Smino is an anomaly of sorts: a neo-soul rapper, a new-school vet and with just two studio albums under his belt he has undoubtedly earned the designation of a career artist. Since the release of his debut album blkswn (2017), he has continued to innovate unique sounds, flows and even vernacular - encouraging fans to "Smi-save" his latest single 90 Proof. Smino's distinctive Southern drawl can hypnotize listeners but behind it lies a potent pen game, where he weaves together romance with dashes of comedy, doused in realness. His latest album, Luv 4 Rent, boasts features from J.Cole, TDE’s new signee, Doechii and more but fans are most ready for Smino’s whimsical wordplay. Luv 4 Rent promises to reveal new depths from one of the coolest creatives in music.

After hearing that there was a literacy crisis in the west, I thought about all the different ways I could help. I combined a deep love for music, a dash of neurodivergent brainstorming, and my different perspectives on life to this point.

I am an underground artist that dances in a fusion world of acapella + another genre. With music, let me tickle your brain and energize you for the fights ahead. 💕

'LIL HERB' OUT NOW ⏳: gherbo.lnk.to/LilHerb

BOOKINGS: Jacqueline.ReynoldsDrumm@caa.com

“It's like finding your roots, getting in touch with your old self and that hunger you had when you first started, the energy that made the world fall in love with Lil Herb,” says G Herbo of his new project, Lil Herb. Named after the moniker he broke through with 15 years ago, it’s both an album and a time machine. After helping invent and globalize Chicago drill, launching the Swervin Through Stress nonprofit, and scoring his biggest hit “Went Legit” off his 2024 mixtape Greatest Rapper Alive (13M direct-to-fan streams), Herbo is now reaching back and looking forward. He recorded 100 songs over a year, revisited old favorites, and returned to Chicago studios with his day-ones. The result blends soulful No I.D.-crafted hip hop, menacing drill, and a rare Wyclef Jean feature—plus a reunion with the late Juice WRLD.  “I'm at the finish line… I'm in full control of my destiny now. I've finished the marathon I started when I was 16, when I was Lil Herb.”

Flau’jae Johnson has been able to perform under pressure — whether it’s as a contestant on
reality TV shows, as an All-SEC basketball player at LSU, or as a high-wire MC who’s rapped
alongside Lil Wayne. And after already having an NCAA championship and recognition as one
of Billboard’s Sports & Music Power Players, her new album Flau&B finds her singing her own
hooks and using R&B-hued production to get personal about life through the lens of youth and
celebrity. As a prodigious musical talent, an all-star athlete, and a budding businesswoman with
a variety of NIL (name, image and likeness) deals, Flau’jae is a true triple threat.
