stuff doesn’t play any musical instruments on the album but sings, raps, writes and produces his own music.

“The title Mind Games came about because lyrically many songs on the album are meant to play on the mind and its interpretation of the listener.”

“It is scheduled for official release on December 5th and I want to leave behind a demand for it.”

Songwriter and producer, Good Stuff, wanted to put out an album for his supportive friends and fans. He wants the music to act as an escape, which helps take them away from everyday life situations.

“The whole idea is to have friends and fans out there enjoy listening to something fresh and new, which is a welcoming breath of fresh air from the stress of life’s experiences that we face everyday.”

This album shows the versatility of Good Stuff’s abilities as a new artist and encompasses an eclectic combination of driving hard beats and slow jams.

The remake of the song Have you Seen Her by The Chi Lites has an upbeat feel and lyrically expresses love and pain.

Ivan’s fury on the Coolie Dance Riddim gives a comical but factual view on the damage Hurricane Ivan created.

The combination of the many genres included, is a good listen for the all-round music lover at heart.
