Smoke and Mirrors (O.C. album)

Smoke and Mirrors is the fifth album by rapper O.C. of the D.I.T.C. crew and the second album he released in 2005.

The album features no guest appearances at all and is fully produced by the relatively unknown Mike Loe from The Bronx (previously worked with Lord Finesse, Ill Biskits, CL Smooth and others) except for the track "I'm Da Boss" which is guest-produced by The Fyre Department (another rather unknown producer). In the album OC reflects on himself, his family, broken love and much on the workings and shadiness in the music business; "Behind all the glitz and hype lies the reality of the business, superficially, empty promises, bootlicking and soul-selling" is written in the booklet.
