"Barbiturates" by Bruiser Wolf and Twista, with production from Raphy, is one of the most dizzying hip-hop cuts you'll hear this week.

Bruiser Wolf's dynamic and fast rap style is clearly influenced in part by rappers like Twista. That's what makes their collaborative track "Barbiturates" so special, as their chemistry makes for a very engaging cut. Raphy's production is very muffled and noisy at first, opening the door for smooth-as-butter verses from Bruiser and Twista. It's a simple soul flip, but it leaves enough open space for the MCs to take the spotlight. Their clever wordplay, sense of humor, and impassioned deliveries shows why their skill on the mic is so respected. Hopefully "Barbiturates" isn't the last link-up we hear between these three artists.

Quotable Lyrics from Barbiturates

They see the Benjamins and want to piggy-back,
No thanks, it's only one slot at the top like a piggy bank,

Gabriel Bras Nevares is a staff writer for HotNewHipHop. He joined HNHH while completing his B.A. in Journalism & Mass Communication at The George Washington University in the summer of 2022. Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Gabriel treasures the crossover between his native reggaetón and hip-hop news coverage, such as his review for Bad Bunny’s hometown concert in 2024. But more specifically, he digs for the deeper side of hip-hop conversations, whether that’s the “death” of the genre in 2023, the lyrical and parasocial intricacies of the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle, or the many moving parts of the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. Beyond engaging and breaking news coverage, Gabriel makes the most out of his concert obsessions, reviewing and recapping festivals like Rolling Loud Miami and Camp Flog Gnaw. He’s also developed a strong editorial voice through album reviews, think-pieces, and interviews with some of the genre’s brightest upstarts and most enduring obscured gems like Homeboy Sandman, Bktherula, Bas, and Devin Malik.
