Drugs
Blahza x OnlyM
Asian American hip-hop artist Blahza and Malaysian lo-fi producer OnlyM come together for another chillhop crossover: ‘Drugs', a laidback track that envelopes the listener in waves of relaxation. Driven by moody but minimalist soundscapes and smooth beats, the latest collaboration between Blahza and OnlyM settles comfortably into a simmer, taking a step forward in its attempt to embrace subtlety and introspection sonically and lyrically.
Blahza shares about the inspiration behind it: “Everything in life is going good and everyday I’m getting closer to my goals. I used to relax by numbing my mind with intoxicants and I reference that heavily throughout the song. By the end of the song I ask what’s a better high than you? It means that you can get a high from the people around you, like your significant other, or from yourself. You don’t need drugs to get high.”
To complement Blahza’s vision, OnlyM decided on a vibe that makes people feel good, highlighting a more optimistic but steady approach in terms of sound and feel. “I wanted something to make people feel good,” the underrated producer shares. “That you could chill out to as summer winds down, and reflect on the good times not just this year, but in life thus far.”

[Verse 1]
Im reminiscing in the summer breeze
The weather’s cloudy there’s a chance of weed
It’s not a chance
It’s a guarantee
You roll with Blahza
Then you VIP
I rock with real,
Nothing else can relate
Yeah we could roll a vibe
Catch a vibe
Till it’s late
I don’t believe in luck
Well I do i call it fate
I scored a bag of purp
By the pound
Call it grapes
My mama was a hippy
I can’t help with how I’m raised
Baby
We could spark a wood
Or we could talk about the future maybe
Ima be a star
You’ll be a teacher to my kids
Lady
Yo that’s just a start
See I hope I’m not intimidating
yeah, yeah
You wanted something serious
You done with the games
I wanna show you I don’t play
And put a smile on your face
[Chorus]
Ready or not
Na na na
Na na na na
Halfway to a mill
Tryna make it to the top
I’m smoking la da dee ah
Ready or not
Na na na
Na na na na
I was posted on the block
Feel like Curren$y smoking
On that la da dee da
Ready or not
Na na na
Na na na na
Halfway to a mill
Tryna make it to the top
I’m smoking la da dee ah
Hey
Ready or not
Na na na
Na na na na
Halfway to a mill
Tryna make it to the top
I’m smoking la da dee ah
Hey
