Wealth & Motivate Rating:


How ironic that Smoke Dza new project is titled Not for Sale when in reality; this album should be sold to every real hip hop head who admire true lyricism. Smokey is the epitome of a true emcee. Smoke Dza opens the album with an lyrical arsenal, riding a smooth melodic track produced by BobGnarly.

“My skully game mean, I drop two and a quarter
Alexander Wang I copped for me and my daughter
She told me for her birthday she wanna go to Bora Bora
Hold up, some place she never seen on Dora the Explorer”
~Smoke Dza

The Mood


Fellow New York emcee Joey Bada$$ and Smoke Dza hops on a classic “boom bap” sound that brings nostalgia of hip hop’s golden era. Dza displays such a level of intelligence in his lyrical content while remaining smoother than Lion’s Breath sativa.

“It ain't for purchase gotta take the game in doses
The illest shit don't really get too much promotion
Children of the indigo protect the fortress”
~Smoke Dza

The High


As the Eryah Badu samples cuts through a hypnotic baseline, I knew a spiff needed to be sparked. Enough Said…

“Ain't worried 'bout shit and ain't got to
Patek Phillipe from Fossils
Smoking on Cheeba, sipping on Chevis
I'm in the old school, center of Portland like Arvydas
Them niggas tryna style I'm like beat it
It's Bob Marley on my chain not Jesus”
~Smoke Dza

The Lifestyle


Dza come hard, talking his shit over a deep heavy baseline. Dza cleverly uses his voice in a unique cadence that it become another layer of instrumentation, almost like a sequencer.

“On point, know how to maneuver
Blueprint, you been one of my muses
God like, one eye on Judas
Hustler, in the land of users
Don't confuse us, we shakers movers
Hotbox Ubers, I don't do hookah”
~Smoke Dza
