The Announcement:
A living, breathing refutation of the “lazy stoner” stereotype, Berner is one of the most prolific artists and entrepreneurs in the rap game. Preparing his fourth album of 2019, Berner announces La Plaza, his upcoming album. Complete with glistening instrumentals, La Plaza is an atmospheric, weeded-out epic, complete with a huge array of guest stars from all over the hip-hop spectrum. Tapping to his heritage, Berner’s latest emphasizes a Latin flavor in the production, and boasts guest spots from Spanish-speaking emcees like De La Ghetto, Jon Z, and Ñengo Flow. Featuring additional appearances from Snoop Dogg, Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown, Fat Joe, Cypress Hill, Mozzy, OMB Peezy, Nef The Pharaoh, Lil Pete, and more, La Plaza hits the internet on November 11th via Bern One Entertainment/EMPIRE.
To accompany the announcement of the upcoming album, Berner shares the video for “La Plaza.” Produced with signature invention by The RZA, “La Plaza” is a Latin-influenced banger, complete with wavy keyboards, chugging live percussion, and Mariachi horns. The track boasts appearances from Berner’s fellow Marijuana appreciators Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa, who help transform the track into a quintessential stoner’s anthem. Directed by Farid, the video is a hazily cinematic clip, complete with Cookies smoke, wads of cash, and hotboxed suburbans. “La Plaza” follows the video for “Going Out Like That,” featuring Fat Joe & De La Ghetto.
In addition to being one of the game’s busiest rappers, Berner is an accomplished entrepreneur in the Cannabis industry. His most famous creation is the Girl Scout Cookies strain, which helped birth Cookies SF, one of the world’s leading Cannabis lifestyle brands. Berner was intimately involved in the creation of the first marijuana dispensary in San Francisco’s Upper Haight district, founded Hemp2O, a hemp-based health beverage company, created the novelty (non-THC) chocolate company KoKoNuggz, and created Re:Stash, a company that makes childproof cannabis storage jars. With an undying passion for connecting the worlds of Marijuana and Music, stay tuned for much more from Berner this year and in the future.
