Hip-Hop

I released my first CD in 2003. Things are completely different now, I thought about quitting, I didn't. So I uploaded my old favorites to streaming platforms. As if that wasn't enough my new album 'Smiley' drops late 2024. Superhero Music III: A Beautiful Death is also now back online. Not available on streaming platforms, but you can hear it here.

Say Hello

I'm Back! Stream & watch my new single 'Say Hello' kicking off the new era of my upcoming album titled: Smiley.

I'm Gonna Make It

Single number 2, and shot at the Las Vegas Sphere. Listen to 'I'm Gonna Make It'.

'Stronger Now' - The final single from Jim Smiley's 2025 album 'Smiley'. Shot on location at red rock canyon in nevada. watch/stream 'stronger now' now.

'Smiley' released in 2025 is a spiritual Hip-Hop album by artist Jim Smiley. Written & produced entirely by Jim, 'Smiley' is largely a telling of a man surrendering to God. While embracing and coming to terms with the idea his alter-ego 'Smiley' is not just his artist name, but a persona in itself. The character Smiley, that Jim once deemed too juvenile to continue as has returned, and in many, if not all aspects has completely taken over. 'Say Hello', 'I'm Gonna Make It, & 'Stronger Now' reflect the albums themes of:duality, faith, love, rejection, mental health, & self-discovery. Now streaming on all platforms.
