Contemplative, dauntless, and carefully crafted, ‘Smoke to Woke Vol. 1’ is the cynical look at the U.S. from the eyes of Kentucky-based rapper EM H THRICE GR8.

Tracks like ‘Out For Self’ and ‘Goddess’ stand out for the vivid imagery set out by the rapper, as he talks about real-world trials with vibrant metaphors and intelligent wordplay. ‘Smoke to Woke Vol. 1‘ on the whole offers up an all-encompassing look into EM H THRICE GR8, shedding light on everything from his impressive rap style all the way through to all of the arduous challenges he’s been met with along the way.
