I sound good with a good voice for the best I look like I'm Tara but I'm called
a slimy like the hoof like mr. clean before smoke purp would make his pledge
for the 2017 double XL freshmen lists very versatile you know I could do I
could sing I could rap knocking song write all that before smoke perp got a
shout out from little Yanni via Twitter have one of his songs played by Kevin
gates via Instagram and we get to hang out with gucci mane in real life smoked
perf would perform at South by Southwest the no jumper tour and rolling loud we
up in Miami and having a little interest in working up the ladder to get some
kind of normal gig smoke purp originally tried to make it as a producer under the
Twitter moniker 808 but found little success things changed around for them
drastically when he decided to start rapping over his own beats now with his
new Twitter handle smoke perk and that's with two piece where did he come up with
the idea for this name well there's a few different reasons
my favorite rapper was cheap peep so you know a smoke / cheap Keith he wasn't
that fair a rapper at the moment they just call me that cause I already smoked
growing up best house with little pump the two exploded onto the scene in 2016
and smoke purp went from a senior in high school - Ettore rapper making his
dreams come true not enough to pick up a regular ass boring job just to get paid
what's going on guys - Mike McCready documenting the life and career of smoke
perk prior Fame here for you on before they're famous now just last week we did
a video a little pup you guys seem to enjoy it so be sure to let me know in
the comments down below who you want me to document next
smoke purp aka little water was born on May 15th in 1997 in Chicago Illinois
we actually have an exclusive in this video little perk shared with me his
birthday it's Omar penne era I found that out by asking him via Twitter which
is a much more polite way to fight things out as for little pump what we
learned his name after some punk stole his backpack and let's hope that doesn't
happen again because the dude in that video really gives me the creeps
his mother is of Hispanic descent and his dad although born in America
well he's of mixed ethnicity his family relocated from Chicago to South Florida
Dade County when he was three or four it's a nice place but it's not the
nicest place you know just like everywhere you got the hoods and you got
you got a gang banging violence and stuff like that
no really have no idea why they chose to make the sudden move but perhaps it had
something to do with this theft he pulled off when he was just 2 years old
getting was a joke when speaking with smoke / via Twitter he told me I like
being a mystery I don't even know who I am myself yet I'm just exploring the
world and finding myself he really started getting into music listening to
Chief Keef it feels like he paved the path for other ambitious artists looking
to make a name for themselves on the row he also cites in various interviews
other artists including little Wayne during his middle school years and he's
big fan of Gucci Bain and especially young thug missin language there's
nothing stupid of rude ego I know the very first rap song he remembers
listening to was 50 cent and Lloyd Banks is on fire who's always in trouble at
school getting suspended for fighting another bad behavior he took an interest
in skateboarding but it was music that really piqued his interests initially he
had no plans of ever becoming a rapper and set his sights on working behind the
scenes as a producer he got to work on FL Studio using YouTube tutorials to
figure it all out he had no microphone instead of
recording songs on headphone brob was his beats weren't bringing him
the attention he was looking for no one liked him
I started off producing but nobody really wanted to use my beats because
they sucked ass so I just used on my beat I'd use them
myself there was one other interest spoke perfect up around this time an
interest in drugs he started smoking weed in the eighth grade and pop xanax
for the first time at 16 he also got detained for Xanax possession the same
year after being pulled over without a license oh no I was gonna say damn he
dabbled with drinking alcohol a couple times but never took a liking to it
although if you do cruise through his Instagram account he has no problem with
leading a friend named little ominous introduced smoke purp to another Miami
native three years his junior Batman well you know as little puffs pumpkin
smoke a lot of weed for a kid his age and his weight class on top of that he
had an inclination for getting into trouble he was notorious for having
started a school riot where someone was stabbed you can find out more about that
and who's before their famous video he started a riot they closed the whole
school knows how the composition is niggas gonna stab this shit together the
two hit it off smoking weed and getting into a bit of trouble
smoke purp was enrolled at north gardens where there were pat downs at security
checkpoints this place is known as an opportunity school which is a really
fancy name for where they send the bad kids
he had dabbled with selling weed but it wasn't exactly a strong suit but I never
really liked sold weed I just robbed niggas for weed yes there were some
benefits to his schooling he learned to play the piano a little bit then he
learned to engineer music write music and produce there was even a TV
production class which taught him how to film and edit videos he was a popular
kid but he was tired of waking up and going to classes he didn't care for so
he continued to focus more and more on his music and while he was focused on a
future that would pay the bills and then stop becoming a big star I dropped out
like last year and now I'm a rapper you found me I was a producer first I sucked
at producing so I started rapping play now spoke per pip and rhyming over his
own beats as a means to move his music and he was hang
little pump so we encouraged him to do the same smoke also had a vine account
around this time and even clock in a regular thousand views per post his
first song on soundcloud was an instrumental which has since been
deleted the first song to take off for him with samsung jumping and he followed
it up with ski mask work hard six rings and no smoke all receiving millions of
streams on soundcloud simultaneously his work with little pomp will it had begun
gaining traction and together the two boys became local legend it's inside
with Alamo Records he's been touring all over the nation and he dropped his
mixtape dead star just recently be sure to check it out as for the rest of the
