Moncton-based rapper YG KRONIK is stepping right into his prime, dropping 'SMOKIN' BEAT

#39; as a standout cut from his collaborative EP 'NEFARIOUS' with producer Y.G. Beats. After grinding on the microphone for over six years, the 21-year-old independent artist has completely locked in his signature horrorcore style. Heavily leaning into the gritty, unfiltered lane paved by acts like UICIDEBOY, this track pairs an eerie, bass-heavy atmosphere with raw vocal delivery that cuts right through the noise.

Written and recorded during a heavy, smoke-filled studio session, the track acts as a direct reflection of KRONIK's head space, moving past a dark phase into a much sharper, smarter creative era. While Y.G. Beats handles the brooding, ominous production, KRONIK lets loose with aggressive flows and zero filters. With the official lyric video already pulling numbers in the underground scene, 'SMOKIN' BEAT

#39; shows an artist who knows exactly what his sound is and where he is going.
