Blue Note Jazz Festival – Napa

Smino

Appearing Saturday, July 30


Smino is an anomaly of sorts — a new-school vet with three 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. His new album Luv 4 Rent reveals new depths from one of the coolest creatives in music.
