Smiley: The hard-hitting OVO heavyweight completely delivers with a repeat-worthy 'Understand' single

All things rap artist Smiley drops? I’m rocking with - super hard. So it’s no shocker the new ‘Understand’ tune demands your undivided attention and playlist considerations.

It’s pure fire and the perfect type of turn up anthem to help you bid farewell to October and get into demon time all 2024. Tap in.

Following up from ‘Spill The Tea,’ Smiley drops his second forthcoming single ‘Understand,’ from his forthcoming mixtape ’Don't Box Me In.’ The gritty track is packed with raw, unfiltered lyrics detailing his feelings of being misunderstood, criticized or constantly having to explain himself. In the hook ‘You wouldn’t understand nigga, you ain’t live thru it. You wouldn’t understand, I’m from a place you wouldn’t understand. I’m from a place you wouldn’t understand. Lost so many guys you wouldn’t understand,’ Smiley delivers an unapologetic message about his uncompromising history.

Releasing later this month, ‘Don’t Box Me In,’ is a 7-track project reminding the fans of Smiley's raw and catchy lyricism while showcasing a new style of energetic flow and sounds. Smiley states, “If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, if you’ve been grinding and constantly criticized or if you’ve had people doubt you, this album is for you. I got songs that hit heavy, lyrics that cut deep, and beats that are gonna make you feel something real. I put everything I’ve got into this and I’m proud of what came out of it. This one’s for the people who keep it 100, who stay true, and who are on this journey with me.”
