"The Quiet Don" is a truly fitting title for hip-hop's reigning king of cannabis, Berner. Over the course of the past decade, Berner's established himself as a prolific MC and a cannabis mogul with the Cookies strain. Though you can imagine that working in the cannabis industry is time-consuming, Berner manages to put out numerous projects a year.
Today, Berner released his latest project, Russ Bufalino: The Quiet Don. Serving as his official follow-up to The Warning, his joint project with R-Mean, Berner's latest project is 17 songs in length with a star-studded tracklist including appearances from DMX, Wiz Khalifa, Trippie Redd, Damian Marley, Tee Grizzley, G Herbo, and many more. It's Berner's first solo project of the year, and third overall. Check it out below and let us know what your favorite track is in the comments.
