Drug Tzar – Big Hit, Hit-Boy & The Alchemist
Hip-Hop Heavyweight Hitters Unite: Big Hit, Hit-Boy & The Alchemist Drop Hard-Hitting “Drug Tzar”
Get ready for a sonic assault as a new hip-hop supergroup explodes onto the scene. Big Hit, Hit-Boy, and The Alchemist – three titans of the industry – join forces on “Drug Tzar,” the first single from their collaborative album “Black & Whites.” This hard-hitting track isn’t afraid to tackle tough subjects, offering a searing social commentary on the devastating effects of the drug trade.
“Drug Tzar” opens with a chilling sample that sets the tone: a stark reminder of the war on drugs and its impact on society. Big Hit then drops in, spitting verses that paint a vivid picture of the cycle of addiction and desperation fueled by the drug game.
Lines like “Fiends on the corner, they feenin’ for more / Dope boys be cookin’ up work in the kitchen” leave no room for sugarcoating the harsh realities of this world. Hit-Boy steps in seamlessly, matching Big Hit’s lyrical intensity with his own bars that expose the violence and despair that lurk beneath the surface.
The Alchemist, a legend in his own right, crafts the perfect soundscape for this lyrical onslaught. His signature dusty drums and haunting vocal samples create a sinister, boom-bap instrumental that perfectly complements the rappers’ aggressive flows. The hook features a chilling chant of “Drug tzar, drug tzar” in a pitched-down vocal, adding another layer of eeriness to the track.
The official music video further amplifies the song’s message. Directed by Shomi Patwary, the visuals utilize a stark black-and-white aesthetic, mirroring the album’s title. Opening with real news footage about the war on drugs, the video then depicts Big Hit and Hit-Boy in gritty urban environments, surrounded by drug paraphernalia and the desperation it fuels. “Drug Tzar” is a must-listen for any fan of hip-hop that isn’t afraid to confront uncomfortable truths.
Quotable Lyrics:
Exotic fruits and vegetables, models gettin’ sexual
Smoke you out to smoke you, toast with you then toast you
Take your final sip, you just got chipped over chips
Enjoy your final sip, you just got licked by your b****
Ahem, ahem, excuse me, I’m tryna get filthy
You’re kinda in the way, and I ain’t tryna feel guilty
