SMBA (Simba) is a stage name of an independent artist, rapper, and singer from Central Florida.
Unfortunately for SMBA and his 3 siblings, both of SMBA’s parents had succumbed to drug addiction. Leading to a childhood filled with misfortune. Resulting in moving frequently throughout ghettos and slums of Florida.
To know this artist, it is advised you listen carefully behind the pain and sheer rawness in the lyricism. SMBA's has impeccable delivery/timing, diversity and versatility on each song, but it’s the beauty in the truth behind the words.
A perfect example of this would be on his first EP “Poetic Origins” starting with the track “Heroine” as in female hero. This powerful track was intended for his mother who has battled with her addiction to heroin. SMBA is an artist that brings you on a journey through his eyes. Channeling his pain into his music, resulting in an array of emotions.
The best phrase that can be used for both his music and demeanor would be “real recognize real.”
