What’s in Big M’s “Percocet”?
The phone recording didn’t do it justice, but here’s the vibe I was chasing. I went digging through the internet for F1 racing FX — engine startups, car drifts, tyre skids — because I wanted the intro to feel like a high-speed police chase, that pure adrenaline rush before the beat drops.
Big M’s verses gave me plenty of direction. He referenced cars, speed, momentum — that energy helped shape the entire atmosphere. The drums are intentionally light, almost hollow, creating pockets for the vocals, bass, and FX to breathe as one cohesive experience.
It feels like the theme song to an epic movie, but sonically, it’s a blend of Afrobeats, Club Jersey, Techno, Drum-n-Bass, an opera vocal sample, and even an interpolation of N**s in Paris by Kanye West & Jay-Z. A wild fusion — but somehow it works.
“Percocet” is one of those tracks I genuinely enjoyed crafting. It’s not your typical record — you’ll need to let your imagination run a bit. If you do, the world we built opens up immediately.
Happy to announce the release of the new single by @itsthebigm ‘Street Life’ produced by alter ego @auralcraft . A song simple, yet deeply introspective and powerful in reflection — honest, self-aware, and perfectly aligned with its emotional backbone. “Street Life” peels back the layers of survival, choice, and consequence, confronting the harsh truths of the world that shaped us.
It’s not a glorification of the struggle — it’s a mirror held up to it. A tribute to the hoods that raised us, the friends we lost, and the lessons learned too late.
“Street Life” is not aesthetic — it’s reality.
