Scottie the 3rd delivers fast, energetic flows and creative sampling on “SMOOTH OPP.”
Scottie the 3rd is part of a growing wave of artists who clearly enjoy the actual craft of rapping and building records from the ground up. In an era where that passion can feel inconsistent across the board, his approach stands out immediately.
Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Scottie the 3rd is not just a rapper but also a producer, engineer, and streamer, using all sides of his skill set to push a very hands-on creative style. His latest single, “SMOOTH OPP,” reflects that mindset in a compact, fast-moving format designed for attention spans shaped by social media.
The track opens with a recognizable sample from Sade’s “Smooth Operator,” then shifts into a beat that feels frantic, explosive, yet still smooth around the edges. It’s a bold contrast that immediately grabs attention.
Scottie the 3rd matches the production with a relentless flow that still feels controlled. His tone stays unbothered as he raps about ambition, competition, strategic moves, and enjoying the fast life.
