Opting to curb listener fatigue on the regular Friday release day, St. Louis rapper Smino drops off his follow up to his critically-acclaimed album blkswn, NØIR, a day early.

In conversation with Billboard this past October, Smino describes the album as “A record about the present … about life now,” adding “It’s an experience that is far more complex and challenging.”

An eclectic mixture of neo-soul and hip-hop, the 18-song effort features appearances and production from his Zero Fatigue collective (Bari, Monte Booker, Jay2, and Ravyn Lenae) along with verses from Valee and singer Dreezy.

Check out Smino’s NØIR, below.
