Pi’erre Bourne Drops ‘Good Movie’ Album

GRAMMY® Award Winning Producer / Rapper, and SossHouse CEO, Pi’erre Bourne returns today with Good Movie, a 23-song set that firmly establishes him as one of the most talented multi-hyphenates in rap. The project, which boasts collaborations with Don Toliver and Young Nudy, arrives ahead of the Good Movie World Tour. The album is available now HERE via SossHouse/Interscope Records.

On album standout “Psane,” Bourne and Toliver conjure up a frenetic banger with bright videogame synths and layered vocals that set the stage for Bourne’s joyous verses. The track celebrates the duo’s successes and even includes a shout-out to the artist’s record label during the hook. “Somebody tell me who they think they is,” Bourne sings in his trademark half-rapped flow. “It’s SossHouse baby/ Welcome to the crib.”

“Psane” is one of many highlights on Good Movie that show how Pi’erre has evolved as a producer. Songs like “What I Gotta Do” and “Where You Going”–which arrives with a video live at 12pm ET/9am PT on Pi’erre’s YouTube channel–incorporate elements of Jersey/Philly club music into his atmospheric trap sound, while kinetic songs like “Moving Too Fast” ft. Young Nudy and “SossHouse Party” are natural next steps for his candy-coated signature sound. Simple and emphatic, words spill out of the rapper effortlessly–on “Kingdom Hall,” he stacks outlandish metaphor after outlandish metaphor, intoning “Shakes-pi’erre, Romeo & Juliet/She may die for the kid.”

Good Movie also includes the title track, which finds Bourne serving free-associative flexes that evoke the lifestyle of a high-roller. “My life’s like a movie, yeah, yeah,” he raps over ambient keys. “She is so into me, yeah, yeah.” Released last week, the title track “Good Movie” received major support from XXL, Complex, Hypebeast and OurGeneration, who all included the track in their “Best Songs Of The Week” columns.  With its slick melodies and to-the-point bars, “Good Movie” is quintessential Pi’erre Bourne.

Good Movie follows the release of Pi’erre’s latest collaborative project with legendary artist Juicy J titled, Space Age Pimpin. The project received critical acclaim from Pitchfork, The Fader, Stereogum, Complex, Hypebeast, UPROXX, Paste Magazine, and many more. Listen HERE. In 2021, he released Yo!88, a joint project from the Grammy® winner and fellow production legend TM88. On tracks like “Block Boy,” their fusion is rendered to its fullest effect as Bourne provides the infectious song structure and TM88 laces him with video game synths that make big balling sound like an adventure. Pi’erre Bourne has established himself as one of rap’s most inventive producers, and he flashed his behind-the-boards prowess once again with his production on EA Monster, the critically acclaimed new album by Young Nudy, including on highlights “Kit Kat” and “No Chaser.”

As well as crafting beats for the likes of Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, and more, he also dropped acclaimed solo projects The Life of Pi’erre 4 and The Life of Pi’erre 5, which was hailed as one of the “Best Albums of 2021” by NPR, Complex, Rolling Stone, and XXL. In addition to releasing music, Pi’erre is the founder and CEO of his own SossHouse imprint – home to artists like Chavo and Sharc. His momentum keeps building as he levels up as a songwriter, and Good Movie is another high-water mark.

Keep an eye on Pi’erre’s socials: he’s planning a new drop of Good Movie-related merch this afternoon.
