#223 - Smino

you know what I'm saying, get accomplished. How did you because like obviously you know, going back to those Dreamville session ship like that, would you say that that was kind of like the origins of you, like locking in with Cole and building that rapport with him. Yeah, that's how I really got to tap in with him. But Loki, I think my relationship with you like was my relationship

with Dreamville and Jim that's my boy. So yeah, bro, like Cole put up on gis like he was having a lock in just in La and just tap me and around and just called our folks. I'm like, nigga fucksot that's crazy and that's how it got cool. Bro. But of course the sessions down that made everybody way

more cool. He made a whole lot of niggas like brothers. Yeah, so it feels like I feel like everybody's It's like it was like a fraternity of whoever was able to like be lucky enough to be a part of those. Yeah nah for Shore Luck Fairhouse. Bro. Yeah real, I heard like Yannis was there. Man, I'm in there. I'm talking about Chris Bosh behind Chris. I heard Chris Bosh was making beats. Yeah, making beats and backwoods all kind

of shit, going crazy brouda. Chris was just standing behind me one because you would just be so in your bag you don't realize who running around that motherfucker. But yeah, Yannis Alden was in there. They was like nineteen at the time. What was Chris Bosh Like he was in the mud, chilling and he was making beats. He was telling everybody my name Chris playing we know buddy, Yeah nah, but like yeah one of my homies did. We was

on some funny shit. We on some Chris Bosh looking at us, nigga like you know what I'm saying were looking at him, but one of my ONMI didn't think he was really Chris Bosh, so he was just like, oh you you guys were like, yo, look at this Chris boshall come like Chris, but we fried like this ain't Chris Bosh. Niggas, you don't rap, but I guess he do well. He raps. I think he produced, he tapped. How are the beats? I ain't heard no Chris Boss beats.

I want to hear some Chris. But you know who has an NBA producer who had some of the worst beats I've ever heard that made it on the major labels or major albums. Chris Webber. He had a beat. He had a beat on NASA's Hip Hop Is Dead album that was so atrocious. Did you ever have supremes the shoot? You know what's funny is I'm from the West Coast, so god, I was a little more popping on the West Coast, but then never I never could do it. DND spin that was the latroal spree wheel, spreewheel.

That was an era Supreme. I ain't had no doubt. You didn't have any you know, I mean you know that you know who's dope. Javial McGee's a dope producer. Javille McGee, cool peeple. It was bro and he's got the beats. Yeah down in Phoenix right now right not anymore. He's with the Mavericks now, my son. Yeah, he got signed in the off season unfortunately this this year. Yeah, this off season. Yeah, that's cool. But I ain't know

that Nigga might be but it makes sense. He had hit me up before, just on something like what's good. But I feel like everybody in the league that hit me up, they probably might museic now that I think about it. That's hard. So what is your team in Saint Louis the Celtics. That's interesting. Signed Louis Celtics. Yeah, you know how we coming? Man? I was at the finals guy last year? Man, my boy j T. You know what I'm saying, Wayne, Wayne bringing home. But we're

gonna bring a home next time. You know what I'm saying. So, I mean, listen, man, the coach is out there bringing it home for sure. Well you wildace hell a man, I don't know what the cy bro he may. I don't know what he may is outside, Bro, I think he's gonna be outside of the couch. But you know, God blessed, No damn couch. That boy got money. He good. Yeah, you're right, it's a nice couch. That couch A Bellini for sure. A Leani coach. I only had one experience

in Saint Louis. I went out there in like twenty eleven, maybe maybe twenty it was twenty eleven. I went out there. There's a radio station out there that tried to hire me. A guy named Boogie D was out there. I turned the job down, but that night I ended up Freddie Gibbs Ninth Wonder and Rhapsody had to show that LRG sponsored, and it was not a popping show. It was kind of it was kind of whatever. But after that, me and Fred went to East Saint Louis and we went

to a place called the Pink Slip. You was at the slip? Yes, a man, he was in the slip. They had you in the Pink Slip. Yeah, what's up? You had fun? I had a great time. Is that is that? Have you been to the Pink Slip? Yeah? I don't even think the slip open, no mode is it close? Yeah? I had been to the slip in a line man that's some old school shit. I ain't did that in a minute, But I ain't lived in Saint Louis in a waild too. But nigga, that's so you you was in he was also Sat Luis ship.

