Smokepurpp is a popular American rapper. The singer presented his debut mixtape Deadstar on September 28, 2017. It reached number 42 on the US Billboard 200 chart and paved the red carpet for the rapper on the big stage.
It is noteworthy that the conquest of the musical Olympus began with the fact that Smokepurpp posted compositions on the SoundCloud platform. Rap fans appreciated the works of the newcomer. This motivated the singer to develop further, going beyond the online platform.
Childhood and youth Smokepurpp
Omar Jeffrey Pineiro (real name of the singer) was born on May 15, 1997 in Chicago. The guy remembers reluctantly about his childhood. Many moments he would like to forget.
When the boy was only 3 years old, his parents decided to leave Chicago. The family moved to the Miami area. In an interview, Omar admitted that the area where he grew up can be called dangerous. They traded drugs there, in broad daylight a gunshot “squabble” could begin, and it was impossible to go out into the street in the evening. Despite this, Omar grew up as a rather calm and sociable child.
Not everything in the artist's biography was so smooth. Omar abused soft drugs and also sold Xanax. If you believe the publications of journalists, the rapper has experienced more than one drug overdose.
“In fact, what many considered drugs helped me calm down and come to my senses. The doctor saw me having panic attacks. Increased anxiety prevented me from leading a normal life. I've been prescribed Xanax since high school. Then I got used to it. Overdoses have begun. I totally agree with addiction. When I refused the drug, I realized that my brain was cleared, ”commented Omar.
In high school, the guy began to be interested in music. He was interested in hip-hop culture. Interestingly, at first Omar tested his strength as a producer. He collaborated with his longtime friend, the rapper Lil pump. Passion for music so captivated Omar that he left his studies and never received a high school diploma.
The creative path of the rapper
Steps as a producer were unsuccessful. Omar, without thinking twice, decided to pursue a solo career. In 2015, he posted a debut track of his own composition on the aforementioned platform. Less than a week passed, and the singer deleted the composition, considering it terrible.
The deleted song was replaced by the track Live Off a Lick. The rapper recorded the presented composition in a duet with the already deceased XXXTentacion. A year earlier, the debut video for It's Nothin, created and performed with cousin Lil Ominous, was posted on the Internet.
The singer's popularity increased and his authority increased. On the wave of popularity, he released the compositions Sam $ung Jumpin and Ski Mask, which instantly gained the title of hits.
In 2017, Smokepurpp received an offer from several labels at once. At first, the Universal Music Group became interested in the rapper. The organizers offered the singer cooperation on very favorable terms. They decided to lure him with diamond jewelry. Then there were also proposals for cooperation from Interscope Records and Alamo Records.
In the same 2017, the artist's business card was released. It's about the Audi track. The song has received over 60 million views. Then the rapper presented the Deadstar mixtape. The disc, whose sad cover was designed by a close friend of the singer, also included Phantom. By 2019, the video for the presented track gained several million views on Youtube video hosting.
After the release of cereal compositions, the rapper came under the wing of the Cactus Jack Records label. This collaboration gave fans not only immortal hits, but also made Omar a real millionaire. The rapper's discography is replenished with the album Bless Yo Trap, on which Murda Beatz took part.
Smokepurpp's personal life
Smokepurpp is not modest. In his compositions, he sings about crime, drugs, cool cars and corrupt girls. Despite all his openness and audacity, the rapper does not advertise his personal life. But still, from the eyes of journalists, it was not possible to hide the fact who "stole the heart" of the rapper. Smokepurpp is currently dating American singer and actress Noah Cyrus. The couple looks happy.
The rapper has an Instagram page. Representatives of the weaker sex with appetizing forms often appear on the celebrity social network. Judging by the posts, Omar's girls have only working relationships.
Omar is "delirious" with tattoos. This is his second passion after beautiful women. Tattoos adorn almost the entire body of the rapper. And on the face of a celebrity there are drawings in the form of a heart and a star. Tattoos are applied on the neck, arms and fingers. In addition, the rapper pierced the septum of the nose.
The rapper has been following the latest trends of the past few years. His hair is twisted into short dreadlocks and he has rhinestone jewelry on his teeth. He is imitated by millions of American teenagers and fans.
“In my teenage years, I loved listening to the songs of 50 Cent and the members of the G-Unit collective. I took a bit of sass from the featured rappers and added that aggression to my sound. Gucci Mane and Chief Keef have also influenced my work,” Omar said.
Omar does not mind spending time at home watching series and movies. The list of the artist's favorite films was opened by the film "2001: A Space Odyssey".
