Filipino rap duo Tu$ Brother$ and rapper Gat Putch join forces in “Sativa,” a type of cannabis. The music video, which is directed by JRAM and Miggy Ramirez, features the trio in close quarters with drinking and smoking up.
Drug use in the Philippines is both illegal and a highly controversial topic, with the previous administration still under fire for its deadly war on drugs. This is briefly referenced in a bar, where Tu$ Brother$ rap: “Hindi niyo ba ma-realize / Kahit ‘di yan pwede sa’min / Legalize.” (Don’t you realize / Even if it’s not allowed here / Legalize.)