But East Saint Louis different state Illinois. Lewis correct for people who don't know. East Saint Louis is in Illinois. Yeah, that's Illinois straight up. In the Saint Louis and Saint Louis is Saint Louis US. We don't claim Missouri Saint Louis US site and it's East Saint Louis, Illinois. You don't claim Missouri. Yeah, that's a rare state. Were blue city, I guess or something like that. But we don't really

be fucking with the whole Missouri. Well that shit real Rice isn't fucked up out there, bro, straight up, I've heard Missouri terrible. I mean, it's it's like a swing state. So there's like all all sides of the coin there, right, Like you said, like the Saint Louis is probably a blue city. It's definitely a swing states for a reason. Yeah, Saint Louis black Kansas City too, Like a lot of you know what I'm saying, Saint Louis, Kansas City, but

shit even more south. Saint Louis shot my case niggas though how far ist Casey from St. Louis a couple of hours. It's a little dry like when you're growing up, right, Obviously Saint Louis has had a successful rap scene. Shout out to now he shot at the Saint luiacas Chingy j Quan been going on the yeah, and then like obviously Kansas City has like Tech nine and the strange music shit going on. How influenced were you by just

all that ship in general? I was influenced by the Lunatics and Nelly on some how to rip Saint Louis, you know what I'm saying, And uh, I think I was influenced by my city in the same way Nelly was. Like where I'm from, it was like some soulful ship like our parents listened to, like a whole bunch of like old soulful ship. Like we all grow up in church. If you're from the hood, you you was going to church, or you was by church, or it was some people

from church people around you. So you feel me, all that shit kind of just inspire all that singy ship. You know what I'm saying, that bluesy ship. You know. Yeah, I think Nelly uh successfully probably did like real melody and hip hop before most people before everyone doing this shit pick up the drugs down. It's like one of the hardest Nelly songs ever. Bro Loving Me Bro and Free City was an underrated album. Yeah, Free City hard too to Murphy Lee Man, shout to the whole? Who

else was from? Shot out to murder Dirty Man, real nigga. He's vegan too, he's vegan. Are you vegan? No? Yeah? Good for you? Nah, I couldn't do it, man, Yeah, I think he's vegan. Shit, he looks vegan nowadays. Have you thought about going vegan? I eat some vegan meals. I'm just not gonna go all the way vegan. I feel like it's like a clean sting, like I just eat, you know what I'm saying, Like I be like a week. Yeah, when I've been bullshitting with the tequila too hard, you

feel me? I think tequila's vegan. It's a guy for shure for show. Damn they're vegan, but all lick a vegan bro, I would hope. So yeah, like all lick vegan bro, Like is this somebody because you said it? Like you know if I can drinking tequila too, But is honey hendershy is just grapes, you know what I'm saying. So it's like all this ship is fruit. You're a tequila man nowadays. Yeah. I used to be a cognyak nigga. I'm a tequila nigga. It's a different drunk, isn't it.

I just I feel like conyac for when you are alone, because the white koyak make me tired and ready to be gone and out. That's I feel. That's why people fight when they off here and ship, because they be down to tired. It's a violent drunk. It was a little more fun happy drunk, happy drunk. Oh god, yeah,

I do all drunk. I think something about the pandemic put tequila on in a new way with like you know, the Colossa and the Costa migos and took off on the shout out to George Coody colony, George Cody, that's that's his We was drinking forty two in the panty dold clone. Yeah. I don't know where where they came from. With that cost. But we was drinking forty two heavy right before that ship. Everybody little price, Yeah, forty little overrated.

They came with that price. Overrated. It's about the bottle. It's good, No, it's good. It is smooth and drunk a whole bottle of that ship at my birthday party. Damn yeah crazy. It must have been a rough night, huh man, I wasn't at all. I was drinking water in between. Bro, that's smart. Drank Jason. You know you're a professional when you take your shot and then you take a big, big gop of water and then you just do that the whole night. You should be all right.

