New Smi for all!

If you remove his She Already Decided mixtape, it’s been four years since Smino released an album (2018’s NØIR), but the gifted St. Louis artist is officially back in action with his third studio album, Luv 4 Rent.

“This whole album is about having fun and recognizing your inner love. You feel me? Straight up self love vibe,” Smino says. “I felt like I wasn’t personally doing that for myself. You feel me? And I felt like I was just giving that out too much and not really taking it in. So I was in that place, I was in the middle of that and I was like, ‘Damn, how I’ma get out of this?’ And the art imitates life, you feel me? And that’s my life. So, sh*t, that’s what I ended up making it about. Low key, this album probably just saved my life a little bit.”

Equipped with 15 tracks, led by “Matinee” and “90 Proof” with J. Cole, the album has additional features from TDE’s Doechii, Lucky Daye, Phoelix, Ravyn Lenae, Lil Uzi Vert, and a few others.

Press play and be sure to add Luv 4 Rent wherever you get music.
