"Smoky Flow" is the first song from The Chi-Lective. The song was inspired by one of Booker's visions in which Nia was dancing happily in smoke, with Tess supplying the lyrics. The video was directed by Levi in the O'Malley apartment. Nia, Booker, and Tess enter the song in the Radio Eclipse Live Contest, and post the video on MeTube.
