When you meet Raleigh Rapper Carldrelius SuperSpitz, you realize right away that being an artist from the Tarheel state really means something him. "This is all for Carolina. We want to show people what we're all about and unite. I'm talking all the races," said the Spitz, who I interviewed during the production of his latest music video for his hit song Sushi, a track you can find on Sound Cloud.
"Sushi is a song that is about little bit more than just the food," Spitz says with a smile. He came up with the song when his good friend Andrei Dood, a chef in Raleigh told Spitz he should write a song about Sushi.
"I invited him over for Sushi one day and I said Spitz, you got to write a song about Sushi. So we got a beat and he started saying Sushi. I said, come on Spitz you have to say something more than Sushi.
So I gave him a little bit of this green stuff we call Wasabi. He spit that out beccause it was hot. Then I gave him Sriracha and he was like what in the world and he spit that out too. So that's how the lyrics were born," Dood said with a laugh.
Sushi has become a hit in North Carolina across social media platforms and the NC Hip Hop scene."It's just a fun song with a great beat." said Spitz
Spitz grew up in some of Raleigh's tough neighborhoods during his early years but his Mom eventually moved him to Fuquay Varina, NC to get away from the street life. It's a decision he says he appreciates. " I was raised with gardens, pigs and chickens but it actually made a better person so I appreciate her for that," said Spitz.
Spitz says he's a had a lot of help from mentors across the Hip Hop spectrum in Raleigh including Frank Dobson AKA "Big Delph", the owner of Smoking Grooves where the video was being shot. "Big Delph is the man. He gives us a venue to perform our craft and really sharpen our skills in all facets. Without him we couldn't have made this video happen," said Spitz.
Big Delph, an artist himself, knows how important Smokin' Grooves is to the Hip Hop Community in Raleigh. "I look at it as we are part of the big picture of the music industry. If we all come together then we can bring the whole music industry here to North Carolina because the most talented artist I've ever seen are here in Raleigh and Durham or course Charlotte also," said Big Delph.
Riding in Spitz's corner is adviser Sergio Fitzhugh Huff II. Fitzhugh Huff II has been in the entertainment business for more than 30 years. He says working with Spitz is something he really enjoys. "I'm here to mentor and give advise and help him advance in his career. Artists need someone in their corner especially when they're first coming up, I've seen a lot in this industry and I'm here to share my knowledge" said Fitzhugh Huff II.

As for SuperSpitz, he says he's just getting started. And you'll be hearing from him for years to come. "I want people to say: Look what they're accomplishing in North Carolina and check them out. From there you'll see the North Carolina Hip Hop Community grow. That's my goal, it's to help create an industry in our state," said SuperSpitz.
With his talent, enthusiasm and songs that are hot like Sushi, there's no doubt this is just the beginning for Spitz and the North Carolina Hip Hop Community.
