Chicago rapper Smino is enlisting two other fast-rising names in hip-hop: J.I.D. of J. Cole's Dreamville Records and nascent uber-producer Kenny Beats for the new song "Baguetti." Smino comes hard with the melodies and double-timed raps like few other artists, while J.I.D. more than keeps up. It's one of those all-too-rare collaborations in hip-hop with enough chemistry to make you pine for a full length (incidentally, Smino's already got a hip-hop supergroup: Ghetto Sage with Saba and Noname) Listen to "Baguetti" above and listen to Smino's previous full-length, She Already Decided, which dropped in April.
