Speaking to HipHopDX in a new interview, Smokepurrp was asked who he thought the three biggest artists of the 'SoundCloud generation' and the rapper wasn't caught in two minds with his answer.

Sharing his thoughts, Smokepurpp said, "For sure Post Malone because he was like the first artist to actually blow up on SoundCloud," he said.

The 'Dirty Dirty' rapper went on to add, "He was the first artist to really go big like that from SoundCloud. And f***ing X [XXXTentacion] for sure. I feel like X played a big part." Smokepurpp also picked himself in the top 3.

Since sharing their music on SoundCloud, Smokepurpp's picks Post Malone and XXXTentacion have gone on to have huge success in the music industry, bringing in billions of streams and video views between them.
