Give this man a tiny desk concert!

[@jarrodsaunders2666]

he did one with noname

[@byfarai]

He did one I think 2 years ago and they never dropped it

[@LegitHawaiian95]

He did one a while back but they scrapped it. Idk why

[@klezine8160]

PLEASE !!

[@chinortega3]

​@@LegitHawaiian95 wtf

[@bobbyhogo2342]

guy on the keys is criminally underappreciated here; piano and bass at the same time

[@keengkai8175]

Thank you for not saying “underrated” and using an intelligent substitute

[@JAHSEN2065]

that was crazy

[@JelaniEmbree]

Anyone know who he his?

[@aubindyer9054]

I think that’s Monte Booker. He’s a well known producer from Chicago and has produced a lot of Smino’s music.

[@junatan25]

on top of that, that bass sound be stanky

[@ri3706]

The background singers looked like they were having the most amazing time. 😂❤ Love this.

[@TheBleachboi]

Saw him on the hoopti tour in Brooklyn forever ago and he had the same team with the same energy

[@jayday825]

They are singing wit Smino! What do you think 😅

[@hamsterchick1291]

I was just saying this lol in vibing cuz they r vibing 😅

[@millionsaturn44]

I never realized that Smino would be the best artist to cover Roses but goddamn that was insane. Yall have GOT to put this on Spotify

[@benlogo2812]

@@ummmyeah8458 imagine reaching into your pockets so low you’re touching your ankles. Now being in your pocket in drumming terms means you found ya groove.

[@jadedone4237]

Bruh....those were some big shoes to fill. You can't just go doing an Outkast cover but you did that! This was a total vibe. Been an OUTKAST fan since ATLiens and this was probably one of the best OUTKAST covers I've ever heard.

[@theEman40000]

If you’re into house music Zhu did a good one covering a bunch of tracks in his style kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zoa2nmZ3ntF7n7csi=OypxhbLKN_kU4tz_

[@allenenriquez3677]

his voice/style is so fitting for this song. awesome cover

[@AssmanDaEldest]

Honestly sounds like 3k

[@coobapo]

Idk if Smino has gone on record to say that Andre 3000 is a main influence but honestly I'd say he's got the most similar vocals out there rn.

[@niqiiiguma5009]

@@coobapoyeah I hear so much of the OutKast’s influence in his music.

[@yezz-_-3570]

honestly thought his voice didn't really fit, 3k has a lot more range than smino portrayed here

[@madtonesbr]

@@yezz-_-3570the goal isn’t to do an imitation it’s to do a cover and put their own spin on it man.

[@mikaylacoulthard249]

The time it takes for these to go from KZbin to Spotify is criminal

[@Stungray22]

Abc employees 😂

[@YoRAHeem]

That’s why KZbin Premium is better.
