South East London rapper Stacy NKR joins forces with fast-rising producer oakland for their collaborative six-track release, smooth fm. Shaped by candid conversations about the realities of modern love, the project delves into themes of toxicity, self-respect, and the tangled nature of situationships.
Building on the momentum of early singles cosmetic and your eyes, the EP unfolds with highlights such as love is real—a soulful affirmation of self-worth, relapse—a raw reflection on the pull of a former flame, and goodnight—where oakland’s lush production and Stacy’s razor-sharp verses collide in seamless synergy.
The outcome is a daring, boundary-pushing rap collection that feels both personal and expansive. By merging Stacy’s unfiltered storytelling with oakland’s cinematic sound design, smooth fm not only embodies the pair’s creative chemistry but also solidifies their place among the new wave shaping the future of UK rap.
