Smino's building off of the momentum he's built up over the past year. In 2017, the rapper won over the masses with his critically acclaimed album, blckswn and landed a spot as the opening act on both T-Pain and SZA's respective tours. Needless to say, he was busy. Smino's delivered a lot of guest features this year and dropped several music videos from older songs but today, he drops off his first single of the year with "NEW COUPE, WHO DIS?"
Smino and Mick Jenkins connect on their latest effort, "NEW COUPE, WHO DIS?" Smino and THEMpeople hold down the production on the track. It has a soulful feel to the production and both Smino and Jenkins body the track completely. Smino announced the song earlier this week. After his initial attempt to upload the song to SoundCloud, the rapper had to delay it's release to upload it to AudioMack. Fortunately, it's now available for your listening pleasures.
Quotable Lyrics
Killin' these n*ggas stylistically is a crack rock form
He speaks facts with the caps lock on
Hit 'em in the purse, I know that spirit hurts worse
Excuse my language, I know the truth sounds like curse words
