Smino Receives Lifetime Award From Harvard’s Black Men’s Forum
The Harvard Black Men’s Forum (BMF) was started in the 1970s by students who wanted to create a safe space for Black men on the campus of the famed Ivy League school, Harvard University. The organization was revitalized in 1999 and has grown to become one of the most recognized and celebrated organizations at the esteemed institution.
According to Broadway World, the ceremony occurred at The Harvard Club of Boston during its Annual Brotherhood Banquet. The event recognizes influential figures who positively impact the Black community in and out of the music industry. A Black Men’s Forum representative recognized the songwriter by saying, “The Brotherhood Banquet never fails to be the highlight of our time here at Harvard, and having Smino be a part of our history only serves to further our mission as an organization.”
The media outlet also reported that Smino, who has appeared alongside artists such as Chance the Rapper, Doja Cat, Ari Lennox, and Lucky Daye on various records, is currently finishing up his latest project, titled Maybe In Nirvana, although no release date has been set. The album is the follow-up to his last album, Luv 4 Rent, released on Motown Records on Oct. 28, 2022.
