Brent Faiyaz has issued the official music video for “Pistachios.” In the visual, the DMV representative takes the audience on a night out with no shortage of friends, women, and $100 bills.
Directed by Belt and courtesy of ISO Supremacy, the visual takes the chart-topping musician from a parking garage smoke session with his homies to a twerk-filled party house party, and of course, a studio session. Throughout the video, Brent Faiyaz’s jewelry serves as a focal point. The song is produced by Dpat and samples Adina Howard’s “If We Make Love Tonight.”
“Weather like minus 50 on my pinkie/ It’s like minus 80 on my lady,” brags the R&B singer. “That’s minor sh*t when you a major/ I design the sh*t that make the label.”
“I really like ‘Pistachios.’ That might be my favorite [on the album]. It started with Brent wanting to flip the Adina Howard song that we sampled on that, ‘If We Make Love Tonight.’ Maybe from there that kind of subconsciously set the mood of being a sample-heavy album or with a mixtape approach,” he explained.
“I think that did set the tone. A lot of the samples were Brent wanting to use them.”
Much like the aforementioned song and music video, the album was designed to bring listeners into the R&B singer’s atmosphere.
“This is how I see the world. This is my universe. This is what we do. This is what it feels like,” shared the 28-year-old with Rolling Stone. “What I look like letting motherfu**ers tell me what my world looks like?”
