“Peace Ain’t Cheap” is the concise new single from Pags, an even more unmovable and stoic foundation for him to follow up with his charting hit “Monaco Gold,” not to mention over 200 placements worldwide. This time, Pags is back with a track that has a powerful mindset.
The track is already living up to its weight. With a few dozen placements on Spotify, radio, and blogs spanning the U.S., Europe, Africa, and beyond, Pags’ statement has definitely resonated across borders. Pags’ lyrical delivery throughout the entire record makes his defiance even more evident.
“Peace Ain’t Cheap” shines as an unabashed declaration of self-defense and an expression of unapologetic resilience. It’s lean, cinematic, and purposeful, an aesthetic built for apprehension, not dissimilar to a dark alley scene in a caper movie. Its slick beat gives Pags the necessary room to execute melodic flows with well-knit bars.
“Peace Ain’t Cheap” is a head-nod-worthy rap banger on the surface, but it requires repeat listens to truly appreciate. At a deeper level, it’s sung as an affirmation of walking in unwavering worth. As Pags continues to build hype around his next moves, “Peace Ain’t Cheap” protects what’s sacred, moves with awareness, and refuses to apologize for your peace. But in this world, peace comes at a price, as Pags points out, and he won’t give it up for anyone.
