Smino Hits ‘The Tonight Show’ With A Medley From ‘Luv 4 Rent’
St. Louis rapper and singer Smino gave an intimate live performance of tracks from his latest album, Luv 4 Rent on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Monday night (Nov. 7). He performed the singles “Lee & Lovie” and “Blu Billy.”
The 31-year-old began his set with slow and gentle stylings before transitioning into the more up-tempo track. “My baby got my undivided / Attention, shawty so cudiado,” he crooned on the love song, “Lee & Lovie.” On the anti-capitalistic “Blu Billy,” he raps: “I know hittas, I know dealers, I know girls that set up ni**as/ I know preachers, I know healers, and I really don’t feel no difference.”
