And for now, with festival sets like Miami’s Rolling Loud pushed back until February 2021, Scumbag is spending his energy seizing the moment.Ī forthcoming project goes back to the “turnt, in your face, all types of hype shit,” from 2018 singles like “Bruce Wayne” and “Lucky Charm.” His March single, “Fuck Coronavirus 2020” is a full-blown trap rager where a masked Scumbag passes on dapping people or shaking hands all while spraying them down with Lysol and drinking Bud Light instead of White Claw. It’s a fitting assessment for a record that saw the Alonso High School dropout leave material like 2016’s “Tha Trenchez” behind for a record where he flexed his muscle by effortlessly weaving together tracks that visited indie-pop and even house music. The Big Baby Earnhardt mixtape also caught the ear of famously-finicky music website Pitchfork, which wrote that the songs “overflow with jubilant maximalism and have a proudly Southern bounce… play with tradition as much as pay homage.” The cuts, P4K said, cruise with “the engine of a Tesla in the body of a stock car, with the trunk speakers of the most pimped-out, candy-painted Cadillac imaginable.” Scumbag even ended up going to the Daytona 500 alongside videographer Pablo Vasquez III.
Self-confinement is how Scumbag landed at his 2018 breakout single, “Dale Earnhardt,” which caught fire and commanded attention from Dale Jr.
