Stacy NKR & oakland Link Up For Collaborative Project smooth fm

South East London rapper Stacy NKR and rising producer oakland have joined forces for a brand-new project, smooth fm, dropping at midnight. The collaboration was first sparked by tastemaker CassKidd, who introduced the two artists – and the result is a tape that feels effortless in its chemistry.

At its core, smooth fm is a reflection on modern-day relationships and the wider challenges young people face navigating love, identity, and growth. The themes are grounded in reality but delivered with style: oakland crafts lush, atmospheric beats that bring out the intimacy in Stacy’s bars, while Stacy’s flows glide across the production with precision and warmth. The synergy between the two feels like a natural pairing, with the title capturing both the project’s laid-back sonics and its smooth storytelling approach.

The project has already been earning support, with co-signs from Don Letts on BBC R6 and growing attention across the UK underground. The duo premiered smooth fm live on NTS Radio, introducing listeners to their unique soundscape.

With so much music in the UK scene leaning towards harder, more urgent textures, smooth fm stands out as something refreshingly different. It’s soulful, thoughtful, and rooted in lived experience.

For listeners ready to lock into something introspective but still undeniably stylish, smooth fm is essential listening.
