Smino in Concert
Captivating rapper and singer-songwriter Smino employs a full band and backup singers for his live show, bringing lush life to songs like "Anita" and "Wild Irish Roses." It's a deeply felt mix of hip-hop, neo-soul, funk, electronic music and hard rock. Since releasing the S!Ck S!Ck S!Ck and blkjuptr EPs in 2015, Smino has slowly built a fan base through touring and recordings that fuse his eclectic influences with the cutting-edge electronic beats of Monte Booker. He supported Mick Jenkins on the A Quest for Love tour in 2016, SZA on the CTRL tour in 2017 and T-Pain on the Acoustic tour later that year. The second half of his third headlining trek, the Hoopti tour, follows a pair of triumphant appearances at Coachella 2019.
Smino Background
Smino, born Christopher Smith Jr., was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, but found his hip-hop community in the bustling independent rap scene of Chicago. Smith was raised in a musical family, hearing gospel and smooth jazz on the radio. His dad played keys, his mom sang and his cousin Drea Smith is a singer who ended up in bands like He Say/She Say and Pyyramids. Smith played drums in church, began rapping in middle school and eventually released music under his birth name. Later taking the name Smino — a blend of his surname and the Nino Brown character from the film New Jack City — he released a pair of EPs in 2015, garnering attention and guest spots from fellow post-genre rap artists like Saba and Noname. His debut, blkswn, was named one of the best rap albums of the year by Rolling Stone and Complex. His 2018 follow-up, NØIR, featured appearances by Valee and Dreezy. He's a member of the Zero Fatigue collective, which includes producer Monte Booker, singer Ravyn Lenae and rappers Bari and Jay2.
10/10 overall experience. Familiar with this venue and always have a great time
I went to the concert alone & felt completely safe & comfortable which is super important to me since I’m one of the girlies. Smino was phenomenal so was Cyn! 10/10 highly recommend! The money was well spent he preformed for at least 2hrs, we got songs from every Smino era…set list was great 🫶🏾. BUY THE TICKETS NEOW
This concert honestly was amazing. Not only did he have live vocals but his own live band & DJ. All of which I feel are a rarity nowadays. He wasn’t just singing but interacting with the crowd & had a great set. He has consistently been at the top of my Spotify wrapped for years, so I am not claiming to be unbiased but I was truly amazed. Wonderful show, and my husband who barely knows one song said the same. HELL YEAH SMI!
The venue was great. Acoustics were perfect for each performer. With such warm weather, we were expecting to be uncomfortably hot inside with so many people in one place, but the opposite was true.
It was a great show started right on time and the Fillmore was packed! Happen to find some standing room on the side of the stage that had great views I preview the setlist and I was excited to hear my favorite songs this was my 3rd time seeing Smino and I would definitely go again!
Smi was a great performer, got all the good songs, great value tickets. 100%! Would go again
Great show! Venue couldve been bigger and air conditioned
Tagged along with a friend so I wasn’t super familiar with his catalogue. But it was a great show. Lively crowd energy and Smino has lit stage energy. Also really enjoyed the openers. The venue had a great setup too, Joy theater might be my new fav venue for shows. Overall 10/10 experience
Live band and performance was so good I need a copy of the live performance or a live album recording of the concert!
I had never heard of Smino before. My coworker/friend had invited me to go with him along with a few others and I said I was down to go. I ended up having a really great time aside from someone spilling their drink on me and not apologizing. But the music was AMAZING even the openers. Samara Cyn was so mesmerizing. I had never heard of her either but she was so good. Smino’s performance was amazing. I loved the vibes I loved the sound of his music. It was just so cool overall. He definitely gained a new fan last night. I hope he continues to do what he’s doing and I hope all 3 performers keep growing and are successful in life
LIT!!!!! He did his t’ing. Really enjoyed the show. LET’S GEAUX, SMiiii!!!!!!
The show was great; his energy was positive and he entertained, his band was great as well as his dancers. What’s bothersome is the indoor, nonstop smoking that’s allowed and encouraged. You leave reeking of reefer smoke and no one respecting the ask to stop; then one song he advised them to fire up a fat one. It’s not a show for all ages as described and be sure to check the facilities indoor smoking policy if you are a non smoker or just looking to enjoy a show with your family.
This was definitely a unforgettable experience! He really loves his city and they love him back for sure. Seemed like Everyone knew each song he played and he gave it his all each time!
Incredibly talented artist, all around a beautiful performance. Him and his crew always puts on a memorable show. 100% worth seeing in person every time. Much love 💛
I love this man so much!! The show was amazing!!! 10/10 would recommend
The experience was amazing. From meet and greet to concert, the process was smooth and easy. The concert itself was phenomenal from the openers to the music and vibes and of course the performance from Smino himself. Everyone seemed to be having a great time.
He’s a great performer. Saw him back in January and the vibes were amazing all around. Hands down one of my favorite concerts would definitely go again!!
I had an amazing time at the concert. The energy was amazing and the performance was EVERYTHING. Smino really put on a show and gave us so much versatility. I truly love him and his energy sm. I have never had such a good time as I did Saturday night. It was an amazing concert, full of beautiful people, and put on by beautiful people. They also surprised the crowd with Earthgang so I DEFINITELY went crazy😭
Great sound system, beautiful venue, sick preformance!! Such a great night go see smino !
Smino is an amazing performer and he just keeps getting better. It was dope to see him soaking up the love and good energy from his hometown. He sung his tail off. Schènay Mosley also sung her tail off. He was intentional about doing songs off his new album at home and they loved it! I loved the staging aspects a skits as well. 10/10 from me. And the night ended with so much love, it was beautiful.
