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.

With the ever-evolving landscape of R&B, SiR has solidified his place as one of the genre’s most compelling voices. Since his 2015 debut project, Seven Sundays, he has consistently delivered soulful, introspective music that resonates with fans worldwide. His HER EP series (HER in 2016 and HER TOO in 2017) earned widespread praise, setting the stage for his breakout sophomore album, November (2018).

SiR continued his momentum with Chasing Summer (2019), a critically acclaimed album that featured the RIAA Gold-certified single “Hair Down” with Kendrick Lamar, as well as fan favorites like “John Redcorn” and “You Can’t Save Me.” 

During the pandemic, he kept his audience engaged with the single “Rapper Weed” and his well-received cover of The Isley Brothers’ classic “Footsteps in the Dark, Pts. 1 & 2.”

In 2022, SiR entered a new chapter of his career, releasing a string of singles, including “Satisfaction,” “Life Is Good,” and “Nothing Even Matters.” He continued to build anticipation for his next project with the release of “No Evil” and “Karma” featuring Isaiah Rashad.

In 2024, SiR delivered Heavy, his highly anticipated album, which arrived on March 22. With this latest body of work, he reaffirms his place as a driving force in modern R&B, seamlessly blending soulful storytelling with rich, timeless production.
