History.
The collective began in 2011 as a loose association of individual rappers from Croydon in South London. First the group called themselves ‘"Squeeze 4 P$‘", and then ‘"Squeeze Section’." The group released their first mixtape titled "Sectionly" in 2014 as ‘"Section Boyz’". With the second mixtape "Don't Panic", the group made it into the “Top 40” of the British Music Charts in 2015 and were subsequently honoured as best newcomers at the MOBO Awards. The group was also chosen to be on the list of the “Sound Of 2016” at the BBC.
In 2016, the group was awarded as the best hip-hop act of the year at the MOBO Awards. This was followed by further mixtapes every year. In 2018 the group changed their name to "‘Smoke Boys’" and released their fifth mixtape "Don’t Panic II." The tape brought them into the charts once again. In October 2020 the group released their sixth, and final mixtape titled "All The Smoke".
