Smino is one of my favorites since I first heard him. I went to him about a year after isaiah rashad released the suns tirade and I found him through isaiah rashad
Smino will always be goated the day I realized when he says "I got a chicken coupe" in Anita he really saying "I got a chick in coup" then proceeds to make double meaning bars about chicken
As a jazz musician who also loves hip hop and the crossover between genres, Smi has consistently proven his musical and artistic acumen through and through. His work with Monte is nothing short of sonic perfection. From his buttery flows, with immense rhythmic contrast and complexity, to his soulful melodic ease; Smi is simply a contemporary virtuoso. Ive had the pleasure of witnessing a live performance (Hoopti tour), where he performed with a 4-piece band, which was nothing short of pure brilliance. Truly a breath of fresh air in this world of 'plug and play' live shows. Thank you for this beautiful look into his place in this modern age of 'cut-and-paste' music.
I think what I appreciate about Smino is that black experience that Afro-surrealist view point of the music makes for timeless pieces to live by. The flows are incredible and the meanings and levels to the lyrics go crazy. He never loses that bounce and I think he’s easily top tier currently in rap but I value originality over everything else
4:44 i can confirm this is true, i’ve listened to this album atleast 25 times and it has just gotten better everytime, there isn’t a single bad song on there
First time seeing this video and you literally voiced how I felt discovering Smino and my feelings towards each project initially and over time. My first listen was blkjuptr as well during my freshman year of college and I’ve been a fan since. Favorite artist hands down!
I found out abt Smino only maybe like 2-3 months ago, and I’ll say, I’m nowhere near disappointed. The track ‘Amphetamine’ from ‘blkswn’ was how I found out. I was looking for new music that I could chill to, and then found it. My personal fav album is Luv 4 Rent but imo, all the albums are 10/10. I love how he makes his own sound and doesn’t try to be anyone else.
luv 4 rent is prolly my most listened album this year. overdoing himself from the last 2 albums and switching up his style again, and now getting some mainstream atention with a J.Cole and Uzi feature. I love this man and I can't wait for the next album!
what an amazing video. I was kinda dissapointed with this last new L4R album as you were with noir at the time, but now I just found the beuty of it like you did with noir. Smino is evolving w every album frfr 😁
I respect this right here! You understand how I feel! I heard few songs that I didn’t like and as soon as they went off I was like nahhhh bring that back that shit fire and different
I can’t agree more when I listened to Noir for the first time hearing Tequila Mockingbird definitely showed me that smino was different. Great video , you deserve ur zero dislikes because there is nothing to not like about this video.
Had to rewatch this with Smino gearing up to drop 🤞 I know he's going 3/3, hopefully this one is his best too. He's never disappointed anyway. Edit: also I love blkswn but.. Maraca and Glass Flows literally have the same beat lol. They don't sound too much alike but they are similar in that matter.
smino on some of the best beats of 2020 is fantastic and I also enjoyed a few of the rnb sides. Solid mixtape to feed the fans until his next Banger full release!
smino and monte are the best rapper + producer combo the world has seen in years.
they actually compliment each other so well

Special people recognize how special Smino truly is.

damn u know the realest, fingers crossed for some heat 21 drops

Let’s thank Monte Booker who create the sound
fax, gotta respect the producers for their hard work

Thats insane, I've yet to see him live but I know it would be insane or nothing less
