Originally completed in 2020, "Maybe in Nirvana" was intended to be the successor to Smino's 2018 album NOIR . However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused Smino to delay the release, feeling the project's "debaucherous" and high-energy tone didn't fit the global mood. Instead, he pivoted to record and release Luv 4 Rent in 2022.

The track could start with haunting guitar riffs reminiscent of Nirvana, transition into Smino's smooth rap verses, and feature a chorus where all elements come together in a powerful display of musical synergy. 'Hot' could describe not just the track's energy but the excitement of seeing such a diverse collaboration come to life.

St. Louis artist dropped his highly anticipated independent project, Maybe in Nirvana , on December 6, 2024 . The 10-track, 28-minute album serves as an essential sonic bridge in his catalog. Initially recorded in 2020 before his acclaimed 2022 album Luv 4 Rent , the project represents a raw, emotional "single-era" period of his life that he needed to share before moving forward.

Though brief, the tracklist is carefully curated, featuring minimal outside help to allow Smino’s independent voice to take center stage. He leans on close artistic chemistry over massive commercial features. Google Watch Action Data
