Now that we’ve hit June it’s officially mixtape season, and LA rapper Coolin’ Cal is getting a jump on the summer release calendar by announcing that his Bamboo Boy EP is set for release in late July via Babe City Records. Ahead of that date, though, Cal is sharing the lead off single “Serving Up” which features his Concept Collective peer Tre Savels, as well as the project’s mission of disseminating as many tapes of the EP as possible. The breezy instrumental fuelled by bluesy keys lays the groundwork for both rappers to flex their verses, while the visual only helps to reinforce the track’s status as a soundtrack to early summer outings.

“’Serving Up’ is an upbeat summer jam where I’m reminiscing on simpler times, going out and having fun, and living fast in the first verse,” Cal explains. “By the time the second verse comes around, the song gets more reflective on the ups and downs of the lifestyle and things that I’ve seen. To me, it’s a song that’s meant to be fun and reflective at the same time.”
