Smiley first made a name for himself with a style that quickly divided hip hop fans, but he has continued to put in the work and establish himself as a consistent hitmaker. His newest single, "Two Tone," shows a different side of his artistry by leaning into a darker, more hard edged sound. While his signature melodic approach remains a key part of the record, Smiley delivers much of the track with a deeper vocal tone that adds extra weight to the performance. Lyrically, he reflects on his success, celebrates how far he has come, and embraces the confidence that comes with his journey in the rap industry. It is an entertaining release that offers a fresh twist on his usual formula, giving longtime fans another reason to appreciate his continued evolution as an artist.

London and New York City come together on D Block Europe and French Montana’s latest single, “Fully Loaded,” continuing their previous collaborative relationship. French, Young Adz, and Dirtbike LB exchange verses at a fast pace over polished trap production, with their different deliveries balancing forceful statements and smoother, more laid back performances. The track does not introduce a completely new direction for either act, but their chemistry helps them make good use of its brief two minute runtime. More developed verses could have strengthened the song, though its lively energy remains intact. Given their history of working together, another collaboration in the near future would not be surprising.
