Lov3rboi & Coogie drift through Gen Z melancholy on ‘얼리모닝트랩’

An Auto-Tune-laced daydream that blurs the line between Alt-R&B and Cloud Rap

On just his fifth official release since 2022, Lov3rboi proves again that he’s a rare breed because he drops sparingly, but with purpose. His latest single, ‘얼리모닝트랩,’ which translates to early morning trap, features Coogie in a synth-heavy, Auto-Tune-laced daydream that blurs the line between Alt-R&B and Cloud Rap.

The track floats on glossy production inspired by artists like Ecco2k and Bladee, setting the stage for both rappers to slow things down. Rather than go full Rap mode, Lov3rboi and Coogie lean into crooned melodies, letting their voices melt into the beat with a detached kind of intimacy.

Lyrically, the track is dripping in Gen Z-coded references—Minecraft homes for imaginary relationships, TFT analogies, and iPhones that symbolize growing distance. There’s heartbreak here, but also flexes and moments of hazy introspection.

The hook feels like doom scrolling on a quiet night: repetitive, numbing, and relatable. Despite the low energy delivery, the polish is proof of Lov3rboi’s ear for production and Pop structure.

‘얼리모닝트랩’ is quietly magnetic - a melancholic anthem for anyone feeling lost in their 20s, one notification at a time.
