Ello Pretty Face

Most of Smooth's lyricism are in regard to his riches, fame and past relationships. The moods of his lyrics are introspective, brooding, confident, dramatic, earnest, energetic, humorous, intense, laid-back/mellow, melancholy, playful, reflective, smooth, tender, warm and yearning. 
Smooth's sound is labeled contradictory for its "soft" but at the same time "hard" style.  His genuine, merciful lyrics can  switch to a hard-core in your face rhyme with each line.  
Smooth's  contents detail failed romances, missed connections, relationships with friends and family,  maintaining balance with growing wealth and fame, concerns about leading a hollow life, and despondency themes of loneliness, heartbreak, and mistrust.  The topic of women is prevalent in his lyrics, with verses concerning past and potential lovers.
 
In contrast, Trauma writes violent and dark lyrics with a comical twist.
He is praised for his rapping technique which varies from humorous subject matter, complex rhyme schemes,  ability to bend words so that they rhyme,   use of multisyllabic rhymes,  complex rhythms,  clear enunciation, use of melody, to syncopation. 
His lyrics usually contain cartoonish and over-the-top depictions of violence and explicit sexual content.  The rapper explained that his subject matter is intended for entertainment value, likening his music to an erotic horror film.  Some of the lyrics are considered to be misogynistic which he responds, "when I'm saying shit about women, when I'm saying 'bitches' and 'hoes', it's supposed to be ridiculous."
