Rapper and songwriter MoRuf\u2019s discography dates back to his 2011 debut album, Garden State of Mind: Ready to Live<\/em>, released around the same time he came to know one Solana Rowe<\/a>. MoRuf, born Moruf Adedayo Adewunmi, and Rowe, aka SZA, grew up in neighboring New Jersey<\/a> towns. As she tells it in an Instagram caption celebrating their latest collaboration on MoRuf\u2019s new single and music video, \u201cPT Cruiser,\u201d their relationship was formative.<\/p>\n \u201cWithout our car freestyles in my mom\u2019s driveway there\u2019d be no me !\u201d she wrote under a post featuring a snippet of the music video, directed by their friend Joshua Kissi<\/a>. \u201cU inspire me to be a more loving human everyday . Any thing for big Moo !! Das Reggie husband das NOVA n RAVI DADDY !! Das a BLACK KANG right dere !! Love you gang PT cruiser out NAOW #jerseyshit.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n The song itself is a soothing, nostalgic ode to adolescent memories and young love, where both artists dance between R&B and rap. It was produced by Jesse Boykins III, Nate Bajar, MeLo-X, and Matt Cody.\u00a0The soft, communal video mirrors its reflective mood, featuring both shots of MoRuf, SZA, and friends like fellow artist Topaz Jones<\/a> as adults, and vignettes of young children with their style. \u201cCooler, wish I never knew ya\/We were in the backseat of your momma PT Cruiser,\u201d MoRuf sings on the hook. Later, he raps, \u201cTalkin\u2019 bout in like \u201903\/Beef and broccoli, no cold feet\/Bumping Jill, and we Goldie.\u201d Hearkening back to those driveway freestyle sessions, SZA spits a few bars, like \u201cI just chill and rap to the beat\/Let them other bitches chase the meat\/I don\u2019t know the taste of defeat\/Find my way, find my way.\u201d<\/p>\n MoRuf replied to SZA\u2019s Instagram post celebrating their musical reunion sentimentally, writing, \u201cSos why you make a nigga cry on a Wednesday evening like that. Day1 talking A1. Springfield Ave! They wasn\u2019t there. You one of the realest human beings I know. Thank you for creating and sharing this piece of art with me. This bigger than us.
