Smiler (musician)

After being spotted by a talent scout, Vanderpuye was signed to Warner Music UK, and released his debut single, "Delorean", featuring fellow rapper Wretch 32 in March 2012.

Vanderpuye contacted former touring partner Professor Green and asked him to record a verse for his new single, "Top of the World", which features rising star Taiwah.

Tracks on the sampler included hit single "Top of the World", as well as "Real Thing", "X", "Tonight (Part 1)", "Quicksand" and "Streets of London".

Snippets of "Quicksand", "Streets of London" and "Real Thing" had previously appeared on an internal record company sampler which surfaced in March 2012, which also contained an alternate version of "Top of the World", only featuring Green.

At this point, Warner Music UK announced they were terminating Vanderpuye's record deal and his debut album subsequently remains unreleased.
