SMINO-LUV 4 RENT

The album contains production from Monte Booker, Phoelix, Groove, Kal Banx, Childish Major, and Cory Henry, among others. His first two studio albums were primarily handled by Booker and didn't contain samples, however this album makes use of samples including "Knock Knock" by Monica on "No L's". The song "90 Proof" was originally planned to be on J. Cole's album The Fall Off, but Smino later asked for the song back. He explained, "I thought about it and the whole time I knew it would be great for me, being on J. Cole’s album. When I was wrapping up the tracklist, though, I just felt like something was missing, and I put "90 Proof" right after my intro and it just sounded like they were meant for each other. So I just called Cole and asked him if I could get the song back and he let me." The first version of the song "Pro Freak" used the sample from J. Cole's "January 28th", but the owners didn't clear the sample. Later, DJ Dahi and Childish Major remade the final beat.^[4]
