Whether you knew it or not, Smoko Ono’s production is an integral part of the sound of contemporary Chicago hip hop. The GRAMMY nominated songwriter has quietly built a lasting career and has features with the likes of Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa, Cordae, and more. He’s tapped British electronic producer, SG Lewis, for his latest release, “Moonlight,” which is a bit of a departure from his more hip hop focused catalog.
“Moonlight” is a smooth synthwave cross-over track that features silky smooth vocals from R&B singer Rich. SG Lewis lends a gentle, dance-inspired touch full of warm synths, bass swells, and futuristic drums. “Moonlight” is on a plane of its own as Smoko Ono orchestrates a completely unique sounding production.
