On the lookout for a track that serves as both a hype anthem and a dose of sobering clarity? Then look no further than Chef Porter‘s latest single, “Suite Life.” Born and raised in New York, Chef Porter isn’t just a seasoned musician; he’s also a celebrity chef with nearly three decades in the game. From the word go, Porter sets himself as the kind of guy who matches his words with deeds, and that energy is infectious.
The title track to his recently released Suite Life EP kicks off with a nod to the fame and the hurdles that come with it. Singer-songwriter Will Jordan opens with the haunting lines “Everywhere we go people know our names/ Buy another round to wash away the pain/ They don’t understand from how far we came/ So we just take a bow and charge it to the game” subtly acknowledging that the path to success is littered with moments that can be both bitter and sweet.
” ‘Suite Life’ is a coming of age story that speaks to keeping the people that push for you close, with winning together being the ultimate goal.”

But it’s not all about the struggle; the chorus invites you into a life of hard-earned luxury, a “sweet life” that’s both plush and real. And throughout the piece, Chef talks about loyalty, being selective with your circle, and having a CEO mindset. He even claps back at critics who claim his success is only luck, all while sipping on a stiff bourbon.
Producers CLCII and Mark Byrd lay down a beat that’s a mix of quick drums, crashing cymbals, ethereal choir sounds, and futuristic synths. It’s expansive, setting the stage for Chef Porter‘s slightly gruff, Empire State flow. It’s a track that’s as relatable as it is aspirational, making it a must-listen for anyone whose dreams are as big as their drive to make them come true.
