Uzi walked on the track, killing his features as usual, but the pace of the song is so fast it would have been nice if the tempo changed at some point in the four-minute song. The beat is also excellent, high energy and disorienting. High energy lyrics from Bourne act as back-to-back jabs on the beat, with great replay value. “Sossboy 2” is perhaps the best of the singles to come off the album. Bourne raps, “That’s so raven with the grind you know I got these visions.” 8. This song offers a weak chorus combined with more serious lyrics in the verses about Bourne’s dreams growing up, hate from other rappers and stories about helping his family and friends. “Biology 101”Ī funky bop with a more creative flow than other songs off of “The Life of Pi’erre 5,” “Biology 101” is unfortunately overwhelmed by the repetitiveness of the hook. This nonchalant style can be a vibe, but its low-energy chorus leaves the song feeling unresolved. “42”īourne comes with a flow similar to Lil Yachty - laid back as if he’s almost not trying. This track provides an ethereal video game beat mix with a plethora of witty Bourne one-liners. Pierre’s wordplay is at its finest here, with fewer unnecessarily repetitive lyrics and more interesting flows than usual. The third song off the project is a clear highlight. Unfortunately, the Playboi Carti feature is a bit underwhelming and the hype around the song would most likely have been much larger if the leak hadn’t become so popular. While a leaked version of this song has amassed millions of streams on SoundCloud, it is still an exciting addition to the album. This call represents a few themes across the album, including Bourne’s come-up, constantly being on the road and feeling disconnected from his family back home. The call ends with his grandma telling him she needs a cheap car to ride around in. “The Life of Pi’erre 5” is an album with 16 tracks spanning about an hour of playtime, so for those who want to know which tracks are worth the listen, here is a short assessment of each song.īourne introduces the project with a call from his grandma, who asks when he’ll be coming back to his hometown of Columbia, South Carolina. Since then, Bourne’s clout as an artist has risen tremendously and when he announced the release of “The Life of Pi’erre 5,” it made waves across the hip-hop community - at least for the younger generation.

Bourne’s own rap career has been largely overshadowed by his beat-making and production, but the fourth installment in his “The Life of Pi’erre” (“TLOP”) series peaked just outside the Billboard Top 100, which was dramatically better than the moderate SoundCloud success of the previous “The Life of Pi’erre” installments. The “Yo Pi’erre you wanna come out here” producer tag, which Bourne sampled from an episode of the “Jamie Foxx Show,” has become an iconic introduction on Billboard hits such as Playboi Carti’s “Magnolia” and “Bean (Kobe)” by Lil Uzi Vert featuring Chief Keef. Pi’erre Bourne is most commonly known as the producer of rap’s newest generation of talent.
