This week, our Tip of the Week act goes by the name of Smiler and hails from Woolwich in South East London. He started rapping about eight years ago and has already supported the likes of GZA from Wu-Tang and D12. At the weekend, he played on the BBC Introducing stage at T in the Park:

Our chosen track - titled Enza - is taken from his Clarity EP. Have a listen and let us know what you think in the comments below. Judging by the reaction on Twitter, it went down pretty well in Scotland over the weekend:

Here's Huw with the track in full:
Enza is currently receiving a lot of love from BBC 1Xtra, and Smiler is also one of ten artists who are being championed on Radio 1 this summer. Each week, Radio 1's top honchos will pick an artist from our festival stage to add to their playlist, meaning their tracks will be given a spin on daytime national radio, reaching a massive audience. So listen out for more fantastic under the radar acts like Smilar on Radio 1 in the coming weeks.
