Powers Pleasant Breaks Down Five Key ‘Life Sucks’ Songs: ‘You Don’t Grow In Comfort’
The fast-rising New York producer breaks down five key tracks from his 'Life Sucks' album.
From the COVID-19 pandemic to the sweeping Black Lives Matter protests that rocked his hometown of Brooklyn, NY, this trying half-decade culminated in Powers’ sophomore effort, the thrilling Life Sucks, which he released on Oct. 4 as his first full-length project on Mass Appeal. Featuring a plethora of hip-hop heavyweights, including A$AP Ferg, Denzel Curry, Joey Bada$$, Mike Dimes, Saba, Dro Kenji, Dc the Don, AG Club and Guapdad 4000, Life Sucks explores the dark introspection that characterized much of the last five years, as well as the boundless energy and verve that New York’s rap scene recently channeled into fusions of drill and Jersey club. Life Sucks also features its fair share of women in hip-hop — such as Audrey Nuna, Armani Caesar, Tkay Maidza – putting the record in conversation with female rapper’s mainstream dominance in 2024.
