The Song:

Bay Area wild child Roach Gigz is serving up his new single "Drugs." The track features fellow Bay rapper DB The General, and is the latest track to be released from Roach's forthcoming Bitch I'm A Player mixtape, now scheduled for a July 20th release.

It's no secret that Roach Gigz and DB enjoy the occasional high, but "Drugs" isn't exactly an anthem for substance abuse. With the opening lines, "I've popped pills that will make the lion in wizard of oz grow balls/ I probably got holes in my brain the size of cheerios and lose change," Roach delivers something more than just rhymes. "I was trying to describe that feeling of courage you get when you pop an ecstasy pill, while at the same time warning of the damage that popping pills can have on the brain," says Roach. "I don't want to promote drugs, I just wanted to explain my experience with them."

C-Loz, who produced all the songs on Bitch I'm A Player, provides a beat as heavy as the subject matter – and maybe even more addictive. The beat also serves as a perfect compliment to DB's nasally, frenetic vocals, as he raps, "I can't believe I'm still alive... So many drugs up in my system, yeah, I'm hella high." Along with a super old-school sample of a man repeating the phrase "drugs, smoking, popping drugs," the track alone will make the listener feel like they got slipped a tab of PCP. "The song kind of feels like you're on drugs, and I just wanted to make a song that people can party to, on drugs or off them," says Roach. "Now dance, bitch!"

Fans can also look forward to Roach's video for recent single, "F A Chorus," which was shot and directed by Kreayshawn and will be released soon.

The Background:

Selected as one of 106 KMEL's Top 10 Freshman Rappers of the Bay Area, 21-year-old San Francisco native Roach Gigz has gone from virtually unknown to one of the hottest artists on the West Coast in just four years. Born and raised in the Bay Area, Roach was conceived in Nicaragua during the Contra and Sandinista war. Named after a combination of the character Roach from the movie Next Friday and his high school days dancing skills, Roach Gigz first gained local fame with close friend Lil 4Tay as one half of the group Bitch I Go (B.I.G.). Now, after two successful Roachy Bolboa mixtapes, a mtvU Freshmen 5 victory and a MTV2 Sucker Free feature under his belt, Roach is prepping his latest mixtape, Bitch I'm A Player, which will be released July 20, 2011. The BIAP mixtape will be followed in August with a limited edition physical release that will also include his previous Roachy Balboa mixtapes, as well as his debut mixtape, Buckets & Booty Calls."
