We had the good fortune of connecting with Smoke Aka Babyboi and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Smoke, why did you pursue a creative career?
To express myself, I always would keep how I really felt bottled up inside and my way to cope was always making music. I make music that makes people forget there problems.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Making music always been a passion of mine, Ive always made music for people that wanna forget about they problems. in music Im always in my lab tryna come wit a unique sound or and be different from other artist of course it’s always going to be inspirations, and you can’t go anywhere in the world without someone trying to compare you to another artist. But I learned just to be myself a come how I want to come on my music, you either gon fuck with me or your not I don’t care.
I want the world to about my story soon , rather than my story, I wanna bring a message. Never let anyone tell you can’t do something no matter what it is. What you want do in life is what you want to do other people try to sabotage that because they don’t know what they want to do and they want you to be in the same boat with them. Fuck them and fuck that, whatever you wanna do, do it, be yourself, and be relentless

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I’m new to Atlanta so I think honestly if it was a homeboy, we probably would spend most of the time at the Rec center playing basketball and after probably run over to chipotle or Popeyes and call it day, an do that all week.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
