Smockey

**Smockey** is a Burkinabé rapper and activist whose music pulses with social commentary and political fire. Hailing from Burkina Faso, he’s been a key voice in West Africa’s hip-hop scene since the early 2000s, blending sharp lyricism with rhythms rooted in local traditions. Known for tracks like *ZAMANA* (2004) and *CODE NOIR* (2006), Smockey doesn’t shy away from tackling corruption, inequality, and revolution—themes that mirror his real-life activism. He co-founded the *Balai Citoyen* (Citizen’s Broom) movement, which played a pivotal role in Burkina Faso’s 2014 uprising, and his *PRE'VOLUTION* series (2015) captures the tension and hope of that era. Later releases like *MON NOM EST PERSONNE* (2021) show his continued relevance, proving that his art and activism remain tightly woven. Whether he’s dropping fiery anthems or reflecting on freedom, Smockey’s music is a soundtrack for change.
