West Coast rapper/alt-pop artist Wes Period returns today with a new song “My Benz,” along with an accompanying music video. This marks the first new original song in more than 18 months for the Orange County-born and bred artist-songwriter-producer.
On “My Benz”, Wes collaborated with Finnish producer Hank Solo to blend his urban roots with pop-punk melodies, all the while maintaining his signature bright and often hazy lyrical flow. “My Benz” plays through as lighthearted and fun, while the underlying meaning is more introspective – focusing in on Wes’ car as a metaphor for materialism and success.
