Recently, Pit Baccardi unveiled a collaboration with Jey Brownie, an artist known for his versatility. Initially rooted in a 93 BPM sound, Jey Brownie quickly set himself apart through bold visuals and forward-thinking tracks, earning him a unique place in the Francophone rap scene. Together, they deliver “Me & My Girlfriend”, a reinterpretation of Tupac’s classic from his posthumous album “Makaveli”—where the rapper famously compares his relationship to his firearm. The phrase, made iconic by Tupac, was later reimagined by Jay-Z in “Bonnie & Clyde” as a tribute to Beyoncé. Here, Pit Baccardi and Jey Brownie deliver a smoother, more introspective take on the concept, blending timeless inspiration with a contemporary edge.
Pit Baccardi & Jey Brownie – “Me & My Girlfriend”
The instrumental is produced by PSK, a seasoned beatmaker known for crafting “Blue Story” by Ninho, “Nephilim” by Zed, and “Cramer” by Jok’Air. Driven by a subtle afrobeat-inspired melody, the production stays true to its rap DNA. Pit Baccardi nods to the original Tupac track with the line “Comme 2Pac, c’est Me & My Girlfriend” and pays homage to 113 and their cult project with the bar “Africaine ma pègre, prince de la ville comme 113.”
Pit Baccardi lays down his mindset with precision:
“You and me, we’ll break every rule,
I stole your heart, pulled off the heist of the century.
Glass of Petrus, I down it straight.”
The video, directed by Hypnoz, continues the cinematic aesthetic of Pit’s artistic revival. A long-time collaborator, Hypnoz weaves together a series of shots set in luxurious yet enigmatic spaces, enhanced by a deliberately hazy, filmic atmosphere. He previously directed “Ambition” and “Feu” for Pit Baccardi, as well as “Pourquoi tu m’aimes ?” for Niro and Potter Payper.
