Playboi Carti’s go-to producer goes solo, crooning in AutoTune over his blissfully simple earworm beats.
Most hip-hop producers could put in their 10,000 hours on FruityLoops and still never come close to Playboi Carti’s “Magnolia.” The blissfully simple four-note earworm earned Carti his cult following and turned its maker, Pi’erre Bourne, into a sought-after producer.
Rather than continue to feed hits to stars like Carti, Lil Uzi Vert and 21 Savage, Bourne has put all his attention into his solo career as a rapper. Which brings us to The Life of Pi’erre 4, his major-label debut and the first real test of whether he can carry a project. The answer is not quite—his heavily Auto-Tuned vocals have a tendency to get washed out by his hazy backdrops, and Pi’erre 4 is one-note as a result, more vibe than statement.
