Saint Pierre - ACID (Official Video) | @berri_life |

Coming at you with a viral video and a word-wide lifestyle/merch brand taking the world by storm, the one and only Saint Pierreis back with a hot new single entitled, “Acid”. The Bronx native coined the term “Berri Life” through his last few efforts to represent his clique. Now that the world is glued to their screens with “Berri” on the brain, the question remains: What will he drop next? The answer: “Acid”.

But before we get to the new single, we need to touch upon the song that blew Saïnt Pierre & the Berri Crew into the hip-hop stratosphere, his remix of “I’m In Love With The Toto”. With almost a half a million views, this seemingly unknown artist at the time became the trending topic of 2014. The Berri Life movement began to take on a whole new meaning as a lifestyle brand once the song hit, and Pierre has been fearlessly leading the pack to greatness ever since, planting the Berri flag everywhere they go.

“Throw a hundred out in traffic” – the first line of “Acid” sets the tone of the song perfectly. The music video shows the “Berri” crew running with a rags-to-riches lifestyle at the pace they want. The whole squad is partying at the highest capacity with hot girls, expensive cars, and bottles on bottles. The contrast here is that the party is taking place out on the streets of their hometown, rather than at some expensive hotel, showing that an artist like Saint Pierre never forgets where he came from. With the whole neighborhood behind him, Pierre delivers the song with an honest confidence, showing the form he’s been working for his entire life.

This song is produced by a long time collaborator of Fanaticus's, Jamil. Jamil is also co-founder of Young Kings with Fanaticus. On this smooth, lo-fi feeling track, Fanaticus vibes and raps about how he wishes people wouldn't live their life through a screen (laptop, phone, tv, etc.) and he reflects on a past love, while sending a message through the song to live for the experiences and to see the beautiful things in life. This song will be the first single off of his upcoming EP, which is untitled as of now.


The Council - "Nothing Else Matters" | @payattentionja |



 

Straight out of Kingston, Jamaica, comes an epic body of work from a group of lyricists who have upheld the essence of Hip Hop in their city for many years. The Council, formed in 2015 by long-time collaborators Inztinkz, Five Steez, Nomad Carlos and The Sickest Drama, has finally released the 16-track album Nothing Else Matters, exclusively on Bandcamp (bit.ly/TheCouncilAlbum).

Nothing Else Matters, produced and mixed by Inztinkz, with art direction by Jomé Anderson and Warren Buckle, features hard-hitting, neck-snapping drums and majestic instrumentation, matched by superb rapping, articulating an unheard ‘third world’ perspective, but a narrative similar to other cities globally.

Nothing Else Matters goes only a few minutes past the one-hour mark. The project showcases a variety of sounds and topics, tied in sonically and thematically, with a Jamaican perspective being the common thread. An album with such depth and diversity is rare in Hip Hop today, and is ground-breaking coming from Kingston. With this effort, The Council has proven its place in the upper echelon of MCs and has represented its city in a new and creative way.

Nothing Else Matters hits other digital outlets such as iTunes, Spotify etc on Friday, October 27, and CDs will become available on Friday, November 24, via bit.ly/TheCouncilAlbum.