I've done it, got OCD. Bro. I can't be remotely thirsty, So I just drink water a lot. Yeah you are you o CD with all aspects of life or just hell, just water, Like like if I'm thirsty. When I'm thirsty, I can't even go to bed without seeing a bottle of water first, Like I gotta see it, not go to sleep. But I can't eat unless like I'll run out of a drink at a restaurant. I've stopped eating until the refill. I have to have a drink with my food at all times. Why you be scared you're

gonna need the home liquor? Nah, just it's just I don't know, bro, It's just I just like to eat with with drinks. I feel it. I mean I feel it for people who don't know Saint Louis because when I went there, it was green, it felt like real historic, like it felt like, uh, it's just I never seen that, like Saint Louis. It's pretty, bro, it's a real pretty shitty. But but it's also I was gonna say, it's also like tops the list all the time of like some

of the deadliest city he's in America. Yeah, it's definitely a place that, like I think probably gets overlooked naturally in terms of like just the scene and just kind of what's going on there, Like what would you for you like being like on the forefront of the new Saint Louis. I guess who's some of the artists some of the groups whoever that you you you know, are taking up to that are from out there, man from

Saint Louis. Oh shit, I personally work with a few people. Well, one of my homies, my boy j Baby the Grady had my boy Bari. Of course, I always his niga named Jordan Ward. He's super tight. He from Saint Louis. He's singing a little different shit. I'm real tapped in with, like, uh, like the side of Saint Louis that you probably wouldn't expect to be there. You feel me? Which about me? You know what I'm saying about. But I don't know, bro,

it's a whole. It's just so much shit going on in the low right now, bro, Like literally it's I went. I was just down in Saint Louis for a week. You feel me for the first time in a minute, Like I ain't been able to go home for a minute. You feel me. But I was just down there for a week for a while, and I booked the studio and shit, and I was just like, damn, bro, you

feel me. Like all my partners I went to school with, theyre the ones that got the studios now, like they the ones they got the speaks for you know what I'm saying. So yeah, it's cool to see that shit niggas producing niggas doing all kind of cool shit. So hopefully it'll be my niggas come out the cub. You feel me and the year to Come. I ain't say yours. I said the year to Come too. Oh God, what up y'all? We got to stop the interview to tell you about our new sponsors, our family at har Dean,

Blew my whole fucking face off in the best way. Hardan,

I called that shit love for Rent, cause yeah, I don't know what. We try and shot out you feel me? That's where I said right now, we just try and shot out love for real, like basically like it's it's really supposed to be. Like the whole concept is what I told what I what I I already

said this shit, but i'm'a say it again. The whole concept is like, way is it you feel me? I give love out to the point where I have enough to get that shit back to myself, you feel me? Mm And uh, I kind of wrote it from that perspective, but like I wasn't tryna be so like what you call it, uh introspective about love more so just honest about like my my real actions and what I was doing in the time while I was affected by that feeling. If that makes sense, that makes sense. Yeah, so you

gotta have that water. Yeah, yeah, always gotta stay hydrated, man. But yeah, that's what love for rent about. That shit fired me though. It's real far. It's a great name. Yeah, yeah, it's real far outside of j Cole any other features. First of we got a whole lot of features. Uh actually a lot of cool motherfuckers on the album. Give it's one, we get one one? Uh? Who who? Who? I think? Give me a rapping ass motherfucker that's on your album? A rap feature? That just a rap someone

who could wrap their ass off. I know somebody's wrapping their ass off on that album. Oh shit me. And then uh, I say a little uzzy oozzi okayz rapkay UZZI rapping on my ship. I think USI's rapping up. I think Oozzi be getting like not enough credit in terms of like how good are you rap? Because he could sing, he singing and ship he got like other ideas. So I feel like, you know when you ain't no rapping ass, this is what I do. I rap, and I want to rap better than you ass. Nigga. People

gonna try to play that's me ship. Most fucker were trying to play me. Bro, I promise you everything I love. I probably gonna say it cold as ship the most niggas. But I sang that shit, so it come across like you feel me how it come across? But how did you and Newsy link up? He liked my song I deserved he had posted the balloons for the video and shit and uh shit, I just randomly was smoking outside the studio. I was in the studio with a sober and no id. I was outside smoking this shit. This

nigga black truck just pulled up. I'm damn but like stop next to me. Then nigga jumped out. This was just nigga oozy and shit and he was in the room next to me. So he walked in the room and shit, I went in with him. I was like, Bro, I got this song, and I said, John, I am in a hook DILND player for y'all, played it for him and Nigga did this shit and he hopped on it. I was leaving to go go to a little dinner and shit, before I got out the uber for dinner,

he sent me the song. Jesus that Nigga did that like ten minutes. Shit. Wow hard though. I love how you just passed over like you were in with no Ida and you know, no Ideas one of my favorite producers of all time. So shout out to no Id, no Idea and Sabor working on eight thime. There you were just there. I would wrapping my ass up in there to it, though, shout out to shout out to no I, d who else. The coldest thing about no Idea is that the nigga named Dion And it took

me so long to know that. That's so hard. It is hard. That's ship genius. It is genius. Chicago, Nigga. Shout out to Chicago. Shout out to who's who's handling production on this album. Any any producers that you can shout out, I mean, yeah, Monty Booker, my boy Groovy, he did the groove, did this nighty proof that just came out. Yeah, my boy Felix, Kyle Banks shout as Merger and myself, them the producers. It's all internal ship.

