“I was in the hospital for six months. I’m still on the mend but through it all, I had music. It’s my passion, it is literally the reason I found the will to survive.

“2020 was a bad year but musically, I was inspired. There are so many people staying home more and more and seeking out new rappers. The pandemic has been good for me as an artist because new audiences are finding me. This album is something that is different than what’ out there and I know my dedicated fans and new audiences are going to eat it up,” finished SmooveLee.
