Remember To Smile is a new 13-track project from Baltimore, Maryland representative Rickie Jacobs, who holds it down for his city like no other.

Beats, Prime Keyz & Rosewood, Trakksounds and Xenia Ghali.
From Rickie himself, as told to Christopher Iqal of Examiner: "Like every human being, I've had my ups and downs: losing my mother, going from house to house; the way I dealt with these things showed me who I was as a man. Then to have my son, with no job and no money, I just instantly became a stronger person because, at the end of the day, none of that stuff even matters, and that's what the title represents. No matter what's going on in your life, you have to remember a lot of people lost theirs, and you can't take things for granted, you know? Appreciate the things that bring joy to you and your loved ones. It's a powerful message that will stick with you every time you hear it."
