D Smoke reacts to two Grammy nominations: 'I feel a great deal of responsibility.'

“I had to re-celebrate over and over again, because that project is such a collective body of work from the producers I collaborated with to the features,” says D Smoke, 35. “I had to get on the phone with Snoop Dogg and thank him for doing that feature [on"Gaspar Yanga"] that just put us in front of so many people.” The song's music video has over 10 million YouTube views.

The rapper born Daniel Farris says everyone from Jesse Collins to John Legend to T.I hit him up after the news broke to share their congratulations. As a result, he says: “It’s a beautiful moment to have, regardless of what the outcome is.”D Smoke says while he loves being part of the best new artist class this year -- alongside other rappers like Megan Thee Stallion and Chika -- he’s most excited about how the voting committee selected the contenders for Best Rap Album.

He plans to let the pieces fall where they may, in terms of securing a win, and says that the nominations are validation enough. “It put me in the conversation of those considered for the highest honor in music,” he says. “I naturally feel a great deal of responsibility to make music that one: confirms that people selected correctly, and two: continues to inspire, entertain and uplift people. But whatever happens that night, I’m proud, primarily because of the company I’m among.
