Smokingskul Shares New Single and Video “Nina”

19-year-old Florida rapper Smokingskul has just shared his new single and video “Nina”. Smokingskul is at the helm of a new era of plugg music known as “dark plugg”which substitutes the ethereal sounds of “plugg” with more tonal melodies that are accentuated by distorted percussion, producing a grimey, DIY sound.

On the track produced by the forefather of “plugg” MexikoDro , Skul utilizes his naturally baritone voice to deliver excitable lyrics over a dark, bass-knocking instrumental. His hast-paced flows, intense delivery, and attention-grabbing presence make “Nina” a demonstration of what has made him a noteworthy act in Florida’s hip-hop scene. The video for the track shows Skul in a green-tinted studio space, sporting his signature mask while performing the exhilarating cut.

Smokingksul hails from Naples, Florida, and has been enamored with the sounds of hip-hop all his life. Growing up with the sounds of Drake, Young Thug & Rich Homie Quan primed Skul to push the bounds of new-age sounds and bring his own unique perspective into the mix.

Skul broke out into the underground scene with his 2020 track “Tesla” which highlighted the fun of his non-stop bars and constant punch lines. The success “Tesla” put him at the forefront of this underground scene where he’s continued to build his homegrown audience with tracks like p “Do That” and “Dior”, displaying his wide-ranging influences and dynamic style.

He kicked off 2022 with a run of singles including “Assembly Line”, “Vlone” & “Ganja”. With constant ingenuity and a youthful sense of musical discovery, Smokingskul is a leading act in the developing “dark plugg” scene and the emerging fresh sounds coming from Florida.
