Listen: Bari – ‘F*@k It…Burn It All Down’

Bari has undoubtedly attested to his status as a breakthrough artist. 

Ultimately, the 28-year-old formulates a staple of sound that’s solely his and his alone, revolutionizing the style of modern trap music with intermittent basslines, wavering hi-hats, ethereal-like soundscapes, and other stimulating elements composed by producers like VZNBlake WrightMonte BookerAlley Knock, and Niko the Great. Not to mention, the rapper adorns his flossy, melodic cadence with candid lyrics and ebullient ad-libs that you can’t help but to run back. 

His songs often tell a tale of a man whos about his business. The lyrics support this notion by highlighting his ability to “work hard, play hard,” his undying hustle, and his list of accomplishments, to name a few. Given all this, it’s no wonder why Bari has the right to brag.

“I always wanted to transcend. I want people to feel something. Feel joy,” he continues. 

Bari is a musician based out of St. Louis, Missouri, an area that’s prone to “put a little edge to you.” Around the clock, he strives to be the greatest ever. 

The pseudonym, Bari, came about because this is what most people call him. Music was pretty much in his DNA. Growing up, he got to experience the immense love that his parents had for art. Moreover, his father was a poet, so Bari began writing in his younger years. Since then, he’s been solidifying his spot in the hip-hop game. 

His inspiration comes from artists like PharrellFutureDrakeLil WayneJay-ZMarvin GayeMichael JacksonColdplayTame Impala, and Kanye West.

Following the momentum of his album, Layer Cake, Bari dropped an 18-track project titled F*@k It…Burn It All Down. 

“When your backs against the wall. You are facing steep odds, under pressure. That’s your chance to burn the brightest, your chance to shine the brightest,” he says about the album’s message. 

In a word, F*@k It…Burn It All Down finds Bari on go mode as he speaks about his charm, getting to the bag, donning the best drip, and smoking on exotic. He also propels confidence to new heights as he details his accomplishments. Like he briefly states in his song, “All Of A Sudden,” “F*ck being humble.” The tracks also provide listeners with a blend of genres, infectious energy, and melodic direction. The common denominator? You’ll feel super fly once you press play. 

Bari resonates with the track “I’m Raw,” where he speaks shortly on what’s been weighing on his mind. In terms of car tunes, he recommends for others to put on “Jiggaman.”
