MoRuf and SZA’s “PT Cruiser”: A Nostalgic Ride Through R&B Memory Lane

"Backseat of Your Momma's PT Cruiser"

MoRuf and SZA: The Jersey Friendship Behind the Brilliant "PT Cruiser"

The long-awaited collaboration, "PT Cruiser," finally brings together two artists forged in the same New Jersey music scene: rapper-singer MoRuf and the genre-defying superstar SZA. This is a project rooted in authentic history, not just star power. Their chemistry is earned through a decade-long friendship that started when SZA was in high school and they were introduced by SZA's mother. It feels less like a feature and more like a fluid conversation between masters of their craft.

The track itself is a masterful slice of alt-R&B and neo-soul elegance. Built on an unhurried, pulsing bass groove, the song immediately creates the atmosphere of a late-night drive, perfectly capturing the melancholy of looking back while moving forward. MoRuf delivers reflections on major life changes, and the track truly soars when SZA arrives, her instantly recognizable verse providing an ethereal counterpoint to MoRuf's grounded delivery.

The creation is truly an inside job. Released on Integral Records, the track was helmed by a powerhouse production team featuring Jesse Boykins III, MeLo-X, Nate Bajar, Aspene Taylor, and Matt Cody. Complementing the single is the official music video, directed by Joshua Kissi, which stands as a brilliant piece of visual storytelling.
