“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.

More Than ‘Luck’: How Hilary Duff Became An Arena Pop Star — and Bigger Than Ever

With a surprise smash album (her first in over a decade) and her biggest tour in a 25-year career, she’s reclaimed arena pop star status — and, next, stages around the world.

Hilary Duff’s kids were asleep on the tour bus as it pulled up to Austin’s Germania Insurance Amphitheater. It was 5 a.m., but Duff, high on adrenaline from her show the previous night, was wide-awake — just like she’d been for the seven nights prior. She hoped to finally get some sleep, but unfortunately for her, the amphitheater is next to the Circuit of the Americas racetrack, and a fleet of F1 cars were just starting their day.

“It was like, feeoooo, feeoooo, feeeoooo,” Duff says, approximating the sound of those cars throttling by at 150 miles an hour. Staring down another day of being a mother before getting onstage to be a pop star, Duff was on the verge of malfunction.
