Multi-talented artist and producer OG Dayv marked this year’s 4/20 with the release of mixtape, ‘The Sour Diesel Eagle.’ Diving into the intersection of hip-hop culture and cannabis, OG Dayv’s latest project reflects his personal journey of self-discovery and creative expression.
For OG Dayv (@ogdayv), 4/20 holds a significance beyond just a date on the calendar. Reflecting on the cultural significance of the day, he shares, “4/20 is not only important for good health and understanding of self, but it’s also a day to celebrate the medicinal properties of weed.” Having found solace and inspiration in cannabis to cope with stress, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD, OG Dayv acknowledges the invaluable role that weed has played in his life. “Music takes on a new meaning after you listen to it stoned,” he adds. “It allows me to hear the different intricacies and instruments, fueling my creative process.”
In line with his commitment to connect with his fan base, many of whom are enthusiasts of marijuana, OG Dayv views releasing music on 4/20 as a sound business practice and a gesture of appreciation. “Consistency is key,” he states. “No matter what, on 4/20, you can always count on me to deliver something to the fans.”
‘The Sour Diesel Eagle’ is a testament to OG Dayv’s enduring relationship with marijuana and its influence on his artistic expression. “Weed and rap go together like bacon and eggs,” he remarks. “It has helped me become a better engineer, producer, and artist overall.”
In addition to the album release, OG Dayv also dropped a captivating music video for “Medicine,” a standout track from ‘The Sour Diesel Eagle.’ The visually stunning video serves as a visual companion to the track, offering viewers a glimpse into OG Dayv’s world and his relationship with marijuana.
Furthermore, OG Dayv released a documentary that delves into the creative process behind ‘The Sour Diesel Eagle,’ offering fans an intimate look at the making of the album and the inspirations behind each track.
While ‘The Sour Diesel Eagle’ maintains a laid-back and fun vibe, OG Dayv does not shy away from addressing serious issues, including the disproportionate impact of drug laws on minorities. “The point still remains that the laws around these drugs need to be changed quickly,” he asserts.
Looking ahead, OG Dayv hints at exciting collaborations on his upcoming album, expressing his enthusiasm for the collaborative process and its role in enhancing his creative vision.
