Self-proclaimed “happy hood hippie” Peter $un is bringing some light to these perilous times with his new 14-track album Scumbaby. The Southside Richmond, VA native rapper serves up a dose of sunshine and introspection in the midst of global turmoil with his feel-good album.
Of Scumbaby, Peter $un says, “The original idea for my album was to represent the duality of myself and us as human beings. Scum is considered the worst type of person ever (or filth) but a baby is the polar opposite - innocent and pure. At times we all can have scummy ways in our selfish race to become somebody on this rock.”
Peter $un showcases his artistry on Scumbaby through a multi-genre approach toward remedying the uncertainty of the present moment and encouraging listeners to appreciate the little things in life. Through tracks that combine rap, soul, electronica, and jazz, Scumbaby’s raison d’etre is to remind everyone to “embrace and accept the fact that we are always learning, growing, and know nothing.”
The album’s release emerges alongside the music video for the first track on the Scumbaby, “Work.” The playful visual offers a mind-bending, action-packed peek into Peter $un’s lighthearted consideration of his life, delivering laughter alongside an unforgettably catchy melody. “Work,” along with the rest of the empowering, upbeat tracks on Scumbaby flexes Peter $un’s bars while reminding us to find our own happiness in the middle of a crisis.
