Mac Karleon – Came Up On ‘Em (EP)
At just 20 years old, Strange Smoke from Joplin, Missouri, is crafting a musical journey that transcends genres and defies expectations. His engagement to a lovely fiancée sets the stage for a promising future, both personally and artistically, as they prepare to exchange vows on May 4, 2024. However, it’s Smoke’s musical prowess and the impactful track titled “Dark Knight” that truly stand out in his evolving narrative.
Fueling his passion for music since the tender age of 5, Smoke faced the challenge of limited resources when it came to pursuing his love for drumming. Undeterred, he improvised by seizing a microphone and diving into the world of Pro Tools, marking the inception of a unique musical trajectory.
The heart of Smoke’s artistic expression lies in the song “Dark Knight,” a composition that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of genres. This track serves as a canvas where Smoke blends elements of many styles of music, showcasing his diverse musical palette. The versatility in his taste not only speaks to his eclectic influences but also adds layers of complexity to his creative output.
Crucial to Smoke’s journey is the presence of DoolietheDemon, a close friend and collaborator who played a pivotal role in helping Smoke discover his true potential. Beyond the technical aspects of music production, DoolietheDemon contributed to Smoke’s personal growth, instilling confidence and encouraging him to embrace his authentic self.
“Dark Knight” becomes a symbol of Smoke’s resilience and determination to pursue his musical dreams against the odds. It is a testament to the power of creativity and the ability to transcend limitations, both in terms of resources and societal expectations.
As Smoke and his friends continue on this musical odyssey, “Dark Knight” stands as a beacon of self-discovery and artistic exploration. Strange Smoke’s story is one of overcoming challenges, embracing one’s true identity, and forging a path that is uniquely his own—a path that resonates not just with his experiences but with the universal journey of finding oneself through the transformative power of music.
Storyteller Toosii is gentle and yet powerful with his relatability. IDGAF is an introspective track documenting the pain he’s endured, but also the many triumphs he’s accomplished along the way. Directed by Timothy “NoRatchetss” Williams, fans get glimpses of life with Toosii on tour, joking around with friends, enjoying snacks—and thrilling the masses in concert from a behind-the-scenes perspective.
