American DJ and producer Diplo joins emerging electronic producer d00mscrvll and Florida rapper Kodak Black for a new single titled “Loitering.” The track is set for release this week and originates from the d00mscrvll project. Production credits list Diplo, Dyryk, Nitti, MAKJ, and Daniel Etienne. The release will come via the d00mscrvll imprint and Black 17 Media, LLC. This collaboration bridges distinct genres, connecting Diplo’s mainstream dance and pop reach with Kodak Black’s gritty, street-informed rap style. Diplo, born Thomas Wesley Pentz, has a decades-long career defined by genre exploration. He founded the major label Mad Decent and achieved global success with projects like Major Lazer and LSD. His work spans producing for pop stars to exploring country music, demonstrating consistent trend-setting influence.

Kodak Black, born Bill Kapri, rose from the South Florida rap scene with a flow that is both melodic and raw. His career includes several charting albums and singles like “Tunnel Vision,” but has also been marked by significant legal challenges. His lyrical content often reflects a life of street violence, paranoia, and materialism. The inclusion of d00mscrvll as both an artist and the project’s namesake suggests this may be a flagship release for the newer producer. The multi-producer team, featuring names like Dyryk and Nitti, indicates a track built with layered, high-energy electronic production designed to complement a rap vocal. The three-minute length is standard for a cross-genre single aiming for streaming and playlist addition.
This type of collaboration is strategic. It allows Diplo to tap into the visceral energy of hip-hop, provides Kodak Black with a novel, high-production platform beyond traditional rap beats, and offers d00mscrvll substantial visibility. The title “Loitering” suggests themes of hanging around, lurking, or existing in a space without clear purpose, which aligns with Kodak Black’s lyrical tendencies. For listeners, the track presents a clash of aesthetics: Diplo’s polished, festival-ready sound meets Kodak’s unfiltered, often dark storytelling. The success of such a fusion depends on whether the production frames the rap verses effectively or if the elements feel disjointed. It represents a continued blurring of lines between electronic dance music and hip-hop, a space Diplo has often occupied, now with a notably raw vocalist at the forefront.
