S-line Digital Media Entertainment, LLC was established in 2014 by James (OG Smiley) Soil, the name S-Line comes from the neighborhood where he grew up in Venice, CA. Venice was once known as the ghetto by the sea or the "servants zone" by founder Abbot Kinney and one of the few places within a mile of the California coastline where blacks could own property. In the early 70's gangs began to rise in Los Angeles, The Venice Shore Line Crips were born and became a notorious violent street gang that preyed on rivals and any other gangs that came to Venice beach, yes Smiley was part of that activity. The Shore Line Crips were known in such a negative way he named his Company S-Line Digital Media Entertainment, LLC after his hood and uses the name now in a more positive light and to show Venice,CA in a different lifestyle.  

​

        Smiley did a stint in the U.S. Navy after that he was awarded a football athletic scholarship from Northwest Missouri State University where he graduated with a degree in Broadcasting/ Mass Communication. After working in Hollywood for 5 years behind the scenes on commercials, music videos and movies Smiley moved to Atlanta to work with his cousin Kevin Clark at his recording studio as a Studio Manager where he met and worked with some of the top Rappers, Producers, Djs and Club promoters in Atlanta. The studio closed after 10 years, his cousin went on to Manage Lil Scrappy and was responsible for getting him on Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta.
