It’s Sli’merre season once again starting today, as Young Nudy and Pi’erre Bourne are here with the sequel tape. It’s been five long years; however, we are just thankful these two trap stars are back and working again. Overall, the rollout wasn’t too extensive for Sli’merre 2, with both artists first teasing the record on social media around Halloween. “11-?-2024 X ITS GO BE FUN,” the Atlanta rapper said on Instagram. Pi’erre was equally as excited, replying, “Man I can’t wait ” Following that, the dynamic duo would go on to give fans the first look at the project with “Right Now” on November 6. Then, just five days later, they would return with the second and final single “Get Fu*ked Up.”
So far, fan reception remains solid with some calling it a great follow-up and fire all around. For us, there are definitely some tracks that are resonating. In particular, we feel that Young Nudy and Mr. Bourne kill it on “4Slime.” The main reason why we are diving into this one the most is because the multiple layers. Instrumentally, this may be Pi’erre Bourne’s best work on the project. There are a few beat switches, with each one hitting just as hard as the one before. The track kicks off with one the darkest sounds on the entire record with ethereal tones and sound effects. Those get amplified in the mix around the 1:30 mark and the segue into moodiest and waviest section of “4Slime.” Then, the aggressiveness returns in slightly different form, and then comes back to the first beat. It’s like you’re jumping through portals with different environments. It’s an adventurous listen and it’s why we cannot get enough of it.
Young Nudy packs a lot of personality into his bars. He’s not whipping out dense wordplay or double entendres, but he has an easygoing flow that sounds catchy over the right production. Pi’erre Bourne is the perfect producer to align with these strengths, and their latest venture together, Sli’merre 2, proves it. The album is credited as a solo venture for Young Nudy, but as its title suggests, it combines the raw, melodic talents of both artists for a listening experience that’s breezy and fun.
“Come to My World” is a perfect album opener. It’s slow, synth-driven, and just spacey enough to give Young Nudy room to vamp. He busts out a slurred flow reminiscent of peak Gucci Mane, which he keeps for the bulk of the album. It works. Young Nudy’s ad-libs sound especially Gucci-esque on the standout cut “Get Fu*ked Up.” None of the songs on Sli’merre 2 overstay their welcome, even if the ideas for each song can sometimes verge on repetitive. The production keeps things moving, whether it be the glitchy throwback sounds of “Breakdown” or the trunk-knocking bounce of “Hakuna Matata.” Young Nudy and Pi’erre Bourne continue to make wavy music together. We wouldn’t mind a Sli’merre 3 at some point in the future.
Let us know what you think of this brand new album, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Young Nudy and Pi’erre Bourne have become a fan-favorite duo over the years. That’s thanks to their inaugural joint tape Sli’merre from 2019. Numerous high-profile guests were enlisted to build some extra anticipation, such as Megan Thee Stallion, Lil Uzi Vert, and more. However, now that listeners are fully bought into their chemistry, its sequel is going to be a little different. Overall, it seems that their synergy is going to be the star of the show on Sli’merre 2. BabyDrill will be the only guest this time through. The collaboration project will be out on Wednesday at midnight, November 13, and it will feature 16 tracks. As it stands, the trap tandem has two singles from it out in “Right Now” and “Get Fu*ked Up” as well.
The former is a very colorful and bouncy vibe, something that Pi’erre Bourne is known to bring to the table. Conversely, “Get Fu*ked Up” is a little bit darker and wavier. That’s thanks to the distorted vocals on the chorus chanting the song’s title. The bass is more resonant on this one too, giving it that more traditional trap feel. Overall, both songs are nice vibes and present what should be an enjoyable listening experience. Hopefully, this will not be the only joint project we hear from Nudy for a while. There are some rumblings that a Metro Boomin-produced tape is in the works. We did get the extreme banger “John Wayne” this summer and it’s one that remains in heavy rotation. But even if we don’t get that, Sli’merre 2 should be tape to tide fans over for years.
Pi’erre Bourne has been teasing Made In Paris for close to a year. The producer has been dropping hints and teasing songs from the album since January. A quick scroll through the Made In Paris link on Genius shows over 25 leaked songs. We’re going to be getting a Tyler, The Creator album we didn’t even know existed before this week, sooner. Fans have been frustrated, and Pi’erre Bourne decided to break his silence on the matter. He hopped on Twitter and set the record straight.
Most artists would put the blame on the record label, or the fans who have leaked songs online. Bourne didn’t do that. He decided to own up and take responsibility for the fact that Made In Paris does not yet have a release date. The whole interaction actually stemmed from an interaction in which a fan voiced frustration with the label. Pi’erre Bourne clarified that the label has not made anything difficult for him, and that the album delay has been his doing. Plain and simple.
