— Sosshouse Spring begins for Pi’erre Bourne and his Sosshouse label with the release of the first of 6 albums coming in the next few months.
When Pi’erre Bourne formed SossHouse, he had a vision of a collective or artists, united not by their similar qualities, but by what makes them distinct. Over the years, the Grammy-winning artist, producer, and entrepreneur cultivated a diverse and talented roster for the SossHouse label, and now, he’s ready to showcase their talents. Pi’erre Bourne has now announced the upcoming slate of projects by SossHouse artists: six mixtapes by SossHouse artists, each one produced in full by Pi’erre himself, released over the next six weeks.
“When I came up with the idea, it was basically like S-O-S-S, an acronym for Something Original, Something Symbolic. So, you have SOSS, as in it’s you, it’s originality. It’s just your own personal flavor.” – Pi’erre Bourne to XXL in 2022
The SossHouse Spring starts today with Still Trapp’n, a new mixtape by Frazier Trill. Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Frazier is a longtime signee to SossHouse, specializing in tough-talking, streetwise bars delivered through a thick Southern drawl. Slinking over Pi’erre Bourne’s instrumentals with effortless cool, Frazier Trill stands out in a crowded field of rising trappers. The South Carolina native’s unbothered drawl is a perfect match for his mentors atmospheric sound. On “Big Dog,” Frazier and fellow SossHouse standout Jelly flow between spiky guitars, “Lu Kang” offers a lumbering horror movie instrumental for his flexes, while the washed-out organs and sirenic synths of “System” perfectly match the desperation of Frazier’s lyrics.
On other highlights, like the 8-bit boss battle-style anthem “Steven Segal” and the bass-heavy “One Of A Kind,” Frazier shows off a strong sense of warbling auto-tuned melody, to better express his strong emotions. Still Trapp’n is available everywhere via SossHouse.
Frazier Trill first made waves with a 2021 mixtape, titled Frazier Trill, created in collaboration with Pi’erre Bourne. Last Fall, Frazier joined Pi’erre on the “Good Movie World Tour,” which brought Frazier to markets like Berlin, Paris, and more.
Still Trapp’n is only the first release in a stacked season of standout full-lengths. Next in line is Chavo and his anticipated mixtape Chavo’s World 3. The rising hitmaker is known for the 2021 viral hit “Michigan,” which eventually earned a remix with Babyface Ray, and recently collabed with Pi’erre for the “Call On Me” single and A$AP Ant and G.T. for the spicy “Wasabi” video. Chavo’s World 3 arrives on May 12th.
Third in line is Sharc, a Queens, NY-born rapper and one of the most promising on the SossHouse roster. Sharc made waves in 2021 with the Pi’erre-produced 47 Meters Down, and with “Drunk N Nasty,” a GOLD certified collaboration from Pi’erre’s The Life Of Pablo 5. The sequel to 47 Meters Down, Sharc Wave hits the streets on May 19th.
Chavo, Sharc, and Jelly, the SossHouse rapper behind the acclaimed project The Wolf of Peachtree 2, will perform on “The Hardest Out Tour“ this May. A blistering 4-date showcase of SossHouse’s singular style, “The Hardest Out Tour” kicks off in Houston on May 24th, continues in New York (May 25th) and Atlanta (May 27th) before finishing up in Los Angeles on May 28th. Tickets for “The Hardest Out Tour” are available now at MoveForwardMusic.com
Stay tuned later in the spring for new mixtapes from Atlanta’s Bermuda Yae, Spartanburg, SC’s favorite son J Billz, and Detroit rapper/producer Kura.
With these projects on deck, and the recent release of his own Grails EP, Pi’erre Bourne is proving himself to be the hardest working man in rap music. Guided by his vision and unmatchable work ethic, SossHouse season is only just beginning.
