With Smoke & Sex, released on November 7, 2025, Paris-based Franco-British rapper Switch The MC enters the second chapter of his Comme Moi trilogy — and the shift in tone is undeniable. Where the previous installment burned with contained rage, Smoke & Sex leans into sensuality, emotional nuance, and transcontinental rhythm. It’s a project steeped in texture: Afrobeat pulse, grime sharpness, French-rap sensitivity, and the unmistakable imprint of Switch’s Beninese roots.

Sonically, the EP is driven by the work of Nigerian and Beninese beatmakers, whose production injects the project with heat and fluidity. The percussion moves like smoke curling through a room — hypnotic, airy, and deceptively complex — while Switch’s delivery provides the grounding force, alternating between gritty precision and melodic vulnerability. The opening track “6 AM” sets the temperature beautifully. It’s intimate but restless, weaving the blurred emotional edges of late-night reflections with Switch’s bilingual finesse. “Stretch” — which will later serve as its own chapter in the trilogy — introduces tension and longing, while “Smoke and Sex” sits at the center of the EP like a slow-burning candle: equal parts romance, confrontation, and self-possession. On “Twosome,” Switch explores relational dualities with disarming honesty. The track balances warmth and danger, desire and hesitation — a perfect encapsulation of the EP’s emotional core. “Time to Me” speaks to self-preservation within intimacy, while “Betty” closes things out with swagger and sentiment, a tribute wrapped in groove-heavy production.

Across its runtime, Smoke & Sex proves that Switch is not just a technical rapper — he’s a storyteller who understands emotional architecture. He doesn’t just describe sensuality; he dissects its contradictions: tenderness vs. friction, desire vs. self-definition, heritage vs. modernity. As the trilogy moves toward its next chapters — Stretch (May 29, 2025) and Time To Me (June 26, 2025) — Smoke & Sex stands as the most intimate and human installment. It showcases Switch The MC not merely as a boundary-crossing artist but as a visionary voice in a rapidly globalizing rap landscape
