He gained attention after winning the first season of the Netflix music competition show, Rhythm & Flow in 2019. The following year, he independently released his debut album Black Habits.

D Smoke grew up in a musical family with his mother, brothers, and cousin being gospel singers in Inglewood, California. His brother SiR is signed to Top Dawg Entertainment. In 2006, he started a songwriting group called WoodWorks with his brothers and his cousin Tiffany Gouché, who wrote songs for Ginuwine and The Pussycat Dolls, as he is credited for writing "Never" by Jaheim. He was also in a musical trio with his brother called N3D. On May 9, 2006, he released his first album called Producer of the Year.

On October 24, he released his debut EP Inglewood High, a 7-track project including a feature from Tiffany Gouché. A writer from HipHopDX gave the EP a positive review saying he could "utilize multiple flows, deliver introspective storytelling, could rap in Spanish incredibly well and had an ear for quality." He performed at the 2019 Soul Train Music Awards with SiR. He also appeared on The Game's album Born 2 Rap on the song "Cross on Jesus Back".

In 2020, D Smoke rapped Deontay Wilder into the ring against Tyson Fury, with the song Black Habits I. Tyson went on to beat Wilder by TKO in the seventh round after Wilder's corner threw in the white towel.
