#FMSpotlight: King Louie – “Smokin’ Cali” (Listen)

King Louie speaks facts only in his new song “Smokin’ Cali.” The beat, produced by Malcolm Flex, is influenced by trap and led by a piano. From a lyrical stance, the drill rap godfather calls out adult tattle tellers. He also speaks on his love for luxurious women and essentials. Not to mention, King Louie warns the opps not to test him. He wants others to understand that bragging is only harmful in the long run.

 

Elsewhere, he details what happens during grind season and moments when he’s relaxing. The song is assisted with a catchy hook. Likewise, King Louie delves into two different cadences. The first flow is bouncy, whereas the other one is swift. 

One notable line from the song goes,

I don’t really write to rap/I don’t really like the clout/You a young tough snitch/Call you a mighty mouse/Lemon kush too strong/Point him out, knock him out.”

King Louie signed his first deal with Epic Record. Around that time frame, he released 2014’s Tony, which featured his smash hits ––”B.O.N,” “Live & Die In Chicago,” and “Til I Meet Selena.” Following this, he went on a 20-city Tony Tour. 

This year, he’s revamped his sound and is torching the mic. Since signing a new recording deal with Machine Entertainment Group, King Louie has created several new records. 

Currently, he’s prepping to release an EP that’s “a gumbo pot-full of flavor, and, of course, accompanied by that thousand-watt smile.”
