adidas-sponsored skater Na-Kel Smith is focusing on one of his other talents, with the notable polymath now releasing a new single called “Warzone.” The track showcases Smith’s rap skills and features a bouncy trap-like beat made by Black Noi$e. The video has a caption that says “skate world tour coming soon,” so there’s no word on whether the song is part of a wider project or simply a tester song to gauge reaction.

The last we saw of Na-Kel, he was making an appearance as part of the Illegal Civilization crew. The video, while notable for Smith, also had a Jonah Hill cameo, seen at around the 33 second mark.
