New York rapper Smoke DZA has come through clutch on a new music Friday with his much-needed Mood Swings album. Just days after teasing the project’s existence, the Kush God’s latest studio project is officially streaming to the masses and comes packed with heat.

Smoke DZA’s new Real Bad Man project Mood Swings is here

DZA made sure to come correct on his newest project with help from producer Real Bad Man - who actually recently put out his Real Bad Boldy album alongside Detroit’s own Boldy James. The seven track project is completely produced by Bad Man with guest spots courtesy of artists like Remy Banks and Nym Lo.

“Mood Swings came about in a very natural way.  I’d been a fan of Smoke for a minute and wanted to work with him.  I had some tracks in mind that I thought he’d sound great over, he’s got such a distinct vocal tone that I wanted the beats to compliment that tone sonically” Real Bad Man lamented.  “I sent over beats and we started recording right away.  I wanted this project to be quintessential Smoke DZA, just through my lens.”

In addition to Real Bad Man weighing in, DZA also spoke on the project coming together.

“I was going through a lot of different emotions during the pandemic.  Being legally able to sell weed on the west coast was inspiring” Smoke DZA confessed. “Badman and I created this project during that, and because his beats were so dope, Mood Swings became a perfect title for the project. 

The new ‘Casualties’ music video hits hard, too

It’s bigger than just a new album. To celebrate the project’s rollout, Kush God has also hit the green light on dropping his new ‘Casualties’ music video.
