Smino is from a musical family, with his father playing keys, his mother singing, and his grandfather being a famous blues bassist. He began his musical career at seven when his father gave him a set of drums, which he played in his church’s band. He also started rapping around this time, forming the rap duo “Young Dumb and Outta Control” (YROC) with his friend Bari Allen. The duo released a self-titled mixtape and began to gain local popularity but had difficulties getting their music out into the world.
In 2012, Smino released his first solo mixtape, Smeezy Dot Com, and then moved to Chicago, Illinois, for college at Columbia College Chicago. While in Chicago, he met engineer Chris “Classik” Inumerable, who became his closest friend and is now his manager. In 2015, he released two EPs: S!Ck S!Ck S!Ck and blkjuptr. His debut studio album blkswn was released to critical acclaim on March 14, 2017, and his second studio album, NØIR, was released on November 8, 2018. His third studio album, Luv 4 Rent, was released on October 28, 2022.

Smino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Point to the sky
And swing like Sammy
My skin gold like
Who the fuck want a Grammy?
Put my bullshit in a box
And let it burn like candles
Tryna fuck Meagan Goode and Meagan Fox on camera
And your bitch so scandalous
300 for the kicks
Like Jesus wore sandals
But fuck it, I want the pounds
But fuck it, I want Phantoms
Like fuck it, I'ma be famous
Like fuck it, I'm a phantom, ay
They say I want the cheese, yeah
They say I want the cheese
Baby shoot for the stars
That's lemon squeeze
Yeah, you got a lot
Now lemme squeeze, ay
You want me
I want you and I want her
Baby girl, that's three, yeah
I pull up from like 40
Baby girl, that's three
I'm like Dezel in the Glory, ay
Can I see them brown eyes through them Cartiers?
Had to break the bitches up just like Jerry S
Told 'em put me on the logo
Just like Jerry West
Yeah I'm a fuckin' idol
Just like Ryan Seacrest
Me and shawty cut then
She had a C-section
Sometimes I feel like they're itching to throw them clamps on me
Hit 'em with the flea flicker, not a scratch on me
I added everything up had to subtract homies
Facts only, measured success and cooked from scratch
Woah lil shawty curvy, pussy on Kirby
I couldn't pass on it
Heard they know my name here to Berlin
She threw that ass on me
Ben and Jerry, young nigga servin'
She threw that ass on me
Her partner textin' her mad 'cause she in the back, lonely
Told her it take two to do bidness but three a damn company
Plus I got enough of this dick to make a new damn country
I done had enough of this shit so back to the damn money
Smino why the fuck you be playin'?
You know your ass love me
Said I want the cheese
Grilled up when I cheese
Yanno I gotta find the parmesan
And long for the provolone
'Cause when that feta on my fingertips
I feel like I'm the goat
Locked in niggas, be locked in the fuckin' studio
She on my digits tryna plan a visit
Make it conjugal oh oh
You want me
