Haynie
Haynie O’Neal Smith was born on June 4th 1984. Haynie grew up in a poverty area in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with his mother and two older sisters. His father, Haynie Smith Sr. passed away when he was Twenty-Seven, and when Haynie Jr. was only four years old. Haynie was introduced to music by his parents and discovered his passion for hip hop music, at the age of nine. By the age thirteen, Haynie started writing music with his child hood friend William Stokes. He was musically influenced by Michael Jackson, because of his talent and stage presence, Tupac, because he discussed political issues in his music, Master P, due to his business sense, and Bone Thugs N Harmony, because of how they harmonize music. In 2000, Haynie formed a duo with William called G-field. G-field, recorded their first demo song in the studio “You Can Be Cared for”. Haynie attended school in Milwaukee, graduating from Washington High School at age seventeen in 2002. Following High School Haynie decided to take a break from college due to unknown major. In 2003, Haynie purchased his first Drum Machine, “DR-5”. G-field then became a trio group. In 2004, Haynie furthered his education by majoring in Business Management at Milwaukee Area Technical College. The group contacted SEB Studios, in Milwaukee. Later, they released their first album G-field: “Poor Man’s Dream”, locally to test their music skills Haynie supplied 97% of production for the album, from his DR-5. After being turned down by record labels and radio programmers, G-field went back to its original format of a duo group. Haynie researched the music industry and continued to further his education in Business Management at Concordia University of Wisconsin. Haynie later became a proud parent of a set of twins. After Haynie received a degree in business, He continued to work on music with his childhood friend. He decided to get production and recording lessons from SEB Studios. Haynie and Will reformed the group G-field, naming it “Generations Field”. While Haynie was working on an album with his partner, He analyzed the music industry. He noticed that it would be a one in a billion chance to get signed by a record label. Haynie intrepid the knowledge he gained in College and from SEB Studios. He formed a small independent record label in Milwaukee, WI called Emerging Music Entertainment. Generations Field later released the album “Live from Poverty Hills”, under the new formed record label. Haynie produced 98% of the album with more production equipment. With more success from radio programmers, fans, and, retail distribution Emerging Music became a home for Generations Field. Haynie is currently networking, researching, producing, writing, and managing Emerging Music Entertainment, to get the Midwest record label to its full success in the music industry. Haynie was the featured artist on the front cover of independent Hip Hop magazine Swiss Money Entertainment in the March 2011 issue. Haynie’s first solo album “Bloodline of a Real” is set to be released in the summer/fall of 2011. "Haynie" is proudly presented by Valley of the STARZ LLC |

POVERTY HILLS: Reviewed by Richard Henderson of Bryan Farrish Radio Promotion Milwaukee duo Generations Field is a hard-hitting lyrical machine that is reinventing southern style rap in 2010. Influenced heavily by southern rap juggernauts like UGK and Three Six Mafia, Generations Field brings a no holds barred approach to their lyrics, flow and beats in order to create a true street rap album. Entitled “Live From Poverty Hills,” the album focuses primarily on the struggles that come with life in the ghetto. Fans of what has become known as the “Dirty South” style of hip-hop would do well to keep this group on their radar, Generations Field are likely to break into the scene in a big way and may well be giving the likes of Project Pat and Bun-B a run for their money very soon. 1. “In My City” – “We street tested and ghetto approved” are both the first words of this song and the spirit behind Generations Field’s entire album. A perfectly placed opening song, “In My City” is both engaging for true fans of rap and catchy for the average radio listener. Featuring a southern beat complete with piano and rolling snare samples, the flow of the verses fit cohesively with the chanting hook and bridge. This song is sure to have rooms full of people chanting, “We don’t play by the rules, we just do what we do. 4. “Another Bad Club Song” is a critique of popular or radio music today, declaring that club singles generate money but are slowly killing hip-hop and the “game” of becoming a rap superstar. Featuring a creative hook that is both catchy and direct to the spirit of the lyrics, Generations Field finds a way of creating an easy listen while staying true to their message of promoting those who “rap from the heart.” 10. “Poverty Hills” stands out on Generations Field’s album as the singular “West Coast” track on the album. From the laid back beat to the colorful female hook that resembles something the likes of Snoop Dogg would be rapping over, Generations Field clearly takes a break from the more intense feel of the rest of the album to convey their life in “Poverty Hills” in true California fashion. In a world where hip-hop artists primarily stick to the style of their location, it is refreshing to see a west coast style song on a primarily southern rap album. |

