Curtis Roach Is No Longer ‘Bored In The House’ In His Earthy ‘Bamboo Lounge’ Video

The moment-defining TikTok star takes on the great outdoors in his new video. …

After being “bored in the house” for the duration of the quarantine, Detroit rapper Curtis Roach hits the “Bamboo Lounge” in his latest music video — which incidentally arrives just as the nation prepares for another extended lockdown to curb the increase in coronavirus cases. The “Bamboo Lounge” video finds Curtis wandering the deserted streets of Detroit — and visiting an animated bamboo copse — to reflect on his interesting reversal of fortune: “I was down upon my luck and now I’m golden,” he exults as he dances to the tropical-sounding beat.

The relentlessly upbeat Roach talked to Uproxx in April about the insane viral popularity of his “bored in the house” TikTok sound and how it became the basis of a hit record with Tyga. “I made that before the self-quarantine,” he admitted. “I didn’t know that that was about to happen.” However, the sound and the song based on it quickly became moment-defining soundtracks to this summer’s lockdown, which had Americans bingeing Tiger King, baking bread, and finding whatever means possible to keep their minds and bodies occupied and spirits lifted. “That was crazy for me,” Roach noted. “Every time, when I go on Twitter, it’s a new video of a whole family in quarantine that’s just ‘Bored In The House.’ That’s just the coolest part about it, we all are feeling this right now… We’re all connected through this.”

Tylo $mith taps into the art of cool on “Sumn Light”

Tylo $mith is not here to scream at you for your attention. Instead, on “Sumn Light,” he slips into your speakers with laconic cool that says a lot without grunting. Taken from his forthcoming project Honor Chords, the song is a somber, mood-heavy cut that bleeds personality, clever bars, and introspective late-night celebration.

Over a hypnotic beat that pulsates like the neon light in the rain, Tylo $mith offers an off-the-cuff performance that seems razor-sharp. There’s a slackness to his delivery, a lanky-boned ease that suggests he’s not trying that hard because he doesn’t need to. He name-drops Christian Bale effortlessly, preens with a Nicki Minaj reference that lands just right, and saunters through verses like he’s talking to himself more than to an audience. But that’s why it resonates. There’s nothing fake here, just vibes and truth.

“Sumn Light” sounds like a confession you catch in freestyle, when the world quiets and honest thoughts creep in. The lyrics bounce between self-aware flexes and coy vulnerability in a balancing act that defines Tylo’s style. It’s not the over-explanation; it’s the space between the words, the sonic coolness, and the honesty cloaked in rhyme.

This song was made to add to your chill rap and vibey hip-hop playlists, but it also thrives on its own, winding its way through your headphones as background noise or front-and-center reflection. The production is minimalist but immersive, leaving space for the depth and texture of Tylo’s voice and pen to sit right in the pocket. He’s not trying to out-rap the beat, and he’s talking to it.

“Sumn Light” is a mood, a feeling, a moment that doesn’t need to scream to be heard. It captures what Honor Chords seems to be about: raw expression, offhand calm, and honesty that catches you unawares.
