Following the release of his new album, Maybe in Nirvana, St. Louis rapper Smino has announced a U.S. tour and will return to Charlotte (The Fillmore) with up-and-coming rapper Tennessee-born, LA-based artist Samara Cyn on May 22.
Smino, who is the founder of the music collective Zero Fatigue with members Bari, Monte Booker, Jay2, and Ravyn Lenae, is also a part of the supergroup Ghetto Sage with Chicago rappers Saba and Noname.
He released his debut studio album, blkswn, in 2017 to critical acclaim, and Maybe in Nirvana (his fourth release) follows 2018’s Noir and 2022’s Luv 4 Rent. Known for his unique lyrical style and experimental neo-soul/hip-hop musicality, Smino has also performed at several major festivals including Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Governor’s Ball.
Samara Cyn, who is also known for her distinctive voice and lyrical style, and often compared to Smino, released her debut EP, The Drive Home, on October 25.
Presale for the Kountry Kousins tour begins Tuesday, December 10 at 12 p.m. (code: ToGoPlate and JOY) with tickets going on sale to the general public on Friday, December 13 at 10 a.m.