SWISS MONEY ENT. EXCLISSIVE INTERVIEW WITH HAYNIE AKA MANOPOLY SM: So tell the world about yourself. Haynie: Well, my name is Haynie I am the CEO of Emerging Music Entertainment, LLC. I am part of the duo group Generations Field and also a solo artist. I’m currently working on promoting my first solo album called “Bloodline of A Real….” SM: Those are very unique names how and why u came up with those titles? Haynie: I’m all about challenge. So I wanted to challenge myself with coming up with a record company name when I decided to establish in 2006. To me, it’s easy to come up with a title. I didn’t want to just slap an unprofessional sounding name on my company and say here it is... DEAD BODY RECORDS, like some people do. It doesn’t work like that with me. I was looking for a brand, identity, a trademark, something that can identify my rise in the music industry. Emerging Music Entertainment is the best fit. SM: That’s interesting! I can relate to what you’re saying. So talk a little bit more about Generations Field. Who is part of that group? Haynie: Generations is me and Papa Will as individuals and Field is our land of opportunity. We’ve been doing this seriously for 7 years. Our first album called Poor Man’s Dream we released locally in late 2004. I produced most of the album; it was pretty much to test the waters in the industry. In 2008-09 we came with knowledge and substance to our music. We released our next album called “live From Poverty Hills” which was a success. I produced 90% of that album. It was and is still sold at best buy stores and online. We’ve sold over 6,000 copies according to soundscan. It was basically our testimony to the world, from all of the tribulations we went through making that album. It’s still relevant years later. We talked about being in a impoverish city. At the time a lot of people weren’t listening. They thought it was a mind set. Years later when the news reported the statistics of our city being the number 4 in the country for impoverish cities. They started to worry. So me and Will just sat back and said, we told ya’ll that we were in Poverty hills, which is the opposite of Beverly Hills years ago. SM: So what can we expect from your solo album, as far as production, features, and substance? Haynie: Pretty much you’re getting to know my personality. Everything is authentic from the beginning to the end. That’s why I named it Bloodline of a Real. I believe people will love it. I gave up my control of production and mixing. In the past I had that control, but with this one I reached out to a few people that I believed in and who believed in me, that will help me emerge. I have production from B. Justice, Magicfingers, D. Miller, T-RHYTHM, and more. I have Papa Will on my first single called Better Talk about Him, produced by B. Justice, which we’ve did a video to. Its available now on www.youtube.com , Directed by Yellow girl, I also have a special feature from C-murder. That track is called like a beast!SM: WOOO... STOP... WAIT! How did u get C-Murder on your album? Haynie: Well, I’ve already collaborated with his cousin D. Miller Aka Young Trump production wise 3 years ago. I was trying to get in touch with him then. I later contacted a staff at Tru Records, got forward to C-murder, and C –murder responded back to me. We discussed the business and later made it happen. That was a Tru blessing. I thank him for that, because I looked up to him growing up. Then from C-Murder, I hooked up with the hottest new age of the south producer, his producer T-RHYTHM he mixed, edit and mastered all tracks. As well as produced. It’s like a blessing chain, for real. I’m just happy they believed in me. I’m very thankfulSM: It seems like Emerging Music Is living up to its name!Haynie: Of course! All we need is faith in our self’s and faith in god, Nothing else. This is only the beginning of the goal. SM: what other goal do you have besides music? Haynie: To be the best father I can to my twins this is a first. I want to raise them to greatness out of this wicked land. I want to become a community leader, by funding and finding ways to get people out of poverty. I don’t care if I only got 3% out, it’s still an accomplishment, I would like to decrease teen peer pressure by starting some type of teen organization like we had when we were kids, also I want to keep a part of helping the mentally, challenged. SM: Damn... You need to be our Governor...LoL Haynie: LOL... That’s not my slice of cake...lol I just want to play my role in life that I have in heart before I leave this earth. It starts with my faith and voice. SM: that’s real. Not a lot of artists talk about important things like that. That’s what makes you so different. So when can we expect your album to come out? Haynie: I’m hoping for the mid- summer of this year. SM: After that what’s next for Emerging music? Haynie: More hard work and dedication, Papa Will’s album The Big Feast, and another Generations Field Album. SM: Any shout outs or anything you want the world to know? Haynie: Special shout out to everybody who believes in me |
