As of late, producer and DJ p-rallel has handed over countless new bangers, creating an essential care package for the summertime, including his vibe-drenched Forward tape. For his latest hit, "Love Me, I'm Scum", he's called on 'G-folk' artist Hak Baker, once again showcasing his free, collaborative spirit.

The track houses a brew of reggae inflections and choppy drum and bass patterns, a blending skill that comes ever so naturally to the West London producer. Meanwhile, Hak Baker's tone is crisp, adding a sense of comfort over the rapid-fire drum patterns. His lyrics are hopeful as he cries out for us to remain compassionate towards each other as the world descends into chaos, pleading for people to love him for who he is, in spite of his imperfections.

"Love Me, I'm Scum" has the kind of sound that instantly clears cloudy skies, making way for endless days of sunshine.
