UK hip-hop lyricist and Warner Music signee Smiler presents his new mixtape.
‘All I Know’ includes ‘Delorean’ – his collaboration with Wretch 32, which has received solid support from BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra and Spender, which features vocals from Lana Del Rey.
You can download the mixtape for free from his official website.
Produced by Balistiq, who also produced her debut single ‘Go’, Delilah recently debuted this track on BBC Radio 1Xtra as a part of their Hot 20 for 2012 list.
Born Simon Smith and hailing from Derby, Youngman has been described by the Guardian as “… the male Katy B” and “the saviour of pop music” by BBC Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac. With his mix of smooth vocals over dubstep beats, he has also drawn some comparisons to one Craig David.
Signed to the Digital Soundboy label, his first single ‘Who Knows?‘ is produced by dubstep royalty Skream, and has already received early radio support from BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra.
