![]() ![]() This weightlessness also refers to Smino’s willingness to rap or sing in higher keys, something most artists wouldn’t be comfortable with. ![]() He folds these clever little rhymes into little origami stories, always inciting some kind of reaction, like did Smino just use 4 syllables to pronounce champagne? Smino’s accent pushes out rhymes that I wouldn’t dream of throwing together, “I get the dough like Homer/All this paper look like homework/Shorty a glacier in a cold world.” Repeat that 4 times and tell me if it rhymes. The allure of Smino is his weightless voice and effortless wordplay. And with the arrival of NOIR, I’m hoping to have more good times with the genre-pushing artist. I have been waiting for more Smino all year. Monte Booker’s production hasn’t hurt these times either-a mix of cluttered colours constantly seem to snap together to form beats. This has solely been down to the versatility of Smino’s voice and language as well as his ability to bend clever quips or wordplay into each of his rhymes. And he’s kept me company in the kitchen while I cook or clean more than any of my friends. He has helped me get through more words on herbicide application timing than any other voice. Overall Noir is a well rounded album where each song is not limited to the same sound.Smino has been my road-trip buddy more than any other person this year. If you just need a good song while driving down LSD, “Hoopti” is there for you. When you’re in a grown and sexy r&b mood, “Low down Derrty Blues” or “MF Groove” will work. Play “Tequila Mockingbird” if you want to buss a whine. “Pizano” is a great song to liven up any party. “Klink” is a great song to twerk to in the club. Noir gives us a balance of turn-up, vibing it out, twerk, and slow grind. The album includes funny colloquial skits and features from Bari, Jay 2, Dreezy, Valee, and Ravyn Lenae. ![]() There are also fun songs that detail getting drunk, high, and just having a good time. Louis to Chicago, and loving on his girlfriend. ![]() Smino details his success as an upcoming artist, his transition from St. The 18 track album consists of jazz, hip-hop, r&b, and reggae influences. Smino’s new album is a dedication to the hoodrats, the prep school kids, college dropouts and any other person who falls into the black diaspora. Smino has finally released his highly anticipated sophomore album Noir. Room 25 by Noname blessed us with a verse and we were teased with singles “L.M.F” and “Klink”. It’s been a year since blkswan, and everyone’s been waiting for new music. ![]()
