The new era of heroin rap is sadly upon us

Hip Hop has always been influenced by drugs. Whether it was drunken freestyles on the corner, or cannabis inspired stoner verses, drugs have always played a role in music.  There is even a sub-genre of rap known as coke rap. 

Now the new thing is apparently shooting heroin. The latest viral video is this battle rapper shooting up heroin in the middle of a battle.

I lost a college friend to heroin. He started with oxycontin pills and moved on to shooting heroin. To each his own I guess, but I find it extremely depressing to see so many people losing lives to these horrible drugs.

I wrote a song about my friend and drugs in general. Here it is:

Heroin sucks!
