Multi-Platinum producer and multi-instrumentalist Kaelin Ellis teams up with Chicago heavyweights Saba and Mick Jenkins on “Come and Go,” a sleek, genre-blurring single that cements all three artists as leaders in hip-hop’s next wave. Arriving ahead of Ellis’ forthcoming 2026 album, the track sets a confident tone for a project driven by groove, introspection, and sonic experimentation.
Ellis’ production is the track’s magnetic core, head-nodding blend of funk textures, jazz undertones, and futuristic hip-hop rhythms. Saba glides across the beat with ease, delivering tightly woven verses that echo the duo’s past chemistry on their fan-favorite collaboration “HEART.” Jenkins adds a cool, incisive contrast, pairing razor-sharp lyricism with his signature jazz-soaked flow. Their interplay feels effortless, a meeting point between soul and forward-thinking rap innovation.
With a résumé that includes collaborations with Lupe Fiasco, Danny Brown, Joyce Wrice, Logic, and the late Virgil Abloh, Ellis continues to expand what modern hip-hop production can be. “Come and Go” is a statement piece, and one that signals a boundary-pushing album on the horizon.