Pi’erre Bourne Claimed He’s Been Burned Out
“I really just got tired From traveling, shooting photo and videos,” the producer wrote. “Mixing album, going to fashion events same day and not sleeping.” Pi’erre Bourne noted that someone like Kanye West can pull such a demanding lifestyle off, but he cannot. He also noted that the polarizing superstar has a lot more help than he does. “Ye do it,” he added. “But he always surround himself with a great team in whatever setting. That’s all that I’m really missing. It’s not on the label. It’s me.”
Just yesterday it was “Bourne Day” for Pi’erre Bourne. The idiosyncratic rapper and producer is now 31-years-young, so happy birthday to the South Carolina native! For the last several years, he’s given us plenty of pop rap/trap bangers with some of the biggest names in the game. However, he’s also got loads of hits under his own belt as an MC. He’s been laying down rhymes since 2018 and he’s got tons of releases to show for it. At this moment in time, there is a very strong belief and sense of hope from his fans that there will be yet another addition to his LP catalog. That album is Made In Paris, which sounds like exactly what it means.
All of the eventual tracks that will go on to land on this future project are recordings laid down in France’s most iconic city. However, there is not really any confirmed information regarding its release date, but people are speculating October. While we wait in the wings for that, Pi’erre Bourne is here with “Blocs”, a highly awaited track in his canon. As we mentioned, his birthday was yesterday. So, this is essentially a gift back to his loyal supporters and it’s out now on his Instagram only. You can check out the five-minute single and accompanying music video via the link below.
Man, I learned a couple things, ridin’ the lambo with Kanye This bad b**** give me brain, boutta make this hoe my fiancé This what I see N****s hatin’ on me Watch for the screen Picky b**** yeah she roll
Atlanta has had plenty of star-studded rap groups over the genre’s now 50-year history. Obviously, you have some of the top guns like Migos and Outkast, but there are new talents bubbling up to the surface. One of those is the duo of Homixide Beno! and Homixide Meechie. They go by Homixide Gang and they burst onto the scene almost two years ago to the day. Tomorrow, October 11, will be the anniversary of their first single released on streaming platforms. It all started with “SSN,” and their popularity has steadily risen since then.
In this short time frame, the pair has already dropped an album for each year they have been in the industry. Fans got their first full taste of Homixide’s sound with Snotty World (Deluxe). Two of their biggest hits, “55 Lifestyle” and “5unna,” landed on their debut. Then, in 2022, Homixide Lifestyle nabbed some features from other rising stars Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely. Finally, back in April of this year,Snot or Notwould bring their total to three with it being a solo project.

Pi’erre Bourne may be best known in mainstream circles for the “Yo Pierre, you wanna come out here?” tagline. However, Bourne is a multifaceted artist who works as a producer, rapper, and audio engineer. Along with producing some of the top tracks of the past few years for rappers such as Playboi Carti, Young Nudy, and Lil Uzi Vert, just to name a few, Pi’erre has also released three solo studio albums. Pi’erre has also worked closely with Kanye West and has recently solidified himself as one of the most prolific producers. Here’s a look at the life and career of Pi’erre Bourne.
Early Life
Pi’erre Bourne grew up in Columbia, South Carolina. In addition to this, he spent summers with his grandmother in Queens, New York. During his time in New York, Pi’erre’s interest in East Coast Hip-Hop acts such as Dipset and G-Unit grew. Pi’erre began making beats on FL Studio on his uncle’s computer in elementary school. Bourne’s uncle was a rapper and graphic artist.
Upon graduating high school, Bourne went to college for graphic design but dropped out after a year to pursue music. At this time, his uncle encouraged Bourne to move to Atlanta. Due to this, Pi’erre attended the SAE Institute to study sound engineering. While in school, Bourne befriended DJ Burn One, and after graduating, the two worked at a recording studio as audio engineers. In 2015, Pi’erre worked as an engineer for Epic Records but left after a year to pursue his own career as a producer.
Solo Career & Collaborations With Playboi Carti
The year 2016 proved to be the beginning of Pi’erre’s breakout as an artist. In 2016, Pi’erre began producing for Trippie Redd and eventual long-time collaborator Young Nudy. Additionally, Bourne released three solo mixtapes, The Life of Pi’erre, The Life of Pi’erre 2, and The Life of Pi’erre 3. Bourne’s popularity would skyrocket after he met Playboi Carti.
