Paul Wall Taps Friends For Slang In “Underground Ambassador”

Paul Wall and DJ Fresh assemble a crew of lyricists to give them the opportunity to educate the masses on the latest slang in the new track “Underground Ambassador.” Relying on some familiar faces, the Houston native brings together unique wordsmiths from all four corners of the map. Freeway out of Philly, Berner from the Bay Area, Big K.R.I.T. representing Mississippi, Termanology out of Massachusetts, and Rich The Factor from Kansas City. Everyone on the track delivers a signature slang that describes grinding. The new track is the lead single for Paul Wall’s forthcoming album of the same title.  

The latest release follows a lengthy history of collaborations between Paul Wall and Termanology. The two have previously joined forces on two joint albums that included guest appearances by Freeway and Big K.R.I.T. Paul has been guiding Houston hip-hop for years now with his iced-out appeal and catchy lyrics about riding down with the bass rattling. Wall was a part of the original Swish House crew that took over hip-hop in the early 2000s. “Still Trippin,” his hit song with Mike Jones and Slim Thug, turned 20 years old recently. The song’s success would lead to Wall being featured on Ye’s classic “Drive Slow.” Wall’s new album is scheduled for release this month on his own imprint.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m the underground ambassador

Dropping slang you might not understand, but hold tight; I’m a break it down

Showing out for my block at all times, for sh*t sho, I rep for my town

Berner Follows “Gotti” With The Search For “Hoffa” In New Album

Berner‘s latest album, Hoffa, continues his exploration of mobster life when he isn’t making big deals in cannabis. This album follows Gotti, the rap star’s 2021 release about another legendary mobster. The latest album is reminiscent of Jimmy Hoffa, a legendary mobster who went missing and has never been seen again. Like Gotti, the new album includes a gritty production with organized crime-driven lyricism. The album’s description reads: “The NorCal rapper and entrepreneur continues the search.”

Berner’s a-list friends Wiz Khalifa, Too $hort, Ghost Face Killah, B-Real, Killer Mike, and Ty Dolla $ign appear on the album. In the search for Jimmy, the Bay Area rap star releases album singles “Lots of Green,” “Callin,” and “The Source.” The album is a direct follow-up to the mobster series. “It’s got great features on it, great production. My team said it feels kind of like a Gotti number two, which is probably one of my best-performing albums,” said Berner. 

As part of Bern One Entertainment’s partnership with Empire, the new album is the latest in a longstanding relationship between the companies. Berner has become one of the richest rap stars due to his various ventures in the cannabis field. Forbes claimed Berner was the fourth wealthiest artist in hip-hop after securing a net worth of $410 million with his Cookies empire. The artist’s music continues to flourish, with an average of 1.5 million streams on Spotify.

Tiffany Haddish & Berner Bless Fans At Cookies Melrose In Los Angeles

Tiffany Haddish Weighs In On Wearing Bonnets In Public Controversy

Tiffany Haddish and Berner for a Meet & Greet?! Sign us up!

On Saturday, April 27th, Tiffany Haddish made a rare in-person appearance at the new Cookies Melrose store in Los Angeles to celebrate the collaboration between Cookies and The Freak Brothers. For those unfamiliar, The Freak Brothers is a legendary comic series that recently saw a revival as an adult animated show. In fact, Tiffany Haddish plays the voice of the cat on the new seasons.

Both Haddish and Berner were present for the festivities early at 10am, as fans lined up outside the store eager to meet both superstars. Some brought gifts, while some just wanted autographs and pictures. All attendees were able to purchase a limited-edition 2.5 gram infused joint and exclusive merch in collaboration with CookiesSF clothing, including hoodies, t-shirts, hats, rolling trays, and more.

Haddish recently revealed she will release her book/memoir, I Curse You With Joy, out May 7th. She’s also gone on record about her recent sobriety and celibacy… which includes marijuana. Haddish told The Source that drinking weed tea helps a ton with pain and inflammation, something that’s helped her tremendously when it comes to her monthly period.

Other big names on the cast of The Freak Brothers include Woody Harrelson, Pete Davidson, and more. 

Haddish and Berner will be available to sign autographs and promote Berner joining the Freak Brothers cast alongside Haddish, Woody Harrelson, Pete Davidson and more.

Berner Grabs Conway The Machine, Jay Worthy, Paul Wall & More For “The Farmer’s Market”

One thing about a fair amount of West Coast rappers is that they know how to drop chill and relaxing tracks. Berner is one of those artists and he is doing just that on his newest project The Farmer’s Market. The veteran who hails from San Francisco, California is back with his first record of the year and is following up a bustling 2023. It was period in which he dropped two albums being Trophies and Arrogance Is Ignorance (One Shot Kill).

Berner did not release any promotional singles for The Farmer’s Market, which is a different approach compared to his collab tape with OHGEESY, Trophies. However, what he lacks in teaser tracks, he makes up for in the feature department. On this effort, Berner taps rappers from all over to help bring that similar laid-back tone. On here, you will find names like Conway the Machine, Paul Wall, Jay Worthy, Curren$y and more.

Berner Becomes the First Cannabis Executive To Make The Forbes Cover

Screen Shot 2022 08 03 at 8.06.27 AM

Gilbert MIlan Jr. aka Berner, has been one of the main faces of canna-business, which is why the San Francisco native become the very first exec in the cannabis industry to make the cover of the coveted Forbes magazine.

The Cookies CEO and Taylor Gang Entertainment signee has been at the forefront of the billion dollar marijuana industry for the past two decades and the finance tracking mag honored the canna-mogul by letting him grace the cover.

“It’s every entrepreneur’s dream to make the cover of Forbes, but the reality is very few founders and CEOs of the largest companies in the world will actually get a chance to achieve that goal,” said Berner. “I’ve been in the legal cannabis industry for 20 years and have dedicated most of my life to this fight. To be selected as one of the faces for federal legalization in our country is a huge compliment to my work. I’m extremely humbled, excited and motivated to keep pushing the cannabis industry forward and to continue representing minorities in the space. This is just the beginning for Cookies and I want to thank Forbes for helping us share our story.”
