Those weerdos are at it again. Apparently this is what you get when you combine two ‘09 CL Best of Atlanta winners Hollyweerd with a featured artist from CL’s ‘09 Music Issue A. Leon Craft).

(MP3 no longer available on the site)

A lyrical romp over haunting strings and 808 bass, “So What” is the second leak from SMKA’s highly-anticipated (thanks to this track) re-up, The 808 Experiment Vol. 2.

And the execution is killer - from 808 Blake’s track to A. Leon’s hook to Tuki batting clean-up on the last verse. It’s always good to see MVPs from the same scene come together and score.

Suggestion: Do not dare press play unless you’re prepared to be stuck on rewind for the rest of the night.

Vol. 2 is due in January. In the meantime, check out SMKA’s recently released full-length collaboration with Trimm (Trimm Meets SMKA).
