bbno$, antidepressants [📷: bbno$ / Stem]bbno$ continues to entertain ‘something fierce’ on his brief but potent single, “antidepressants,” which is sure to have you “feelin’ good today.”

“I’m on them antidepressants, we feelin’ good today.” bbno$ (Alexander Gumuchian) is back, and not long after releasing “check”.  This time, our confident, handsome, and hilarious Canadian brings “antidepressants”. Gumuchian penned “antidepressants” alongside Ian Roller, Valentine Brunn, and producer dwilly (David Wilson). Brief, clocking in under two minutes, it proves to be another ear-catching bop from bbno$.

“Antidepressants” opens lushly, with a fluty, windchime-heavy intro. That is before more intriguing sounds enter the mix, including menacing synth bass, sickening synths, and pummeling drums. The groove kicks ass and takes names, no cap! As always, bbno$ drops ridiculous, profane rhymes. “Freezing from the ice, I need a peacoat / Yeah, I touch that butt, call me Nеmo,” he raps in the first verse, continuing, “Keep it white outside, Al Pacino / Asics on my feet ’cause I’m a chеap-o.” Ooh-wee! His cadence and flow remain top-notch. His agile rhymes and playful approach are indeed, “the shit,” which he says he is on the infectious chorus:

“I’m on them antidepressants, we feelin’ good today

Watch me make an entrance, yeah, I’m the shit today

Antidepressants, a-a-antidepressants

Watch me make an entrance, yeah, I’m the shit today.”

The second verse is as entertaining as the first, where bbno$ asserts, “She wanna get dick from me, I’m baby no polygamy…” Never change, bbno$.  “antidepressants” is not a profound track, nor is it meant to be. But Gumuchian continues to entertain ‘something fierce’ and not take himself too seriously.  That is a win!
