Von Pape and Maxolyn link up for “Smoke Em,” a smoke-filled, swaggering new visual that feels engineered for late-night rotation. The track pairs Von Pape’s grit-coated delivery with Maxolyn’s looser, melodic counter-punch, and the chemistry lands exactly the way these tag-team street records are supposed to: one artist sets the table, the other clears it.

Behind the lens is RayShotItProductions, a name that’s quietly become a go-to for artists looking to elevate their visuals beyond the standard performance-clip template. RayShotIt has built a reputation in the Midwest underground for clean composition, punchy color work, and effects that actually serve the song instead of distracting from it — and “Smoke Em” continues that streak. Expect tight framing, atmospheric haze (on theme, naturally), and the kind of cuts that keep your thumb away from the skip button.

What makes “Smoke Em” worth your three minutes is how unbothered it sounds. There’s no oversinging, no overproduced hook gymnastics — just two artists locked into a pocket and a videographer who knows when to let a moment breathe. For listeners who’ve been tracking the next wave of regional rap talent, this is another data point suggesting Von Pape and Maxolyn are names worth saving in the notes app.
