His rap makes room for southern R&B and imperfect harmony singing the drums are inevitably cooled out, like nth-wave neo soul. Like many artists in this club - especially Smino’s Chicago-based collaborators like Saba and Noname - Smino is not particularly interested in the fierce sound that generally earns rappers the attention of the people programming radio stations and marquee streaming playlists. blkswn earned Smino entry into hip-hop’s growing tier of artists who have steady, dedicated listeners without any major hits to their name.
