Jhené Aiko and Kendrick Lamar are reconnecting musically with “So Good,” a new collaboration featured on Aiko’s latest album, Westside Whimsy. The track marks another chapter in the longtime creative relationship between the two Los Angeles artists, who have previously collaborated on “Growing Apart (To Get Closer)” and “Stay Ready (What a Life).”

The mid-tempo track, titled “So Good” and written by Lamar, sees the pair swapping verses and combining their voices. “I can’t let a messy bitch get in my way/ I’m way too grown plus I’m top rank,” Aiko croons. “Who was popping it til they got spanked/ West side, everything Pipe, pipe, pipe it up/ Ghetto intellectual, swerving through the jet fuel, breaking down the decimals.”
Westside Whimsy also features collaborations with Larry June, Ab-Soul, Tyga, and OHMA. The 20-track album is Aiko’s follow-up to her 2020 effort, Chilombo. Earlier this year, the singer described the LP to Rolling Stone as “a lifestyle.” “It’s not a project,” she said. “It’s a lifestyle. Everything I do is that — you’ll see.”
