The Smoke Trees are a no-frills rap group reminiscent of the boom bap/ golden era of hip hop.
With the recent release of new track 'Security', the Sydney group features Nick Knowledge from Germany, Double KO from Paris, Sonny Syah who's Indonesian born and DJ Dewis from New Zealand.

Their lyrics are day-to-day musings about city life, girls, struggling for dollars, music and wearing the coolest sneakers. Naturally high-brow stuff.
The lads also like to party, with Nick Knowledge sharing the five cats they want to bring to a party.
1. Bill Murray
Because Bill Murray.2. Erykah Badu
With the possible exception of Bill Murray, she is the single coolest thing in the universe. Additionally her combination of creativity and looseness exponentially increases the chance of karaoke. Which people like apparently.3. Hunter S. Thompson
Maybe there'll be mind-bending stream of consciousness prose? Maybe there'll be mind-bending armfuls of hallucinogens? Who knows.4. My mate Dewis
He's a fun guy. Also last gig he made out with a super-hammered cougar babe over the turntables while doing a mix and I want to draw attention to it.5. Darth Vader
In case shit goes down, you know? You never know with kids these days. My second choice for muscle was Vladimir Putin. He may have shown up on a horse, but I was to concerned what would happen once Hunter S. Thompson spikes his White Russian with mescaline. I hear Darth is a happy drunk.'Security' is available now.
