smokedope2016 is a SoundCloud-era rap artist whose melodic, lo-fi aesthetic found an audience in the wave of independent rap that defined the mid-to-late 2010s streaming underground. His recordings carry the DIY energy that characterized the generation of artists who built fanbases through direct-to-platform releases before the major-label infrastructure caught up with what they were doing.
The Comedown Tour brings that catalog into the live setting — an audience for whom the music has the specific emotional weight of something that felt personal before it found a larger room. Atlanta, June 25.
