Young Smoke is a Canadian rapper from Toronto, Ontario. Emerging from the city's prominent Regent Park neighbourhood, His immediate older brother was Jahvante Smart, famously known as Smoke Dawg, he is widely recognized as a core member of the Toronto hip hop collective Halal Gang and the Toronto supergroup Full Circle. He officially began his musical career in late 2018 following the tragic passing of his older brother and prominent Toronto rap star, Smoke Dawg. Young Smoke grew up in Regent Park, a downtown neighbourhood in Toronto. He was raised in a large family alongside eight siblings, which included six boys and three girls. 2.At just 18, Young Smoke a.k.a. Chicago’s David Davis has carved out an idiosyncratic and very listenable niche within footwork. Producing from a young age and coming with an intentional conceptual angle, the music on 'Space Zone' carries all the hallmarks and framework of classic footwork -heavy bass and 160bpm rhythms- but with a lightness of touch and the conceptual abstraction of space themes. Where older producers reference space through typically sampling the spacey funk of the 70’s era to repetitive and aggressive effect, Young Smoke's music uses self-made samples from his arsenal of software synthesisers. The result has an aquatic atmosphere that engages the listener's imagination and hints at narratives behind the music. Also, rarely for footwork, he’s not afraid to inject his tracks with overt melodies
