Austin, Texas native Boooka has always been an artist who holds nothing back, carving out a space in the hip-hop scene for unvarnished truth. His previous works, including the recent album ‘IRL’, have consistently dived into the complexities of human experience, offering raw and relatable narratives. Now, he's preparing that next phase in his career, teasing the official video for his deeply personal single, ‘MEDSWASPOSED2HELP’
The track’s title alone hints at the heavy subject matter, focusing on the frustrating gulf that can exist between seeking mental health support and actually finding solace. It’s an unflinching look at the confusion when professional advice, therapy, or medication don't immediately resolve internal struggles. Boooka doesn't just rap about what others whisper; he lays bare the anxieties most people keep locked away.
Early buzz around the visuals suggests a soaring emotional weight, a vibe that forces listeners to stop and truly engage. This isn’t a fleeting banger; it's a song designed for introspection. Boooka gets to the heart of the matter with a line that's already resonating: “They said it was depression, then said it was ADHD. Sometimes we just don’t go, so we just don’t know.”
Speaking with us earlier this year, Boooka shared a key insight into his philosophy and the single, “‘MEDSWASPOSED2HELP’ perfectly embodies who I am as an artist and the type of messages I often deliver in my music. My theme is really just visiting unpopular untold truths in the sense of like, 'Hey, I've been in this position before and you can't use it to shame me. Instead, let me make it sound cool or relatable...or less lame.'" This desire to make vulnerability 'less lame' is precisely what makes his work so vital.
The official video is set for release on YouTube on the 27th of October this year, with previews suggesting a captivating and cinematic accompaniment to the track. Boooka is once again proving that authenticity reigns supreme, positioning ‘MEDSWASPOSED2HELP’ as an essential new release.
