As of 2019, D Smoke gained global notoriety as champion and undisputed breakout star of Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow. Smoke showcased himself as a raw lyricist, classically-trained musician, and social activist with “something to say” — and nothing left to prove.

His Inglewood High EP, landed on the Top 10 Billboard Rap & Hip Hop Charts when it was released in October 2019. It reveals the beauty and frustration of today’s Inglewood through the eyes of his former students, while capturing the essence of the city that raised him.

On February 7, 2020, D Smoke released his first full-length album, Black Habits, boasting features from SiR, Snoop Dogg, Ari Lennox, and Jill Scott to critical acclaim.
