New Jersey based producer/rapper Travthagod shares the video for his song “Her Smoke.” The heavy trap cut showcases his melodic dancehall infused rap style and a knack for crafting downtempo hazy bangers. he even interpolates the hook from The Roots “You got me” into the cut for good measure.
Shot in the Netherlands, and directed by filmmaker and fellow New Jersey native Teddy Pal, who has previously worked with Rich The Kid, Coi Leray, and DJ Jayhood, among others, the visuals for ‘Her Smoke’ sees Travthagod flying into Rotterdam for the first-time rendezvous with his Afropean love interest. The song is taken from his forthcoming debut project Born YardCore, named after his ‘YardCore Sounds’ movement, and to be released later this year.
Speaking about how ‘Her Smoke’ came about, Travthagod says, “I put the track together with producer B.I, who put the main melody for the track on loop during our studio session, and I was just coming up with different melodies to it. The R&B elements of the melody kept reminding me of a popular cover of Babyface’s ‘Never Keeping Secrets’ by legendary reggae singer Sanchez, and you can hear me repeating the line in the chorus. You can also hear a tiny Erykah Badu riff in there if you listen closely”.
