Omar Jeffery Pineiro[7] (born May 15, 1997), known professionally as Smokepurpp, is an American rapper. He first became known in the SoundCloud rap scene for his 2017 single "Audi", which received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In March of that year, he signed with Alamo and Interscope Records to release the song and his debut mixtape for which it served as lead single, Deadstar (2017), the following September.[8] It peaked at number 42 on the Billboard 200, while his debut studio album and the mixtape's sequel, Deadstar 2 (2019) narrowly entered the chart. His second album, Florida Jit (2020) failed to chart in any known territory and served as his final album on the label.[9]

Early life

[edit]

Smokepurpp was born on May 15, 1997,[10] in Chicago, Illinois.[11] He and his family moved to Miami, Florida when he was three years old.[11] Speaking on his upbringing, Pineiro described himself during high school as a calm individual who surrounded himself with diverse groups of people.[12]

Pineiro began his music career as a producer, a hobby he picked up due to boredom. While doing this, he had a major influence in getting his friend Lil Pump into rapping as well. He began to rap when no one bought his produced instrumentals and due to the success of several tracks on the audio distribution platform SoundCloud, Pineiro dropped out of high school in his senior year.[13]

His musical influences include Kanye West, Taking Back Sunday, Every Avenue, Young Thug, and Lucki.[14]

Career

[edit]

2014–2016: Early work

[edit]

Pineiro originally started to pursue music in high school, starting as a producer, as many others, Pineiro started publishing his art on SoundCloud. Pineiro began to rap due to the lack of people actually buying his produced instrumentals.[15] Pineiro's first song was released on SoundCloud in 2015, but he quickly deleted it due to its lack of quality, soon uploading his second song, "Live Off a Lick" featuring Florida native rapper XXXTentacion.[16] Pineiro eventually dropped out of high school due to his budding music career.[13] Pineiro later released his first music video on September 23, 2014, titled "It's Nothin" with rapper Lil Ominous, who is also Pineiro's cousin.

2017–2018: Breakthrough success and charting albums

[edit]

In March 2017, Pineiro signed a joint venture record deal with Alamo Records (now part of Sony Music) and Interscope Records.[17] Following this, he announced his debut commercial mixtape on March 9, 2017, on Twitter.[18] Several days later on March 14, 2017, Pineiro announced that the mixtape would be titled Deadstar.[19]

Pineiro released his commercial debut single, "Audi", in May 2017.[20] The single soon became his biggest song with over 25 million plays on SoundCloud[21] and 122 million streams on Spotify[22] as of October 2017. In September 2017, Pineiro announced that the release date for Deadstar was September 22, releasing the single "Bless Yo Trap" following the announcement.[23] Pineiro announced later on that Deadstar would be delayed, stating no expected release date.[24]

On September 28, 2017, Pineiro released Deadstar. The mixtape includes features from artists such as Chief Keef, Juicy J and Travis Scott.[8] The mixtape debuted at number 42 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.[9] Following the release of the mixtape, on November 8, 2017, Pineiro was on the MTV show TRL, where he announced that he had a collaboration mixtape coming soon with Murda Beatz titled Bless Yo Trap.[25] He later released two singles from the mixtape called "123" and "Do Not Disturb", the latter which features Lil Yachty and Offset. The mixtape was released on April 13, 2018.[26]

On March 20, 2018, while Pineiro was at SXSW, he did an interview with Nardwuar the Human Serviette, and in that interview, Nardwuar exposed that he had an upcoming project called Sound of Space (later retitled Lost Planet), along with his Deadstar 2 project.[27]

2019–present: Debut studio album

[edit]

On April 19, 2019, Pineiro released his EP Lost Planet via Alamo Records. The EP includes guest appearances from Gunna, Lil Pump, and NLE Choppa.[28] On December 13, he released his debut studio album, Deadstar 2, after many delays.[29] Although it did not perform as commercially well as his previous projects, it did peak at number 86 on the Canadian Albums chart.

Pineiro released his second studio album, Florida Jit, on June 19, 2020.[30][31]
