Hip Hop is just a hobby for some but for Smoke DZA, it is a way of life. Born and raised in Harlem, NY, DZA (real name Sean Pompey) was raised surrounded by music, though it wasn’t necessarily hip hop, “My first exposure to music was through my Dad.” He reflects, “He played his oldies every weekend and still does up to this day.” DZA was introduced to and fell in love with hip hop at a young age and began a journey that would lead him from dropping out of high school to being one of the hottest, most sought after unsigned rappers in the game today. “I was way too popular in high school,” DZA states, “ I used to battle everyone whether it be in the lunchroom or in front of the school. I was way more interested in that, than attending classes.” His early creative processes started where many rappers do, with the lyrical genius of Notorious B.I.G., “I remember learning all of Biggie’s verses, writing them down and making my own renditions of the songs. After I got out [of] that phase I started crafting my own songs like "History" where I spoke about destroying any rapper lyrically and I wrote a song called "Music On My Side" which was an ode to any artist that influenced me to do music. Jay-Z, Biggie, Big L etc.” As DZA’s focus and talent grew, he began to release mixtapes, like the early Respeconize and even formed a group with a childhood friend call “Smoke & Numbers” before striking out for solo success and Cinematic Music Group in 2005. Though his musical journey is not far removed from his early days in Harlem, DZA has recorded with the likes of Asher Roth, Big K.R.I.T., Devin The Dude and Curren$y to name a few. In the past two years he has released a steady stream of mixtapes to critical acclaim, Substance Abuse (2009), Substance Abuse 1.5: The Headstash (2010), and his most recent project, George Kush Da Button which is quickly making it’s way around the internet. DZA credits his longevity to creating laidback, honest music that people can vibe to and always staying true to the art of hip hop. With all of the disposable music threatening the culture of an art form he is trying to help preserve, Smoke DZA is a welcomed breath of fresh air that will make you grateful for the contact high.
Hip Hop artist based in Harlem, New York. Smoke Dza often references movies and marijuana with his slow laid back style of rap. His mixtape entitled "Substance Abuse" was released on December 1st 2009, Featuring: Devin the Dude, June Summers, Nipsey Hussle and many more. In the summer of 2010 he released another mixtape 'George Kush Da Button'
On April 11th he released another mixtape T.H.C. (The Hustler's Catalog)

Young Khalifa, where the don Khalifa?
When in every car I'm smokin'weed
Up in it, I don't know what type of s*** you on
I need at least a zip
Didn't you hear? I say the cars I own are never least a whip
Leather jacket, n**** muscle cars on that greasy s***
And my bandana tied, I play to ride
Live a movie so make sure the camera right
And I'm pullin up and hoppin' out a mess of s*** that young n****s ain't supposed to get
You know I'm rich
Uh!
N**** my whole squad getting it
Practically live on the road
Doing 100 when I'm in this b****
You know n****s kinda slow
A raw paper and some bong weed
That lil n****'s tryna clone me
And labels tryin to make the old me
But I'm the only one and only
Ridin', smokin' preme
Ridin', smokin' preme
Ridin', smokin' preme
We're legends in the making
And we roll up that dower
Mo' money, mo' power
And we roll up that dower

Kush god, keep it rollin like the brakes broken
That's a little gram, little man that ain't smokin'
We move this s***, movie s***, I'm in motion
George Kush, second term and I'm still loaded
Yo b**** on me, all over Miami still
I'm in the bay, smokin' on king Kinley
On that YO, retro haze but SP
I don't search for trees, I am OG
Lil n**** yo lungs ain't strong enough to high box regard
You ain't got no ones and you mouth in off
N**** knock it off
N****s is blow
Run we goin down, that's how much we gon' do
But not so much stuff, you have to start my own dude
Big face Rollie, and my mob stay smooth

Hoes where you get that weed from?
Please don't roll another one
I don't even think that's trees son
Bulls***, all this to show you something
Motor running, tank on F
High, I came high off the bed string
I write with my left brain
Haters face get tight when it's set game
And them hoes know the business
Ball tight game for the ones they missin
No book, boy we handle b****es
N**** I rap clothes off yo women
Clothes I smoke, we're all in one city
Gold and chrome, thirteen inches
Bikes on the dashboard, sixteen switches
Car full of fumes, smokin' that fuel
X on in the ashtray of my team
Send a hoe smellin like Chevron theme
You more than whip, expectin you to
Double my money, double the crew
Triple what we smoked yesterday
Then it's 4-20, 24/7
