On the surface, Smino (Christopher Smith Jr.) and Nirvana (Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic, Dave Grohl) share zero sonic DNA. Nirvana was abrasive, minimal, and angst-driven. Smino is lush, jazz-infllected, and joyfully complex—his voice slides across beats like a warm bass clarinet over a trap hi-hat.