Am I missing somebody? That's that's I think it's I think that's when you like can handle some of your own production, is it? Like you know, we think of some artists who kind of came in the game as producers, and then there's guys like Jay Cole or krit who like we have been doing both kind of the whole time,

but like they're more known as an artist. Would you ever produce for other artists or like even like hell yeah, go down that avenue where you like make it a thing where you're like pitching beats to like artists, and shit, I wouldn't pitch beats. I mean, everybody's ever been in the studio with me, understand Uh hot what I do in the studio, you know what I'm saying? So right, I think it'll be more of a thing where I'm just like, let's just lock in see what you're trying

to do. Let me let me try to help help steer the ship on some creatively with you. Yeah, let's just figure it out. That's what I'd be like, I love working with people in collapse. I think I did like thirty fucking collapse last year. I'm on a lot of albums. I've been out of town. It's crazy. I kept going to uh we was in Atlanta and New York wherever. But everybody on tour right now. So shit, I've been just performing a bunch with the homies and shit. So that shit got me thirsty for tour. That got

me back there. You got a tour coming up? Heah yeah, yeah, announcing soon, Loki uh any damn day now. Yeah, we' finna announce it with the album and all that. Are you had learning? Yeah, but I'm doing like a it's like a like a cod head Line vibe.

Who's your favorite It's been a pretty dope year for music outside of your album that has not come out yet. What's your favorite album of the year or your favorite albums of the year? Steve Lacy, Steve Lacy's incredible. Damn let me look at my phone, bro, I gotta see what canna listen to, But it'd be so much shit going on in my head cause I've really been fucking with.

There's been some great ones. I think Forever Stories up there. Kendrick's album I like, Yeah, I like I like Jed album a lot too, and New Freddy Gibb's album is crazy. I ain't heard him the New Freddy yet. That shit just dropped right triple last year. That it's hard Steve like She and when that one album come out from them Bulls, Can I call you Ruse? That that was that this year? I think that dropped this year. Man. Something in the indications. Man, what's stay nine? Bro? There's

been some salt. It's some Cycle Sauce. Oh yeah, the Cycle Sauce. My bad, my bad. Hold on, I gotta see if it's yeah, these niggas drop. If this drop this year, this might be my Yeah, yup, the Psycle Sauce. Bro. I don't even understand why this ship this fire but this ship fi but they got five shit. Uh. But Steve like She probably had the most interesting shit to me this year, cause yeah, he's a very unique artists.

I feel like he's got a dope that just it doesn't remind me of many people, you know what I mean. That's very It's kind of like you. I feel like you guys are very one and the same in terms of just like when I hear you, I know it's you. Yeah, And there's not a lot of people that can sound that sound like you before or after. You know. That's the type of yeah I feel with Steve Site stage, probably not have my favorite shit. Yeah. Shout out to him, man,

shout out to him. Uh, do you feel like with like now that we've kind of gotten over the pandemic, was there anything that you were missing as an artist during that time that is kind of like kind of adjusted the way you're looking at the music business because you know a lot of artists they they depended on going and getting bags at the club or the live shows, or you know, we heard of a lot of artists

like who were kind of hurting during the pandemic. Was there anything that like you kind of took from the pandemic that you're able to kind of apply to your your business model as an artist now moving forward, or anything you learned. I feel like, bruh, I was pushing through the pandemic super smooth. Like I don't know, I probably just got more. If anything, I got just more detailed, Like I know more about my actual business, like my

everything that goes on it's important. Yeah, I know more about my shit like than anything, Like I know about every part. But I say that's it because through the pandemic we was good. I actually I was decent in the pandemic. Bro, Like I'm because you know what I'm saying, Like, I built a brand outside of just being a rapper, so through that shit, I can like it's like another just whole thing. Bro Like that's like a whole different life for me. Like I sell hoodies, I sell clothes

and shit like that. So that shit brings a whole different type of thing to my revenue in my whole other revenue stream. Yeah, so that's pandemic proof. I mean, I think music is pandemic proof. Is pandemic proof. But however boring though, touring is not. Yeah, and it was like touring my favorite part of this shit, touring in the studio, all the shit in between that turns into business. I hate that shit. I hate music business. I hate the business. I love the fact that, you know what

