The landscape of underground hip-hop sees a significant reunion as Datkid, a standout member of the Split Prophets, joins forces once again with the prolific producer Illinformed. This latest collaboration, titled “Smoked Out,” marks a pivotal moment for fans who have been waiting for the duo to reconnect since the release of Datkid’s full-length project, Wakmo, over five years ago.
Illinformed has been on a relentless streak of production, recently lending his signature sound to Ramson Badbonez for the singles “Animos City” and “1 to 10.” His ability to craft gritty, atmospheric soundscapes remains a cornerstone of the High Focus Records aesthetic. By bringing Datkid back into the fold, the producer reinforces the chemistry that made their previous work so memorable.
“Smoked Out” serves as a testament to the enduring partnership between these two artists. With Datkid’s sharp delivery and Illinformed’s masterful production, the track captures the raw energy that has defined their respective careers. As they continue to push the boundaries of the genre, this reunion serves as a reminder of the impact that consistent, high-quality collaboration can have on the underground scene.
