The song “Hades” is edgy and it has a retro vibe to it, where the listener can recall the early music of global music star Eminem, and that is meant as a compliment.
In this tune, Smith uses “Hades” as a metaphor to address the sink-or-swim mentality that many people deal with when they pursue their dreams, as well as the sacrifices that are necessary to make those dreams a reality. The song is nonchalant and the lyrics are raw, honest and unflinching.
Smith is originally from the West Side of Cincinnati, Ohio, and he is pursuing his music career in Nashville, Tennessee.
