Peter $un's Metamorphosis (Butterfly) music video will brighten your day
It’s no secret - Peter $un has instantly become one of my new favorite rappers. Fresh from dropping his new Phone Calls Gimme Anxiety album, it’s only right he gets the 24-hour treatment with his must-see ‘Metamorphosis (Butterfly)’ music video.
It’s pure $unny vibes from Los Angeles, as you might expect. Remind yourself to check out his album below and keep scrolling to get those chill vibes. Happy Tuesday! Virginia-bred, LA-based artist / producer, Peter $un, returns with his new EP ‘Phone Calls Gimme Anxiety’ out today via Red Bull Records / Mind Of A Genius.
Creating the project was a therapeutic and transformative endeavor for Peter $un. The rapper, vocalist, producer, and mental health advocate channeled everything from his experiences and emotions navigating his career to the loss of his brother to drug addiction into the music. He elaborates, “This is my most vulnerable. I feel like it’s my growing process from ‘Scumbaby’. It’s a cocoon phase before the album where the transformation happens. This project was a venting moment for me and a closing chapter on my past.”
Consciously releasing during Minority Mental Health Awareness Month (July), Phone Calls Gimme Anxiety opens with lead single "Metamorphosis (Butterfly)," an intentional and aspirational piece about embracing change and manifesting evolution. Sunny shares, “This was inspired by an energy of renewal. This was one of the first songs I wrote after my brother passing that I spoke on it at all. It was like a release of pent-up emotions and just throwing it all out. The message is growth. Learning how to deal with growing pains and becoming the person I see myself as and leaving the old me behind.”
Throughout the six-track EP, Peter $un expresses themes of personal growth, self-awareness, escapism, and retribution before ending with "U Smell Like Da Color Yellow," — an eloquent nod to the neo-soul movement and his mother, who first introduced him to the power of music as therapy. ‘Phone Calls Gimme Anxiety’ sets the tone for Peter $un’s next chapter and has received praise from All Hip-Hop, Attack the Culture, Consequence, Elevator, HipHopDX, HipHopWired, and more.
