Sublime for Summer, Check Out "MY FAVORITE DRUG" by Peter $un

If you’d like to let go of your worries for a few minutes, “MY FAVORITE DRUG” by Peter $un could be exactly what you need.

Peter $un, initially from Richmond, Virginia, currently resides in Los Angeles. He creates soulful hip-hop music that is tastefully weaved with elements of jazz and other genres, as he dives into topics including his trials, aspirations, relationships, and more. Although his style is often laid-back, his authenticity and drive can’t be ignored.

On July 10th, Peter $un released the music video for “MY FAVORITE DRUG” and the visuals perfectly match the vibe of the song.

Across a mostly barren desert, Peter $un drives, accompanied by the dancer Jasmine Bunn. A dusty blue sky stretches above them and his red car pops against the scenery tinted with shades of yellow, green, and brown. As the song advances, a bandit chases them, but they mostly focus on the fun they’re having together.

To make the video even more lively, two additional dancers, LoLo Harris, and Hannah Oyibo, arrive and join Jasmine Bunn for an upbeat dance routine. Their smiles, moves, and energy are all contagious.

Lost in each other’s company, the bandit creeps up on the couple, but suddenly Peter $un startles as he wakes up, seemingly alone in the desert. With the colors, the dance sequence, and the pursuing bandit, the video efficiently captures a hazy dream. It also fits the title and lyrics of the song, which concerns a woman Peter $un is completely absorbed in, due to her charm and demeanor.

MY FAVORITE DRUG” is already a relaxing, lighthearted, and playful song. However, the video gives it a peculiar, yet entertaining and easygoing storyline. If you need a boost of energy, watch “MY FAVORITE DRUG” and look forward to Peter $un’s next EP, 3PIECE, set to drop on August 15th.
