Music Appreciation
A year into the pandemic, I found myself enjoying TikTok videos featuring animal run effects. One such video showed bbno$ catching his sleepy girlfriend as she ran to escape a computer-generated stampede (link). Out of curiosity, I clicked on his profile and stumbled upon "Edamame."
"Edamame," released on July 23, 2021, is a collaboration between Canadian rapper bbno$ (Alexander Leon Gumuchian) and Indonesian rapper Rich Brian (Brian Imanuel). The track serves as the second single from bbno$’s sixth studio album, Eat Ya Veggies.
The collaboration began when bbno$ and producer Diamond Pistols developed the initial version of the song. bbno$ then reached out to Rich Brian, who promptly contributed his verse. Together, they completed the track in the studio.
Lyrically, "Edamame" is defined by its playful and boastful tone, with both artists rapping about wealth, luxury, and rising fame. The song features an energetic beat by Diamond Pistols that matches the humorous, confident lyrics. Its catchy hook and lively rhythm helped the song go viral on TikTok, where it appeared in over 10 million videos and garnered more than two billion views.
The music video for "Edamame," directed by Reggie., adds a visual layer of humor and absurdity. In the video, bbno$ and Rich Brian wear medieval armor and perform over-the-top antics around a lavish Los Angeles mansion, blending historical cosplay with contemporary settings.
