Smith Freesoul

Smith Freesoul is a rapper from Bogotá who blends underground rap with reggae and sentimental beats, rhyming about life on streets, love and politics. In 2023, Smith released his first album called "De los Golpes Aprendí".

As a teenager Smith lived many years on the streets of the notorious neighbourhood "El Bronx", where drugs, poverty and crime conquered the lives of its inhabitants. At times, Smith got pulled in by his surroundings. And when "El Bronx" was evicted and torn down by the government, he lost his "home". But in rap Smith found a way out. A way to express his feelings, a way to raise his voice, and way to regain the inner strength to stay on the right path and take care of his family. Every day, Smith wakes up early in the morning to rap in the transmilenio bus, offering passengers entertainment on their way to work. But his songs are more than mere entertainment. Smith writes new lyrics everyday, and not a single word is without meaning and purpose. He gives a voice to those who live on the streets and in the slums. Those who are ignored, silenced and discriminated. With his sentimental songs and his catchy reggae hooks, Smith makes sure we want to hear them.
