Independent hip hop artist SpenDoe has officially released his latest project, the four-song EP Name 100, produced entirely by Sacramento’s seasoned beatmaker C-DUBB. Released on September 17, the EP is a refreshing standout in the current hip hop landscape — clean, expressive, and deeply personal.
The EP’s title track, “Name 100,” immediately sets the tone with its smooth, wavy instrumentation and flair-filled vocal performance. SpenDoe’s delivery is confident and creative, backed by a production style that gives the songs a laid-back West Coast swing. His wordplay and lyrical sharpness carry the track forward, making it a standout listen from start to finish.
Another highlight on the project is the lead single, “Smiles and Cries,” a raw and introspective piece that captures the highs and lows of SpenDoe’s personal journey. Tackling themes of resilience, adversity, and growth, the track opens a window into the artist’s lived experiences and emotional landscape. A music video for the single, shot and edited by longtime collaborator R. SOL, adds a visual depth to the story.
The entire EP is free of explicit content, making it accessible to a broader audience while maintaining its authentic tone and emotional weight. With this release, SpenDoe proves himself to be a multidimensional artist, blending street wisdom with personal insight and melodic appeal.
As 2025 unfolds, fans can expect more music and collaborations from SpenDoe — a creator who continues to push the boundaries of independent artistry.
