NEWS: Perth emcee Smiley drops new single Looking Glass (feat Swollen Members)

Anything you need to know about Smiley you can find out from his lyrics. The Perth emcee has always let his music do the talking; communicating in crystal clear, brutally honest terms. From his philosophies to his politics – from how he feels about cops, to how he feels about the community – it’s all there. In a world first collaboration between an Australian hip hop artist and Canada’s legendary Swollen Members, Smiley has dropped the first taste of his upcoming album with the incredible new single, Looking Glass.

Produced by multi platinum, multi Juno Award winner Rob The Viking, Looking Glass is a near perfect collision of talents. Accompanied by a video directed by Jordan Martin, nothing has been spared in giving this colossal artistic partnership the spotlight it deserves. The first track from Smiley since 2012’s Imagine (feat The Long March), Looking Glass has been long-awaited by fans, and their patience has been rewarded.

Colliding skill and tenacity, Smiley has always been a legit contender. With the staggering array of tricks in his bag, the gifted emcee has stepped up to take what’s his. Proudly carrying the torch passed down from exalted artists like Downsyde and late icon Hunter, Smiley is the next heir to the throne in Perth’s hip hop lineage – a challenge he has risen to with gusto. Brash, free-thinking and relatable, Smiley typifies the wave of new artists that are currently ushering in an exciting new era of the genre.
