While some fans are still getting to know who Berner is, Berner isn’t new to the genre.
The rapper has released as many as 10 independent solo projects over the course of his career, to a devoted fan base up and down the West Coast and across the Midwest and Southern states.
“The Bay has always been ground zero for swag and making it happen on the independent level, so working with Taylor Gang is big. I been doing this dog and I have like 10 albums out and my own label, so its just a good experience to switch over and still do my own thing,” Berner told AllHipHop.com. “I signed a four or five album deal with Wiz’s own label, and I think I’ll prob do another mixtape and then drop an album. It seems like everything is good, this is my first time that I ever dropped a mixtape, because I was about that bread trying to get that paper. I was comfortable selling 23,000 copies. I got my bread and I was cool. You have some mixtapes that shut down the internet so I didn’t know how it would do but we are at over 25,000 views in the first few days.”
When asked about how he came up with the medicinal marijuana friendly title for his mixtape, Berner simply said that he was inpired by a fan that showed him several pictures of his herbal grow set up.
“What made me think of it, is that everyone grows weed in the Bay Area. I was doing a show in the Modesto and this tatted up, street dude came up to me and he showed me all these pics on his phone of his grow set up. I was like, ‘Damn, this dude is growing tree too?’ Its nothing but urban farmers out here. Now you have everyone growing herb and before it was just old white dudes in the hills. I want to embrace that culture and let people know that its real, its a culture,” Berner explained.
Not only has Berner been known to be an outspoken supporter of medicinal marijuana use, but he also is no stranger to the strip clubs.
He combined the world’s in his “Stoner Girls Gone Wild,” video series, where Berner pushes internet censorship to the limits.
“Just type in ‘Berner,’ and ‘Stoner Girls Gone Wild,’ Berner Presents Stoner Girls Gone Wild (NSFW) | Hail Mary Jane and you will know what we are about. You will be like, ‘What the f**k?’ I made a b***h hit the Trippy Stick with her p****y, and I made this other chick smoke it with her ass. The first one got a million views on the first day, the second one did several million the first day too,” Berner said.
“I be in the strip club. As soon as I get off the road today, I’m gonna change and I dont care if its 7:30, 8:30, 10:30 or 11:30, I be in the strip club, thats how we run,” he added.
As far as Berner’s music and his mixtape, he put together 21-tracks for his old and new fans that are just catching on, as he joins forces with Wiz’s Taylor Gang movement.
“Yea man its 21-tracks and we did it pretty quick. In like month we put it together, so I just knocked it out quick. All the features just happened real fast, the features on ‘Certified Freak’ and the Chris Brown track all happened quick,” Berner said.
