**Smoke Boys** (formerly **Section Boyz** and before that **Squeeze Section**) were a British [hip hop collective](/source/Hip_hop_collective) started by British rapper Ghost in 2010. On 25 September 2015 the group's second mixtape *[Don't Panic](/source/Don't_Panic_(Section_Boyz_album))*[1] entered at number 36, making their first [UK Albums Chart](/source/UK_Albums_Chart) entry.[2] On 4 November 2015, they won Best Newcomer at the [MOBO Awards](/source/MOBO_Awards). They were considered to be highly influential in the [UK drill](/source/UK_drill) scene.[3][4]

## History

The collective began in 2011 as a loose association of individual rappers from [Croydon](/source/London_Borough_of_Croydon) in South London. First the group called themselves ‘*Squeeze 4 P$‘*, and then ‘*Squeeze Section’.*[5] The group released their first [mixtape](/source/Mixtape) titled *Sectionly* in 2014 as ‘*Section Boyz’*. With the second mixtape *[Don't Panic](/source/Don't_Panic_(Section_Boyz_album))*, the group made it into the “Top 40” of the British Music Charts in 2015 and were subsequently honoured as best newcomers at the [MOBO Awards](/source/MOBO_Awards). The group was also chosen to be on the list of the “Sound Of 2016” at the [BBC](/source/British_Broadcasting_Corporation).[6]

In 2016, the group was awarded as the best hip-hop act of the year at the MOBO Awards. This was followed by further mixtapes every year. In 2018 the group changed their name to *‘Smoke Boys’* and released their fifth mixtape *Don’t Panic II.* The tape brought them into the charts once again. In October 2020 the group released their sixth, and final mixtape titled *All The Smoke*.[7]
