ILL BE LOVED WHEN NO ONE’S AROUND

Uzi vertebrae, up like murder rate up, pearly gates

Reasonnumberone is im thesonnnnof

Trees and moonsandsmarrtyrs, authorsss
why is that part so catchy

I REALLY liked settle down

S***s so breezy

Whole album is insane though. There’s so much space with sounds

I choose 5 songs from major releases/albums I FW for my decades playlists

I chose:
90 Proof
Louphoria
Matinee
Settle Down
Curtains

Somehow I knew the singles would sound even better within the album

How could u describe Smino’s sound?

It clicked. Album hard as bricks

gettin no gettin no gettin no sleep

Hook is so beautiful, have to sing along whenever it comes on

it's so hard to really encapsulate all I can give you is harmonious and soulful but there's so much missing in that description. His production never quite goes in the same direction either

Definitely agree that the vibe is different

Blkswn and Noir are much more “fun” albums (especially Noir which feels like a TV show while Blkswn feels more like a play)

This album is a lot more tender

I remember yns said that Smino makes “HBCU dorm room music” and it stuck with me ever since

Heard someone say he sings in cursive.

To me he’s like if OutKast was one person, but tilted toward 3k.

How many rappers yall gonna say remind yall of 3k man

Everytime a nigga different

“Yo he remind me of 3k!”

Love to see it

Wait we getting even more s***?

Idk, only rapper I personally have ever said that about.

And not that he sounds like him, just his style overall reminds me of OutKast in a lot of ways. I’m sure they’re one of his influences.

f*** i forgot this was dropping yesterday, sorry smi

ill buy tickets to your tour for sure (amazing internal rhymes there)

will listen now

if we're using other artists I would say if you put Andre 3k, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Bootsy Collins, Ludacris and a dash of Prince in a blender you'd get Smino.

speaking of bootsy collins we need that track from the trailer on the companion album!

I THINK YA LOVELY

They both got that alien gene. He a ST.Lien

Let me finally listen to this piece of work

oh this an ALBUM atmospheric with concept and all

me only on the opening track but me thinks
