“Khaled is an incredible executive and producer, and he’s still supportive. For me, I didn’t feel like my artistry and what he does matched at that time. I wanted a lot more creative freedom,” D.Smoke informed host Reginald Calixte. “The music industry is like the ocean. There are sharks and all of this stuff. Your business that you build is a quality ship, your vehicle. I focus on my nucleus and core to make sure that’s tight.”
D. Smoke additionally shared why he appears like he’s the proper artist to characterize the period of Death Row Records.
“I do believe I’m the right person to carry the legacy of Death Row. As it relates to rap, there are brilliant artists already on Death Row,” he mentioned. “October London, Jane Hancock –but they’re soul artists.

“You can’t even talk about what he’s doing now without mentioning he was in an accident that almost took his life. They had to do reconstructive surgery all over his chest,” he says. “To now be doing his own stunts and have a trailer specifically set up for fitness rooms, his regimen and special kind of chairs, while still being a lead character, running and doing fighting scenes, is incredible.”
“There were some accommodations for him. They kinda wrote up some of the characters around him, so it wasn’t too demanding on it initially. However, he still came back to do it. I think the first season back took us longer to shoot because they didn’t want to overtax him and cram it, so it was spread out over more months.”
