The journey of life, from the playground to the greater game of managing the modern world as adults, the young and the old alike embark upon the very same journey.
SCOOB ROCK and LIBRIM encapsulate the emotional process of aging, growing, celebrating nostalgia, and progressing to new stages in life, with their latest heartfelt hip hop anthem PLAYGROUND.
Carved around an evocative old-school instrumental of wave-like optimistic synths and trap rhythms, PLAYGROUND features the classic Scoob Rock rasp and passion at the forefront, with smooth rhythms and poetic bars reflecting on the days gone by; the ride of life, from the early years to the hardships to the present moment.
The bars of PLAYGROUND are insightful, personal but relatable – interesting and original yet still with that essential twist of something easy to connect with. Then we get the hook, an easy-going earworm that lingers after listening, a softer moment to recapture the essence of the song – from youthful freedom to adulthood, and accepting the changes we all go through.
It’s a well-rounded set-up, and a beautiful conclusion that loops back around amidst these yesteryear strings and the comforting crackle of vinyl and details that elevate the Instrumental of PLAYGROUND.
Both the lyrics and the music walk hand-in-hand thorugh this perfectly timed three-minute expression of clarity and gratitude. The song is gorgeously built, performed with a quiet and conscious level of confidence and intention, and SCOOB ROCK and LIBRIM have clearly landed on the very same page when creating this song.
“We all come from somewhere. We all grow, learn, struggle, adapt and become who we are. The playground may change but the game of life keeps going.”
