I'll apologize if there's an element of confusion at play here. The "Smoke Boys" are in fact the Section Boyz we grew to love in 2015 when they dropped the inaugural Don't Panic mixtape which featured crossover hits like "Lock Arf" and "Trapping Ain't Dead." Before changing their name, Section Boyz left the UK drill in the capable hands of their younger brethren.
On "Leave the Hood," Smoke Boys are lucky to have AJ Tracey on hand to deliver a simple yet effective chorus. Together they tackle the issue of authenticity. Tracey and the gang choose "leaving the hood and returning with honor" as their chosen path.
The musically-evolved form that Tracey has ably demonstrated here, puts his newfound songwriting acumen to work. It would seem AJ has surpassed the expectations set before him. No one except his core fans expected him to expand his musical repertoire in such a self-assured manner. Enjoy "Leave the Hood" and the rest of Don't Panic II.
Quotable Lyrics:
Only stars on my tracks
Tings and cars we don't lack
Leave the hood and come back
Leave the hood and come back
I did the most with that rack
We been chasing that sack.
-AJ Tracey
