Rising from humble mixtape beginnings to creative concept projects, collaborations, and artistic risks, Seattle-based rapper and producer Lil Smitty has made a name for himself in thinking outside the box and never shying away from true vulnerability. First breaking into the scene as a witty lyricist with an enthusiastic onstage presence, Smitty has spent recent years further honing his craft in both beat making and song writing. His “Marques” and “Lil Smitty” EPs in 2018 and 2019, respectively, showcased an extension of heart, passion, and fiery confidence that has connected Smitty to thousands of fans. He also teamed with vocalist Robyn Cook on 2019’s duo release “Upside Down”. Adding to his catalog was 2020’s “Chewing Gum When You’re Hungry” a six-track that dived deeper into the psyche of the artist and his ability to craft vivid story telling. Never forgetting his roots making beats on his iPhone, Smitty also continued to dive further into lush instrumentation and new instrumental territory. The project emphasized his abilities with sampling, and a keen ear for fresh sounds and inspirations. Building on the growing momentum, Smitty has since released a trio of show stopping and resonating singles, “MIKE VICK”, “Orange Mango”, and “DUO LINGO FREESTYLE”, the latter two collaborating with producer Cade Legat.
