Loco ft: Jordan Ward - random summer night (Official Video)
Loco Taps into a New Era with "random summer night" ft. Jordan Ward.
Every so often, an artist reemerges with something that feels both refreshingly unexpected and unmistakably true to their essence. That’s exactly what Loco has done with his latest single, “random summer night”, a breezy, late-night anthem that quietly signals a new chapter for the Korean hip-hop mainstay.
This time, Loco isn’t flying solo—he’s joined by rising U.S. R&B sensation Jordan Ward, whose futuristic, soul-drenched vocals add a whole new dimension to the track. The collaboration feels like a cultural bridge between Seoul and Los Angeles, one that doesn’t force the connection but lets it unfold naturally through silky synths, crisp drums, and mutual creative chemistry.
The single is a sneak peek into SCRAPS, Loco’s upcoming album and his first independent project after more than a decade with AOMG. For longtime fans, this is a big moment. Loco has always had range—he’s delivered club-ready bangers and heartfelt slow jams, worked with K-pop royalty like BTS’s Jimin and EXO’s Baekhyun, and even showed his vulnerable side in hits like Hold Me Tight and HELLO. But SCRAPS promises something different: a look behind the curtain. It’s built on ideas that were once abandoned or half-formed, now reimagined with a fresh sense of freedom and self-direction.
Even the visuals for the track, captured in collaboration with photographer Winter Vandenbrink, feel more intimate and personal—adding layers to what is clearly a thoughtfully curated project.
It’s not just the sound that’s evolving. This single, and the album it teases, hint at a Loco who’s more willing than ever to take risks and blur genre lines. Partnering with Jordan Ward—an artist who’s recently earned co-signs from heavyweights like SZA and Tyler, the Creator—is proof that Loco’s eyes are set beyond borders.
So what does “random summer night” sound like? Think: warm air, neon reflections, distant city sounds, and fleeting moments that feel eternal. It’s a vibe. A feeling. A memory waiting to be made.
With a full album and live performances on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for Loco—not just as a Korean hip-hop icon, but as a global artist exploring what’s next.
