‘Surviving’ is the latest single to come from young East London rapper SmoothVee who uses this track to talk about the adversities he has faced in the past two years. ‘Surviving’ is the final product of various versions of the track, and once the beat was finalised, the lyrics and melody flowed freely.
Influenced by grime from a young age, SmoothVee started rapping as a child. Fusing rap and Hip Hop with dancehall, R&B and soul music, his music is heavily influenced by his musical upbringing and surroundings. Being around the pioneers of grime from a young age, SmoothVee’s musical aspirations were enhanced by their success, as he creates music that’s representative of his reality.
‘Surviving’ is now available on all major streaming platforms.
