The torchbearers of a legendary hip-hop dynasty are back. After six years, 2nd Generation Wu is set to release their highly anticipated group single, ‘Inevitable,’ on July 9th, 2025. The track reunites the crew, blending sharp lyricism and modern production while honoring the Wu legacy.
After the MTV Family Legacy docuseries aired on Paramount+, 2nd Generation Wu felt inspired to come back together. Seeing their family stories shared with the world reminded them of the bond they had through music and history. The others decided it was time to reunite and build on what their fathers started.
The production on Inevitable is a powerful collaboration between DTezMacho, Agent Blurr, and INF3RKNO — the long-running alter ego of Dontaé Hawkins. Together, they craft a dark, cinematic soundscape layered with hard drums, haunting melodies, and gritty textures that perfectly match the collective’s raw energy. This marks the first official introduction of INF3RKNO to the public, bringing Hawkins’ deep production vision into the spotlight and adding a fresh, unpredictable edge to the 2nd Generation Wu sound.
This next single will be released via ROC Nation distribution and MFM entertainment. This marks a major step, as the group aligns their legacy-first artistry with Roc Nation’s hybrid distribution model-one that empowers independent artists to retain their masters and creative freedom while tapping into the full suite of global marketing, analytics, playlist pitching and DSP access ROC provides.
Behind the scenes, iNF3RKNO is quietly curating the next full-length 2nd Generation Wu album, just as with their last project. Dontaé Hawkins created iNF3RKNO out of sheer necessity. This persona became the embodiment of his refusal to compromise, a relentless alter ego forged in the heat of disappointment and fueled by unmatched vision. To get to the fire the true brilliance, the raw energy-you have to go through Dontae’s Inferno. Stay tuned for the official release on all major streaming platforms and the music video. The future is Inevitable.
For now, the track is exclusively available HERE, with all streaming platforms to follow.
