Melodic trap built on bittersweet acoustic guitars and vulnerable storytelling. Emotional, polished rap for late nights and long drives.

Scorey, born Bakari Ward, is a pivotal figure in the 2020s wave of melodic trap, hailing from Syracuse, New York. His career trajectory was significantly accelerated when he became the first signee to Polo G's Only Dreamers Achieve (ODA) Records in 2020.
This mentorship is evident in Scorey's sonic identity, which mirrors Polo G's blend of street narratives and melodic vulnerability, yet Scorey distinguishes himself through a heavier emphasis on acoustic instrumentation and pop-punk-adjacent melodic structures. His work often features minor-key guitar plucking and crisp, high-fidelity drum programming that caters to the 'emo rap' demographic while maintaining mainstream accessibility. Critical consensus highlights his technical consistency and ability to craft catchy, emotionally resonant hooks that tackle themes of trauma, loyalty, and self-reflection. As he has progressed from early singles like 'Freddy Krueger' to full-length projects like 'If You Feel Lost', his production has become increasingly cinematic, positioning him as a leader in the next generation of melodic storytellers within the hip-hop landscape.
