SmokeDawwg
Ashantii Phillips, preferably known as SmokeDawwg, is what we call a jack of all trades. Not only can he make his flow match just about any beat, but he's also naturally talented in all things music. Which shouldn't be a surprise considering his deep-seated love for it. He has never known a time before music and has always been passionate about it since birth. However, he will never forget the first artist he truly felt inspiration from, MC Skatcat. That was the first album he'd ever bought. His pursuit of music and crafting his form of expression was decided purely because he loved it. His style is best described as a wild card; you never know what kind of style and beats you'll get when tuning in to his songs, but they all have an underlining feel of unfiltered raw energy.
What makes his music original, aside from his ability to rap and sing to any genre that piques his interest, is the fact that he's an amazing lyricist. Who can not only keep the flow but also add finesse to the way he delivers his words to keep the audience enraptured. With a musical style that is so versatile, it can fit any mood or function while still being indistinctly his alone.
The first showcase of his talents was in Denver, Colorado at a venue called Roxy, while his most recent performance was in January '23 at a bar and grill by the name of Jumbos. SmokeDawwg thrives to work, create, and perform his next EP to be released by summer '23 will be called B.O.N. (Better Off Neglected). And, if you can't wait until then to get ahold of his music you can find him on all major streaming platforms.
