You can do the same in Magento2 If your Block class extends Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template

$block->getLayout()->createBlock('something/something')->toHtml()

If your Block class does not extend Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template then you can Inject the \Magento\Framework\View\LayoutInterface in your block construct and you can use use this pattern.
