(Review) Peter $un Is fosho Paying the Rent With This Project

There’s just something about a project that plays all the way through, no skips, no filler. That’s exactly what Peter $un cooked up with Rent Was Due… — a beautifully arranged, cohesive project that hits whether you run it front to back, back to front, or on shuffle. I’d personally consider this an R&B album at its core. Sure, there’s one straight-up rap joint (“Keep The Faith”), but the heart of this project is in the melodies, the vibe, and the songwriting.

The Soundtrack to Every Party

From the jump, the sonic direction had me hooked. The beat selection, the overall sound — it gave me late '90s Jagged Edge type vibes, the kind of records you can dance to at any function. This album sounds like a pool party, a house party, a day party... even those ladies’ night R&B parties that be poppin' off. The energy is feel-good through and through. If you’re having a bad day, throw this on — trust me.

It also helps that the features are on point. Rexx Life Raj, Buddy, and Joyce Wrice all slide on their records and really complement Peter $un’s style. And that track with Buddy, “Weighy On Me” — the Caribbean vibes on that one are perfect for the summer. You can tell Peter $un was intentional with every arrangement here. These aren’t just random tracks thrown together — this is a project built for the DJ to let it ride all night.

Our Favorite Records

Picking favorites wasn’t easy, but a few joints stood out on repeat listens. “U Got Me,” “Get Down,” and “Double Standards” featuring Joyce Wrice — these are the ones I keep coming back to. The melodies on these records are super catchy, relatable, and just plain fun. You can really hear how much thought went into crafting these moments.

Final Take

This is Peter $un’s first full-length project since 2023, and honestly, it sounds like he was really tryna pay the rent with this one — hence the title, Rent Was Due… And if the project does what it should, he’s definitely covering that rent and then some.

Hearing these records live is gonna be a vibe. And let’s be real — the ladies are going to love this one. If she doesn’t know who Peter $un is yet, after this project she’s gon’ be asking.

If you’re curating playlists for your next day party, house party, or late-night R&B set, this one’s a no-brainer. Just hit play and let Rent Was Due… do its thing.
