3 Years After Nipsey’s Passing, Hit-Boy & Pacman Da Gunman Release Joint Project ‘Bulletproof Soul’

Published

on

Above everything else, Pacman da Gunman is a man of principle with a bulletproof belief system. The South Central rapper will never do something just to do it, everything is calculated and intentional, nothing is forced. When Pacman connected with Hit-boy the musical chemistry was undeniable. Having heard the classic records like “Racks In The Middle” Hit created with Nipsey Hussle in the past, and Pac being Nip’s protege, the fit was natural. The two began working on a then untitled project, producing nearly twenty songs and eventually choosing the best nine. To say Hit-Boy was in his zone would be an understatement, this project was being recorded at Chalice Studios during the same time Nas was recording Kings Disease. Pac knew when he left the studio God’s Son was coming in right after him and he wouldn’t allow his sessions to be any less prolific.

‘Bulletproof Soul’ is a powerful statement made by Pacman da Gunman to stake his claim at the top of the West Coast rap food chain. A man with a teflon reputation, lyrics and flow to match. The album is named after one of his favorite songs by Sade, and as a reference to Nipsey’s lyrics on Victory Lap “Hunnit proof flow, run and shoot pro, 458 drop, playing Bullet Proof Soul”. The nine track album takes you on a ride from brash gangster rap on “Banging Late” and “Cold Nights on 60th St” to braggadocious tracks like “New Heat” with J Stone, to relatable relationship songs “Find a Balance” with Dom Kennedy and lastly vivid storytelling on “Till We Meet Again” which details his point of view on March 31st 2019 when his dear friend and mentor Nipsey Hussle was slain outside the Marathon Store. March 31st isn’t a day of celebration, but a day of reflection and 3 years later, with Hit-Boy and Pacman releasing an incredible body of work, it is clear the marathon continues. 

Released via independent Los Angeles record label OTR Records.

Still riding “High” off his recent collaboration with Dylan Chambers and ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance’ GRAMMY win for Lil Durk’s “All My Life” featuring J. Cole earlier this year, Miami musician LunchMoney Lewis delivers “Rain or Shine.” Co-produced by JulianBeatz & BRIANXWHITE, “Rain or Shine” is a record about believing things will get better even when everything feels hopeless. In current times where there is so much pain in the world, Lewis wrote the Hip-Hop / R&B-influenced track to help us overcome life’s hurdles with love.

“In light of everything going on in the world, I’ve been in a very tough place creatively about what I wanna write about. Seeing so many innocent lives taken pushed me to make something that gives people hope in some fashion, rain or shine. We will continue to push love and love only, even in the face of darkness,” states the talented triple threat about the inspiration behind his latest leak.

Best known for his work with Dr. Luke as a producer, LunchMoney Lewis first broke into wide recognition as a rapper after appearing on the song “Trini Dem Girls” from Nicki Minaj’s 2014 album ‘The Pinkprint.’ He also co-wrote Jessie J’s single “Burnin’ Up” from her album ‘Sweet Talker,’ and Fifth Harmony’s single “Bo$$” from the album ‘Reflection.’ In 2015, he released his debut single as a solo artist, “Bills”, which peaked at 79 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number one on the ARIA Charts.
