Prettifun: “Quarters Pennies”There are a ton of Pi’erre Bourne Mini-Mes gallivanting around, but Prettifun might be the best. After producing the only two Che songs that have really moved me (“Pizza Time” and “Miley Cyrus”), the Charlotte rapper-beatmaker put out two mixtapes in two months that both sound like sprinting through a daisy field. The first, Pretti, is mostly self-produced, and the newest one, FunHouse, slots their sunkissed, head-in-the-clouds sing-raps onto bubbly beats by internet favorites like Ginseng, Misogi, and Iankon. Iankon is behind “Quarter Pennies,” a lovey-dovey audio meet-cute. As is the Pi’erre way, Prettifun’s lyrics are mostly secondary to the sugar rush, though small details—like the Denny’s run-in that turns into a hookup—elevate the vibe into something a little more heartfelt.With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it’s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That’s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.Check out previous Ones, and listen to new rap from Prettifun more on our Spotify playlist.
