“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.

Here’s Why ‘Shake It to the Max’ Was Deemed Ineligible at the 2026 Grammys — And Why Its Label Calls the Decision ‘Devoid of Any Common Sense’

Representatives from the Recording Academy and gamma. CEO Larry Jackson comment on one of this year's most shocking Grammy snubs.

Few phrases define the year in music and culture like Moliy’s scintillating directive to “shake it to the max.” The Ghanaian singer’s sultry voice reverberated across the globe, blending her own Afropop inclinations with Jamaican dancehall-informed production, courtesy of Miami-based duo Silent Addy and Disco Neil. Originally released in December 2024, Moliy’s breakthrough global crossover hit ascended to world domination, peaking at No. 6 on the Global 200, thanks to a remix featuring dancehall superstars Shenseea and Skillibeng. Simply put, “Max” soundtracked a seismic moment in African and Caribbean music in 2025.

Given its blockbuster success, “Shake It to the Max” was widely expected to be a frontrunner in several categories at the 2026 Grammys. In fact, had the song earned a nomination for either best African music performance or best global music performance, many forecasters anticipated a victory. So, when “Shake It to the Max” failed to appear on the final list of 2026 Grammy nominees in any category earlier this month (Nov. 7), listeners across the world were left scratching their heads — none more than gamma. CEO Larry Jackson.
