Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
Dallas rapper Tum Tum, a.k.a. Tumzilla, doesn't come off as a particularly romantic dude, but judging by this recent track, "Kush," it seems the big guy is head-over-heels in love. That his love interest is O.G. Kush, a potent and deliciously fragrant (or so I've read) strain of medical-grade marijuana, doesn't make the song any less heartfelt.
If you substitute the titular weed with a girl, it could be any tumultuous boy-meets-girl story: he falls in love, gets her portrait tatted on his back, tries to quit her but ultimately comes crawling back. But even after the reconciliation, of course, she still manages to get him in trouble: "I love the way you taste, I love the way you smell / Remember you the reason I'm sitting up in jail."
The track also features Lil Ronnie, Big Hood Boss and Giovanni. Best of all, it's a helluva lot cheaper than $60 to $80 (!) an eighth; Tum Tum is offering it for free here.
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
