Juicy J & Pi’erre Bourne Announce A Collab Album, ‘Space Age Pimpin’,’ And Drop A Single, ‘This Fronto’

Rappers Juicy J and Pi’erre Bourne are joining forces for the summer. Later this month, the pair will drop their collaborative album, Space Age Pimpin’.

Ahead of the album, Juicy and Bourne have dropped the club-ready lead single, “This Fronto.” On the track, Juicy J mixes a cocktail of drugs, rapping, “This fronto got me high, so high, so high / The Xans got me high, so high, so high / The mollies got me high, so high, so high / The shrooms got me high, so high, so high.”

A prolific producer and an artist in his own right, Bourne swoops in with a flashy verse, proclaiming, “I can tell the future, all I see is dollar signs
/ My diamonds shine like the fourth of July”

Bourne is known for his work on tracks by Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti. With his brooding, downtempo craft, Bourne’s production stylings give “This Fronto” a feel similar to that of old Three 6 Mafia tracks.

Although Bourne has built an impressive resume as a producer, he revealed to Billboard last year that he doesn’t feel he’s made it as a rapper.

“I feel like I made it as a producer,” Bourne said. “With [my albums, The Life Of Pi’erre 4 and 5], that’s been me getting everyone to see that I’m rapping, but a lot of people still haven’t heard TLOP 1, 2, or 3. There’s still a gap to be filled between the millions of people that know me as a producer as opposed to an artist. I just have to gain more awareness, and that’s pretty much what the music has done.”

P’ierre Bourne And Lil Uzi Vert Reunite On The Hypnotic ‘Sossboy 2’

Hitmaking producer Pi’erre Bourne reunites with Lil Uzi Vert on “Sossboy 2,” the final single from his upcoming mixtape, The Life of Pi’erre 5, which is due this Friday, June 11. The track was accompanied by an animated visualizer depicting the two artists as Dragon Ball-inspired cartoon avatars as they both rap over the hypnotic, synthesizer-heavy beat.

“Sossboy 2” is one of three tracks featuring guest artists on the 16-song project, including, of course, Playboi Carti and newcomer Sharc, who is signed to Pi’erre’s label SossHouse. Although Pi’erre is focusing on highlighting his solo talents, the three features all make sense; it was Carti and Pi’erre’s collaboration “Magnolia” that launched both to stardom in 2017, while Pi’erre produced a number of tracks for both Carti and Uzi on their most recent outings, Eternal Atake and Whole Lotta Red.

Pi’erre also produced the majority of Carti’s prior album Die Lit. Most recently, Pi’erre has promoted his SossHouse signees, producing three projects in 2020 for Chavo, Jelly, and Frazier Trill, as well as releasing a deluxe version of the last The Life Of Pi’erre tape, which included 15 new tracks.

The Life of Pi’erre 5 is due on 6/11 via Interscope Records. Pre-save it here.
