When ash walker and Illa J join forces on a track, you know it’s going to be something special. Their latest collaboration, “What?!,” lives up to that expectation. It’s a smooth blend of lo-fi and conscious hip-hop, with an alternative twist that sets it apart from the mainstream. The track rides on a laid-back groove, with beats that feel like they’re floating on a late summer breeze. Illa J’s flow is as effortless as ever, blending introspective lyrics with a vibe that invites you to kick back and really listen. The production from ash walker perfectly complements this, bringing an organic, almost analog warmth to the whole track.

ash walker is known for his eclectic approach to music, blending elements from various genres to create something that’s uniquely his own. On “What?!,” he’s joined by Illa J, a Detroit-based artist who’s been carving out his own space in the hip-hop world, ever since stepping out of the shadow of his legendary brother, J Dilla. Illa J’s journey has been one of finding his own voice, and collaborations like this show just how far he’s come. The track also nods to the golden era of hip-hop, with influences from artists like Slum Village and Common, while still sounding fresh and contemporary.
