​Lithonia Georgia rapper Zane Smith has released his first song and project of the new year. 'Noise' is the title of his new smooth, short, yet sweet three-song boom bap EP.

After being kicked out his parents house, Zane Smith faced many things in this new life; a lot of distractions or 'noise' for an artist focused on his craft. 

​The album is named after a design term, like previous albums by the artist and former graphic designer. The cover art features noise, or a grainy image. Zane Smith sits on the bed in a rooming house on the Westside of Atlanta, a step-up from the streets and the men's homeless shelter he had just came from. Now, with some space of his own and time on his hands, he wrote the lyrics expressed on this album. Listen now.

Lithonia, Georgia rapper Zane Smith has released sixth studio album “Mr. Roy G. Biv” on June 24, 2020. Titled with a new alias, Zane Smith is now Mr. Roy Biv due to his background in graphic design. Previous albums “(SWATCHES, black, and gray) have also been named after colors, each used to describe and portray different moods.

With this album, Zane Smith creates a sound like never before working with various producers. The cover features nine colors, representing the nine songs on the album. Each song is associated to a different color and mood. This collection of tracks is an emotional roller coaster of sounds, subjects and lyrics showcasing Zane’s versatility.

This time I had the album, but I released one song at a time so that I could build my audience and give listeners a chance to enjoy and understand the track before moving on to discover more. It had worked. There are more listeners now and the Smith Family is growing EVERY DAY." - Zane Smith
