Pill – “Blow Up” (Feat. Iyaz)
Download – “Blow Up.”
Pill made the first single off of The Medicine commercial friendly by grabbing a beat from JR Rotem and a hook from Iyaz. The Pink City emcee’s debut album doesn’t have a set release date, but “Blow Up” has Pill envisioning a better life coming from the project’s success:
“Sittin off in the kitchen, listening to some beats,
Sick of sellin this dope, and mopin off in the streets,
Hoping that I could speak to a crowd on a large scale,
Instead of puttin yams and loud on a large scale.”
Below Pill breaks down the difference between a freestyle and a 16. As simple as it sounds, a lot of emcees need to listen to this and stop passing off their 16’s as freestyles.

Pill’s music is refreshing, as he paints a portrait of the streets in a very natural and real way, effectively shaming all the artists who pretend to be from his part of town. The XXL Magazine Freshman turned heads with his debut video for "Trap Goin' Ham," directed by Motion Family, as it graphically portrayed the poverty taking place in Pink City, five minutes away from a police precinct and seven minutes away from the state capital.
So far all of Pill's releases have been named after the various locations in which he grew up. 4180: The Prescription refers back to the Kimberly Court Projects on 4180 Cant Street and 4075: The Refill refers to the address of Pill’s aunt’s house. His next release, hosted by DJ Drama, should be a major turning point in his career as he's sure to be exposed to a wide fan base. Gangsta Grillz 1140: The Overdose is set to drop on June 1st.
