WHERE'S WALLO: D SMOKE

From Inglewood to inspiration, D Smoke sat down with me and shared a story that’s rooted in family, faith, and perseverance. We talked about what it was like growing up in Inglewood, watching his father go to prison and later come home to be active in his life and his brothers’ lives. We spoke about his mother, the late and legendary Jackie Gouché Farris, may she rest in peace, a woman who poured everything into her sons, pushing them to be great, to be grounded, and to never lose sight of who they are.

D Smoke is a reflection of that love, that structure, and that discipline. He learned the game, mastered his craft, and built the world he wanted for himself through hard work, consistency, and creativity. His neighborhood didn’t break him, it sharpened him. It taught him resilience, focus, and how to turn obstacles into opportunities.

This conversation was bigger than music. It was about legacy, leadership, and the power of showing up for yourself and your people. D Smoke represents what it looks like when talent meets purpose and faith meets discipline. Salute to a man who’s walking in his calling and proving that greatness starts at home. RIP to his incredible mother, Jackie Gouché Farris, her spirit clearly lives on through everything he does.
