Powers Pleasant Grabs 21 Different Features For “Life Sucks LP

by

Pro Era affiliate, producer, and DJ, Powers Pleasant, has delivered his sophomore project, Life Sucks. This the follow-up to the 30-year-old’s 2019 EP, Life Is Beautiful. That tape went on to feature the likes of now frequent collaborators Joey Bada$$ (Pro Era), Denzel Curry, A$AP Ferg, CJ Fly, Aaron Rose, Meechy Darko, and more. All of those same guests are now on Life Sucks, which can sort of be viewed as Powers Pleasant’s debut LP.

Leading up to the release of this tight 13-song tracklist, the Melt My Eyez See Your Future beat maker put out two singles. The first was the boastful and triumphant “Rumble” with Mr. Bada$$. Honestly, it should’ve been the tape’s opener, but Denzel Curry and Hannah Mundine’s “Entro” does the job too. Then, in September, Pleasant would deliver “Shmoke”, an East Coast trap/Jersey club mix that’s all gas and no brakes. In fact, that’s what most of this tape is. Plesant’s selection of guests (21 unique ones!) certainly helps make this a fun and easy-to-digest listening experience. Give it a spin with the links to your favorite streaming services below.

Producer SAINT JAME$ Begins His Career With A Bang As He Drops “BY ANY MEAN$”

by

The East Coast, like any other corner of hip-hop, has a distinct sound. It is grimy, rugged, but sometimes smooth and easy going. Those are all of the styles you are going to get on BY ANY MEAN$, the debut album of producer SAINT JAME$. He is cut from the similar cloth that Griselda is from, and that is why you are getting artists of that familiar ilk all over this project. From Conway the Machine to Boldy James, and Rome Streetz to ElCamino, the gang is all here.

BY ANY MEAN$ is a tight listen, spanning just 10 tracks with a scant run time of just 28 minutes and change. For someone looking to get their name out there like SAINT JAME$ is, you would think making longer instrumentals would be the move. However, he still manages to be memorable. Many may not know, but this project was in the works for quite a long time. In fact, SAINT JAME$ explained his gratitude for everyone that was involved and thanked for them for their years’ worth of patience. “Shouts out to @coachbombay3000 for believing in me, this project, being patient and for the guidance and support”, JAMES said.

“Peace, Love and respect to all artists who graced the project. I am humbled and grateful that I had the opportunity to work with some of the dopest artists to EVER rap… A reminder to those who need to hear it, believe in your vision, trust the process and don’t let a setback make you give up. Make your dreams happen BY ANY MEAN$ possible!!!!”. Those words cannot be truer and we wish SAINT JAME$ all the success in the world moving forward.
