“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.

Arcángel Celebrates His 20th Anniversary With Big Outdoor Shows in Toronto and Montreal

The Puerto Rican urban music star brought his global La 8va Maravilla tour to Montreal's Beachclub and Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on July 11-12 for its first two stops of the summer, performing over an hour and a half of hits spanning two decades.

Arcángel is celebrating 20 years of success. The Latin urban music legend kicked off his global trek, the La 8va Maravilla tour, with two Canadian stops, playing Montreal's Beachclub on July 11 and Toronto's RBC Amphitheatre on July 12. The Puerto Rican hitmaker treated the audience to over an hour and a half of hits including 2000s classics and recent party-starters.

Kicking off the show, Lunay delivered a charismatic opening set, showcasing his knack for melodies through tracks like "Fantasías" and "Soltera," which reached the Billboard Hot 100 in 2019 thanks to its hit remix with Bad Bunny and Daddy Yankee. The track received a vibrant roar from the crowd upon its first note, and Lunay delivered all three verses as fans sang every word.
