“Drugs You Should Try It” has long been a fan favorite of Travis Scott followers, and the Days Before Rodeo gem finally has an official music video more than a decade after its original 2014 release.

La Flame released the trippy “Drugs You Should Try It” visual on Tuesday (Aug. 18) after DBR came to streaming services last Friday (Aug. 23) in celebration of Scott’s mixtape turning 10 years old.


The clip kicks off with an homage to Virgil Abloh, who designed the neon-lit smoking cowboy sign that makes an appearance. Scott starts free-falling into a pool of despair and allows his mind to drift into the depths of his conscious.

“Are you home alone in the mood,” the screen reads turning Scott’s lyrics into an ad. “1800 397 8669.” The Houston rager emerges from the bath tub and attempts to reconnect with reality while shaking off visions of a burning house and morgue.

Scott celebrated the 10th anniversary of Days Before Rodeo with a concert in Atlanta on Thursday night (Aug. 22) ahead of the project’s streaming arrival. He performed “Drugs You Should Try It” and nearly the entire project. He also brought out Quavo as a special guest for “Sloppy Toppy.”

The digital deluxe edition is available with five previously unreleased tracks from the DBR era for $4.99, which has the mixtape expected to earn premium real estate on next week’s Billboard 200.

On the merchandise side, La Flame teamed up with Cactus Plant Flea Market for a “Free Thugger” hoodie, which is now available on his website for $160.
