about this song
The second single to Isaiah Rashad’s 2016 sophomore album, and follow up to his 2014 debut Cilvia Demo. It released January 15th, 2016, a week after Top Dawg posted a snippet on his Instagram. “Smile” has a slow-burning beat that’s sonically reflective of Rashad’s Tennessee roots. The raps are just as smooth, but the content is often painful, as Rashad documents coming back to his stomping grounds – only to find his community isn’t bearing the “smile” with which he thought his return would be greeted.
