Maher Ali, better known as ‘Young Smokes’, is a rapper from Birmingham, England. In April 2017, the Moroccan dropped his ‘Kilos’, which has approximately 7 million views to date on YouTube.

Afterwards, he released songs such as ‘Slidin Thru’ and ‘Mad Max’ before getting arrested and sentenced in December 2018 to two years in prison for having a Beretta shotgun in the back of his car.

After getting released from prison, in August 2019, Smokes came back with a bang. In mid-September 2019, he dropped the long awaited and much hyped ‘Hoodrich’.
