Pro Era co-founder and platinum selling producer Powers Pleasant is quickly rising in the ranks of go to producers. He has proven that he can create a smash hit like Joey Badass’ “Devastated”. But he has also built a reputation on meticulously crafting tracks for groups like his Beast Coast comrades to air out. Powers is killing the game with group tracks like Pro Era’s “The Shift” or his own record “Please Forgive” featuring Denzel Curry, IDK, Zombie Juice and Zillakami.
That got the Sway’s Universe team thinking about groups that we would like to hear on a Powers Pleasant beat. See our picks below and let us know if you agree.
DJ Wonder’s Picks
Sway’s Picks
Sway went with a true pack of lyrical hyenas led by Black Thought. And the rest of his group which includes Cyhi The Prynce, Saba Pivot, YBN Cordae & WS Boogie
Reg The Ruler’s Picks
An early 2000’s nostalgic feel with Lloyd Banks, Fabolous and Joe Budden. Imagine pulling Joe out of retirement to get back to the old Mouse and pairing him with two other lyrical assassins to recreate the feeling of “6 Minutes of Death”. Crazy. RIP Stack Bundles.
Gooz’s Picks
Powers Pleasant beats have an aspirational, reflective and thought provoking vibe. They also are the beats that you really want to hear spitters on. I’d like to hear an introspective Meek Mill, an aspirational Nipsey Hussle and a thought provoking Wale. And add in Jay Electronica to play Mariano Rivera and close it.
DB’s Picks
Trying to recreate that feeling from their “Banned From TV” remake, Oswin Benjamin, Shawn Smith, and Chris Rivers would always be my go to’s for a dope posse track. And adding Nick Grant makes this
Regardless of who Powers links up with, it is going to be something worth looking out for. Lookout for him in the release of the latest Doomsday Cypher!
