Backyard Kingdom

Boom-bap hip-hop with a dusty mid-90s drum loop feel, head-nodding swing, and chopped vinyl crackle; verses ride bare kick, snare, and a jazzy Rhodes stab, pre-chorus opens with a filtered bassline and tape-stop tension, chorus lands on crunchy boom bap drums plus a childlike group chant. Razor-close lead vocal with doubled hook lines, tucked ad-libs, and short delay throws on end words. Ear candy includes record pops, playground whistle snippets, and a reversed piano swell into the final hook. Mix is warm, gritty, and front-row intimate., rap
