Mike Smiff is one of Florida’s prominent stars in the making. From a steady elevating grind from the early 2010’s, which lead to him signing a deal with FL powerhouse label, Slip-N-Slide Records. This was merely the start of his rise, as he continued to set the streets on fire with his mixtape Chase Dis Money, featured tracks with Trick Daddy and Yung Miami and touring all throughout the country. This has been quite a journey for Mike Smiff.
With his highly anticipated project, All Gas, No Brakes 3, featuring his lively single “My First Hunnid” featuring Gank Gank, set to be released July 2nd, we got a chance to ask the young Miami legend in the making a few questions that have been burning a hole in our journalistic minds.
