The dreamy, lo-fi track is an airy palette cleanser leading up to the album's conclusion. "MF GROOVE" transports you to a dream-like state where both artists showcase their angelic harmonies. The pairing of Smino and Chicago vocalist Ravyn Lenae can only be described as blissful. Smino & Ravyn Lenae Are A Match Made in Heaven
#Smino noir songs series
"Unless I lost the Piguet, I fucked her in my bunk bed The bus shake and we bump heads, I met her right off Sunset Then fucked her 'til the sun rose"īoth MC's deliver braggadocios verses about the extravagancy of their lives through a series of "weird flexes." The outrageous nature of the track leaves us astonished, "Damn, we need more music from these two slurring elites." 6. Smino creates a playful chorus on the bass-driven production of the Valee-assisted "KULTURE ICE." The chorus boasts an off-beat, fast-paced lifestyle. Smino takes the backseat on the track laying down a melodic chorus and verse leaving Dreezy to aggressively ether the Monte Booker production. The collaboration is everything the song's boisterous title promises: sexual innuendos, tongue-in-cheek references, and a playful beat for the two MC's to shine on. Mainly collaborating with members of his own collective makes Dreezy's feature on "FENTY SEX" special. Melodic Smino on The Dreezy Collab, "FENTY SEX" The big takeaway from this track is, "Damn, the men of Zero Fatigue can rap!" 4. The trio shines on the Monte Booker production, leaving us wanting for more Jay2 and Bari who are rumored to be releasing individual projects later this year. Bari and Jay2 assist Smino in reminding the world of the rapping strength of the Chicago-based collective. The seventh track, "Z4L," is the men of Zero Fatigue showing out. His effortless navigation of this complex set of beats leaves us baffled. Proving this ability on "TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD," Smino paints a picture of palm trees and chilled tequila. One of the most special qualities Smino possesses as an MC is his knack for finding a pocket within an array of complex production. His Effortless Flow on The Island Anthem, "TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD" The first 30-seconds are heavy to say the least, leaving us with one thought, "You have our attention Smino, damn." 2.
The 18-second introduction opens up to Smino harmonizing alongside a growing set of piano keys. The album begins with a whisper, an unidentified low-voice explains the title, NOIR, describing its multiple meanings: black, statuesque, strong and sweet. We listened to Smino's new album over the weekend and returned with 7 moments that made us say "Damn!" 1. Easily maneuvering between singing and rapping, Smino is malleable when it comes to his craft. Smino creates his own language implemented by his rhyme scheme, which is a variation of metaphors, double entendres and alliterations. The album is filled with captivating production and lyricism showcasing a maturing artist. The out-of-box wordsmith delivered his sophomore album, NOIR, last Thursday following up his highly-acclaimed 2017 debut, blkswan. Listen to it in the car or where your bass can handle the beat and watch those transitions, cause they’re magic.One of the most multidimensional artists creating right now is none other than St. Suggestions for this album would be to allow it to marinade, the first listen won’t allow you to digest all Smino is throwing at you. MF GROOVE features the seducing sounds of Rayvn Lenae you can tell these two are in their own world on this track. This unexpected transition off BAM X2 brings a track that will set you on a wave with the pair’s earth quaking bars. Notable features on this album include Valee in KRUSHED ICE. Smino is notorious for his references this one pairs the “black ass movie” of his life to black film. In his 4 minute opener, KOVERT, the “statuesque”, “strong”, “sweet”, insinuation of “NOIR” is explained. In an odd but clever production, Monte Brooker decorates Smino’s vocals in KLINK with a flourish of what sounds like scattered rain hitting a tin roof. He keeps it classy with the blackest of berries in MERLOT, followed later by straight mockery in SKEDOS. With head bouncing and body swaying vibes, Smino trades Anita for Alvita in TEQUILA MOCKINGBIRD.