Pi’erre met Playboi Carti in February 2017 and collaborated on the track “Woke Up Like This” featuring Lil Uzi Vert. Pi’erre produced more tracks on Carti’s debut self-titled album, including the hit “Magnolia.” The track peaked at No. 29 on the Billboard Hot 100. In addition to its commercial success, Pi’erre’s tagline on the song, “Yo Pierre, you want to come out here,” became its own viral sensation. The saying became an internet meme and a trademark attached to any Pi’erre beat.
Sli’merre, The Life of Pi’erre 4, & Collabs With Kanye West
With the success of “Magnolia,” Pi’erre’s talent as a producer was in high demand in 2017. That year, Pi’erre racked up production credits on 21 Savage’s Issa Album, Lil Yachty’s Teenage Emotions, Big Sean and Metro Boomin’s Double or Nothing, and Lil Uzi Vert’s Luv Is Rage 2. Pi’erre also produced 6ix9ine’s 2017 track “Gummo.” It charted at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Pi’erre another top hit along with “Magnolia.”
In 2018, Bourne once again collaborated with Playboi Carti on his second album Die Lit, as he produced the majority of the songs and featured as a rapper on two tracks from the album. Around this same time, Pi’erre would also begin his collaborations with Kanye West. Pi’erre co-produced the song “Yikes” from Kanye’s album Ye and the single “Watch,” which featured West and Travis Scott.
Pi’erre then released a full-length collaborative project with Young Nudy in May of 2019 titled Sli’merre. Bourne produced all twelve tracks on the project, which included features from Megan Thee Stallion, DaBaby, Lil Uzi Vert, and 21 Savage. Sli’merre was met with critical acclaim and released at No. 1 on Apple Music’s US All Genres Chart. It also peaked at No. 63 on the US Billboard Hot 200. Also in 2019, Pi’erre released his debut studio album, The Life of Pi’erre 4. The album featured Bourne’s production and rapper abilities and peaked at No. 107 on the US Billboard Hot 200.
Recent Success: Grammy Awards & No. 1 Producer In The World
In 2020, Pi’erre’s contributions to Hip-Hop continued. Bourne produced four songs on Lil Uzi Vert’s Eternal Atake and also produced Drake’s “Pain 1993,” which featured Playboi Carti. “Pain 1993” peaked at No. 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. Because of this, Bourne debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Producer Chart in March 2020. In addition to this, Pi’erre would once again collaborate with Carti on his third album Whole Lotta Red, which was met with critical acclaim.
Pi’erre once again collaborated with Kanye West on his album Jesus is King. Bourne co-produced songs “On God” and “Use This Gospel.” For his contributions, Pi’erre won his first Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album at the 2021 award ceremony. Bourne also released his second album, The Life of Pi’erre 5, in 2021, which peaked at No. 35 on the US Billboard Hot 200 charts. As with his previous album, Pi’erre produced the entire album and rapped on it as well.
Pi’erre’s success has continued to the present day, as he continues to contribute to some of the hottest tracks in Hip-Hop. Pi’erre also released his third album, Good Movie, in September 2022. He has also released two singles this year, “IG” and “Honeyberry 2.” Whether as a solo artist or producer, Pi’erre Bourne has cemented himself as one of the most influential and important artists of recent times.
On the musical side of things, despite their close touring and personal relationship, Drake and Pi’erre Bourne haven’t collaborated much. Moreover, the first thing that fans might think of is the couple of the rapper-producer’s tracks that Drizzy was going to be on that never came to be. Also, there’s the Pi’erre-produced “Pain 1993” featuring Playboi Carti on the OVO mogul’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes project. However, they still look out for each other, and the Kansas-born artist joined the Canadian superstar on the “Boy Meets World” tour in Australia and New Zealand back in 2017. Not only that, but Drake actually helped him get his passport.
“With Drake, when we was on tour, that was cool,” Pi’erre Bourne remarked during an interview at Coachella this year. “‘Boy Meets World’ tour, that was awesome. We went to Australia and New Zealand. So he actually showed me the world early on, fresh off the couch, my friend’s couch. He got me my passport, like, Drake helped me get my passport again so, yeah.” Some friends don’t just pay for your flight; they can help you take one anywhere, too.
What’s more is that Pi’erre Bourne is far from the only rapper to have received help from the 6 God. French Montana recently shouted him out for helping him produce his documentary. “Shout out to Drake for helping me do it,” he remarked. “Shout out to Puff. Shout out to Max B for letting them cameras come inside that maximum security prison and helping me document it. Shout out to my mother. She never been on nothing. That was her first one and it just shows that me, her and my father came here not even speaking English and it shows that your temporary moment doesn’t have nothing to do with your long-term.”
Meanwhile, the “IG” MC and beatsmith has been on plenty of tours since “Boy Meets World.” In fact, he has a few upcoming dates in May playing in Houston, New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta.
