Peter $un: Of course 'My Favorite Drug' is your must-see Tuesday clip
If you remember getting the chance to check out Peter $un last year around these parts, you definitely noticed how much I co-signed and - simply said - loved what the Virginia-bred, Los Angeles-based hip-hp artist brought to the culture. Witty rhymes. A signature sound. Insane production courtesy of his Phone Calls Gimme Anxiety album. So it’s only right his new ‘My Favorite Drug’ music video demands your attention.

Richmond-to-LA rapper, producer, and songwriter Peter $un today announced his next EP, 3PIECE is set to arrive August 15 via Red Bull Records/Mind of a Genius. Leading with the new single, “My Favorite Drug,” the track sets the tone for summer with its groovy house-inspired beat and Sunny’s signature laid-back flow. It’s a vibe shift from his previous EP, Phone Calls Gimme Anxiety, which saw him process his brother’s passing in a deeply personal and introspective musical journey. Sunny is back and just wants people to let loose. That couldn’t be more clear in the accompanying video where we find him in a desert-fueled fever dream complete with a dance sequence and an off-road car chase.
Sunny shares, “I feel like coming out of Covid and all the losses we’ve had the past couple years, my music was reflecting that during the time of my EP, ‘Phone Calls Gimme Anxiety’. With the new music, I really wanted to make people feel good and dance. It’s got that funk/house bounce to it. This one is for the house parties, the cook outs, and all that.”
3PIECE will mark Sunny’s first body of work in 2023, following a busy year of live performances and forthcoming projects. In April he played to a packed crowd at LA’s famed Roxy alongside YGTUT, and in May he took to Anderson .Paak’s beloved .Paak House event in Ventura. Later this summer, his episode of the popular YouTube series “On Site” will air from the creators at Spring Hill Company, the entertainment development and production company founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter. The video will debut a special live version of his new song, “Burn Like Fire.” Beyond music, Sunny continues to lean into his passion for painting with his talents on display in the artwork for 3PIECE and more to come.
3PIECE Tracklist
1. Burn Like Fire

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.

Virginia-bred, LA-based rapper, Peter $un aka Sunny, returns with his new single “Pay Me No Mind,” out today via Red Bull Records / Mind Of A Genius. The first new music to drop since his successful 2021 album ‘Scumbaby’, the track starts the next chapter of Peter $un’s ever-evolving story.
“Pay Me No Mind” was written by Peter $un and co-produced by long-time collaborator Blue Rondo (Young Thug, IDK). The songs stripped back production is simple but effective, providing a perfect foundational bounce to deliver Sunny’s boastful lyrics.
“Pay me no mind is my toxic braggadocious rap song. It’s just me wanting to flex on all the people who doubted me. It’s that underdog song, underdog attitude. I still want to prove everybody wrong who doubted me. Petty Sunny.”- Peter $un.
The song is a taste of Peter $uns upcoming EP, ‘Phone Calls Gimme Anxiety’, which is set to drop July 22, 2022. The project was a therapeutic and transformative endeavor for Sunny. Fans will be treated to a deeply personal journey through vibey hip-hop soundscapes and hypnotic cadences.
