SMILEZ Shares New Single ‘Coffee Queen’

Texas-based breakout rapper SMILEZ shares his brand new single Coffee Queen, the latest single to be taken from his debut album Ur in My World, which is out now. 

 

Coffee Queen fuses the rapper's affinity for punk and hip-hop, pairing hardcore punk power chords over a trap beat. I am really enjoying his confident and passionate vocal delivery that finds him singing about his longing for control in a nightmare relationship that keeps him painfully crawling back for more. I am really enjoying the soaring guitars, punchy drums and how the song is packed with energy and confidence. 

 

Its accompanying self-directed music video beautifully embodies the emotional distance and scarcity of SMILEZ's relationship with his coffee queen. Throughout the video, we get clips of his queen, dressed in an equally vibrant orange to his ever-yellow glow—but somehow, she's always evasive, alone, or dissolving away.