I'm saying, I'm able to exist in this shit. And I've been on for about five six years now, like sign you know what I'm saying, I was within the scope now with more time. Shout out to them, But like you know what I'm saying, I think the business is kind of it just affixed the talent at all times, Like for a lot of people I did a lot of I guess that a better way to answer your question is I did a lot of like uh like purifying myself for the bullshit from the business and cleansing

my motherfucker mind from that shit. And like, I think my album turned in a better direction because I feel like the album I was finna drop like while I was still in the role like before the pandemic, and shit was just like it's been a few years since we had an album, man, yeah, like four years. It's crazy. That motherfucker just was more so like, oh yeah, nigga, I'm feel to be the biggest Like I felt it like I felt like I felt my momentum. I'm like

this shit gonna go crazy. I'm like my next shit going crazy. So I think I made songs that was gonna like sound good, like to the world, apposed to just like going inward, like let me like trying to make my ba. So this is like the album We're Gonna Get is kind of like the second iteration of an album third the third version of Man, this album.

So it's funny because this album I'm talking about is all the way mixed and mastered by that nigga Ali you know, yeah, I know, ya know, Ali, Bro it's it's mixed and massive and Ship, like we mixed and mastered another album, which is the album that's coming after this love album and Ship, So you already have albums in the can just ready to go. Here. You think I've been doing bro like it's been four years, Like I've been in the studio. Niggas be like you need

to run to the studio drop the album. I'm like, man, bit shut up. I've been in the studio every day, Like you feel me, I don't for us. I'm a go So this album comes out how much longer before you drop the other one? I ain't ain't so that that was not on purpose though, like the whole thing, like I said, I switched labels. You feel me and

a lot of people like going through label ship. Hell no, we haven our way really Like it's more so just like I was just trying to be smart and like build a rapport with the people that I'm gonna be working with next. And I ain't trying to just be stepping because I've seen how I wasn't really like able to move how I wanted to in the last Ship. Because you feel me. If everybody ain't on the same page, it don't work. And like I said, like I learned a lot about the business and what to what to

use and what to not use. You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I think sometimes like when you're an artist and you're on a major label, you have a team, like, and all you're doing is worrying about the creative part. Sometimes shit gets kind of like like faster the cracks, whether it's like features, whether it's like you know, certain communication with other people's camps. Because I always hear that shit.

We'll be like, y'all, I was at the studio with so and so and now now his now his label ain't clearing the record, and it's like yo, sometimes like that really ain't got shit to do with the artists business. Be weird, bro, Were's so many songs that ain't gonna come out to job. Motherfuckers never going here because niggas just one clear shit And would you just be down to leak that ship? I'll be obviously not you, but like an anonymous DJ man, I don't I don't know

that's sounding in criminating, bro. I don't know, but I missed the days where we used to just get random like songs leaked with like hello, fucking random like websites drops all over them. Man, that shit scared me, bro, copy like fuck, they didn't got my ship, bro? What else they got? Like fu burn the Oye cloud. Have you ever had anyone to leak any of your ship? Yeah? Bro, they leaked, uh some ship. One of the songs that's on the song got leaked. But it's cool. Ship, It's fine.

I'm like that shit so far. So how does how do you think that happens? Because nowadays people text songs so often. I'm not gonna say how I think it happened. I tell you to the side because if I tell you how I think it happened, a nigga might not have thought like that and be like, oh okay, I think like it happens a lot because people will recorded studios and then when they leave, they just leave the session and they're on a car. That's what I was

gonna say, White, Why you getting them game? Bro? Nah? What was gonna say? Look, I have a recording studio. We're sitting in my studio. Now you know how many artists have recorded Like I mean, I've had like major artists record here. Yeah, and then nine months later their team reaches out and be like, hey, could we get our sessions from last year? And I'm like, y'all didn't take them nine months ago, but obviously I give it

to it. But it's like the fact that, like I like this dude's half of this dude's album has been sitting on my fucking computer. Thank got it to me who had it, But like, you know, some of these studios people be working in are fucking weird engineers period interns. Whoever we could have got deleted? That don't even worse.
