SmokeTheRapper | “D A N C E,” A Mysterious, Positive Vibe

SmokeTheRapper brings an unexpected, unique wave of electricity to Rap Fiesta‘s platform with his latest single, “D A N C E.” The three-minute track features an eclectic beat and simple positive, uplifting messages. Overall, “D A N C E” is one way SmokeTheRapper inspires people to be positive and unapologetically themselves. 

The Tallahassee, Florida rapper was inspired to create “D A N C E” from his past. SmokeTheRapper recalls dancing freely in the house to EDM as a child. And he aims to capture that sensation in his latest single. 

I been making for about 15+ years, but I didn’t start taking it seriously until I was 17, SmokeTheRapper, regarding his time in the music game.

Although “D A N C E” isn’t a traditional EDM song as you’d expect, SmokeTheRapper still stirs up something in your soul that inspires you to move your body. On top of that, SmokeTheRapper continuously encourages movement throughout the track with his vocals. 

That said, you can hear the rising rapper repeat simple phrases like “dance” and “groove” during the track. While these are the only one-word phrases spoken during the song, the timing of the lyrics is something magical. 

Additionally, the vocals incorporate an echoey effect that subtly ring through your ears as the mesmerizing beat plays. Speaking of the beat, “D A N C E” highlights a creative aesthetic unlike what you have heard before. 

Produced by Ognardoobeats, “D A N C E” feels like a more relaxed version of an EDM track. There are upbeat elements and moments where you can feel the song’s energy rising within you. But what makes the track unique are the undertones that carry a more laidback, chill feel.

The precise feeling is challenging to describe in words, so we recommend experiencing it for yourself. Overall, “D A N C E” is a unique creation due to the complex format of the rhythm and SmokeTheRapper’s brief yet commanding appearance. 

One detail SmokeTheRapper focuses on while creating anything is spreading positivity. And this even includes the meaning behind his stage name. 

After the artist’s grandmother passed away from lung cancer, SmokeTheRapper realized he wanted to take something usually negative and change it up and reflect something positive. 

I started to realize that when I heard the word ‘smoke,’ it was always negative, SmokeTheRapper.

Now, the rapper wants to use both his stage name and music to set an example for others, showing that you can always change something negative to a positive. 

…when people hear ‘smoke’ now they think of the person that’s spreading positive impact, SmokeTheRapper.
