Regardless, “Noir” is a passable sophomore effort from an artist that I think is gonna keep steadily improving. Not only would it have helped the album’s all-around quality, it would’ve shaved a good chunk of time off of this too. There’s 6 or 7 songs worth of “fat” that could’ve easily been trimmed off of this project. It’s length is it’s biggest detriment by far. But it’s not as conceptual as the work of his peers. Hop Hip Album 2018 Poster Cover Noir Smino Soul 32x32 24x24 12x12 Print Art, Vintage Nautical Home Dcor Posters & Prints-will make you satisfied. I enjoyed it for the most part, don’t get me wrong. Aside from that, Smino is interesting enough to carry a song solo. She takes over the song’s latter half and it makes for one of the best songs on the album. The only feature worth commending is Ravyn Lenae on “MF Groove”. There are moments like “Z4L” or “Krushed Ice” where they go a step further and kill the song for me as a whole. Most of the time, the ones on here just fail to add anything. This album does itself a big favor by having only a few features. It’s nowhere near as good, but it’s almost Frank Ocean-esque. (Or the hook he provided on Drake’s “Blue Tint”) I do commend him for trying unconventional things, though. The hook on “Klink” is way too reminiscent of Future’s “la-di-da-di-da” mishap for my liking. Even I have my moments where I wasn’t loving it. In fact, it may not appeal to the majority of audiences.
The places he takes his vocals on this album are definitely not gonna appeal to everyone. Much like Earthgang, Smino at times can be a very acquired taste. As a fan of them, that’s something I’m happy to hear. However, his cadence and flows just carry a very similar tone. This isn’t to say I find Smino’s music derivative of Earthgang because content wise, it doesn’t compare. He can mimic the styles of both Johnny Venus and Doctor Dot pretty well. The best way I can describe him is as a one-man Earthgang.
There are a lot of artists that blend singing with rapping, but Smino is one of the more interesting people to do it.

I’ve heard him on several features, but this is the first full project I’ve heard from him.ĭoes his latest project keep up with those of his contemporaries? Out of all the artists making their way out of that area, I must admit Smino is the one I’m least familiar with.
The year of Chicago artists continues with the release of Smino’s latest album, “Noir”.
