Smoove’L drops official music video for new track “Freedom”

Brooklyn is home to some of hip-hop’s most well known artists, and Smoove’L hopes to become one of them. Growing up in the Park 44 neighborhood of Brooklyn, he found himself surrounded by rap music, and was quickly intrigued by it all. He focused most of his youth on basketball, in hopes of becoming a successful athlete. But, sometimes life takes its own course, as it did in Smoove’s life when he decided to go the musical route.

It didn’t take long for him to come to his own realization that he really had the talent within him. It wasn’t before long that he released his first song on SoundCloud in 2014, which brought in thousands of views. “Once I saw the popularity of my music grow, I knew I had to keep it going. I’m very versatile, and that is what makes me different from anyone else in my genre,” said Smoove’L. To his point, the rapper never feels the need to do something crazy in order to stand out. He makes it a point to be his most authentic self- in both life and through his music.

Paying homage to his roots, Smoove’L released his single, “Brooklyn” and after a huge wave of success from “Victoria’s Secret”, the rapper knew he had to make a huge splash. “The feedback from my new single is lit. After I got signed to my label, I knew I had to put more out. I’ve opened up for Chief Keef, and have done a couple shows in California,” said the artist. And, if you haven’t had a listen, “Brooklyn” is all about his love for the borough. He tells his own story through his own words, making him a master lyricist.

Up next, Smoove’L plans to release his next big project: “Hood 2 Hollywood”. By just the name of the mixtape, you can see that the artist will be as raw and real as they come. More than anything, the artist hopes to inspire others with the story of his come-up. And just like they say, if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
