Damon Smith, better known as Smoothe da Hustler is an American rapper who was signed to Profile Records in the mid-1990s.

Smoothe came to prominence in 1995 with his debut single "Broken Language", a duet with his little brother Trigga tha Gambler. The song became an instant classic in the hip-hop community for both rappers trading verses for almost four minutes with no hook and innovative wordplay, which earned them a Hip Hop Quotable in the November 1995 issue of The Source. Profile issued Smoothe's debut on March 19, 1996, which was titled Once Upon a Time in America to critical success. However, the album didn't gain much success commercially, only making it to #93 on the Billboard 200. After the album, Smoothe appeared on songs by Shyheim, Nine, Blahzay Blahzay, SWV and Public Enemy and even appeared on The Nutty Professor Soundtrack with Trigger and DV Alias Khrist, but did not release another album for over a decade. In 2008, Smoothe returned with Violenttimes Day released for his own label SMG Entertainment.
