Codeine Crazy — Future

Fatt Smaxk confessed in a Hot 107.9 interview that he struggles with happiness and communication, finding solace in music. The introspective, melodic honesty of Future's 'Codeine Crazy' resonates deeply with that emotional space.

Smaxk or Die — Fatt Smaxk

After the raw emotion of 'Butta B,' Fatt Smaxk showed his versatile flow on this breakout hit. Vivian Medithi of The FADER noted how Playboi Carti's remix for 'Smaxk or Die' practically fell into Smaxk's lap, elevating his profile.

Ghetto Angels — NoCap

Smaxk's sound draws comparisons to artists who master a melodic yet gritty delivery. NoCap's 'Ghetto Angels' provides the kind of soulful cues and reflective storytelling that informs Fatt Smaxk's evolving style.

THOMASVILLE DAYS — Fatt Smaxk
