 Late in 2007, a chance phonecall from former BBC Radio 1 host and comedy writer Danny Robins, for whom Smith had previously written some spoof music, led to Smith working as a script consultant on Robins' BBC Radio 4 sitcom "Rudy's Rare Records", a vehicle for veteran UK comedian Lenny Henry.This eventually led to walk-on roles and more editing and writing work on other Radio 4 comedy shows, including "Music Therapy" and "Look Away Now".Encouraged by producers at the BBC, Smith attended a BBC industry gig in January 2008 at a small venue in London’s Great Portland Street named The Albany, where he performed a comic song and told an anecdote regarding being the first rapper to work for Radio 4.
