Smino Uncorks New Single “Rice & Gravy”: Stream
<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-05-18T18:40:16+00:00“>May 18, 2021 | 2:40pm ET On Monday Smino teased a “new journey” on Twitter, and on Tuesday he took the first step with “Rice & Gravy”, his latest single with producer Monte Booker. The pair worked together as recently as last summer, when they dropped “Backstage Pass” featuring The Drums. Their chemistry is obvious, with Booker’s soulful production providing a rich backdrop for Smino’s smooth singing and cracked raps. “Rice & Gravy” keeps a woodwind riff bubbling on the stove, sprinkling in hand claps and stuttering drums for texture. “That’s what made me,” Smino croons, “Momma baby (Uh, uh), only son in her house/ She had to blame me, an...

Bleachers will also be hitting the road later this year on a 2021 tour. For the follow-up to 2017’s Gone Now, Antonoff handled almost everything in-house. That makes sense; Antonoff is the guy you hire to make your songs sound good, and those hefty paychecks might dry up if he starts outsourcing the wor...
