SmooVth, pronounced how you probably just read it to yourself, is quite literally what you experience with his pallet. A calm aura, consistently maturing, that is respectively reminiscent of an Evidence or Ka in terms of delivery. It’s refreshing – something like a deep inhale-exhale or the satisfaction from your first whiskey shot of the night. You know, that quiet inner relief? That’s SmooVth.

For background’s sake, if you missed his previous releases you can handle that now and thank us later. As of recently, the New York City native has been under The Winners umbrella, an exquisite collection of emcees, singers, and producers. No, we don’t use the word “exquisite” to fill in this paragraph mindlessly – they’re special. This is fly, luxurious hip-hop that strays rather far away from the in, mainstream sound of today. With elastic content and unpredictable lyrics, SmooVth and The Winners are easily one of the most exciting collective’s making noise in the underground. Do note that SmooVth also recently made his production debut alongside Hus Kingpin and yU, which you should check out and will certainly be hearing more of.

“Road Warriorz” features Milano and Sean Rosati on guest verses and Vic Grimes on the boards. We could go on for hours about these artists, but for now we will let the record do the talking if you’ve never heard them rhyme before. SmooVth is currently wrapping up his forthcoming ‘SS96J‘ (Smoothest Since ’96 Jay-Z) full length album, which is set to be released this spring. It is very much his most anticipated release to date, and features quite a few notable emcees – from Planet Asia to Hus Kingpin. Be prepared and enjoy this new leak while you wait. Peace and love.
