Grammy-Nominated Songwriter and Award-Winning Antiguan Artist Drastic, known for his versatility and consistency year after year, has recently announced the release of his highly anticipated new mixtape release. Aptly titled “15 Grams: The Mixtape” in honor of Antigua and Barbuda’s decriminalization of 15 grams of cannabis back in early 2018, the 15-track mixtape is endorsed by Antigua’s Prime Minister Hon. Gaston Browne.
The mixtape was officially released on January 10, highlighted by a packed mixtape release party that evening at Destination Area51.
Featuring a number of “ganja remixes” to popular songs in hip-hop and afro beats, the project also showcases an original and fun collaboration with Antiguan reggae artist Ras Juba entitled “They Wanna Know”, setting the bar higher in terms of production, delivery and performances alike.
Providing a plethora of new Antiguan stoner anthems, the mixtape is as personal as it is entertaining. “Fallen” is a sort of letter to a fellow artist and friend of Drastic who died over the holidays after being shot.
“The same day we were having the mixtape release party, I got news that they had caught Icee’s shooter. That brought everything full circle for me and made the mixtape release even more memorable”, said Drastic when talking about “Fallen”.
This mixtape release is only part one of two in the overall 15 Grams double album project. Part two will be an original album “15 Grams: The Album”, to be released on April 20, 2020. Drastic’s 15 Grams projects are a combination of passion, focus and vision, and syndicates instinctive artistry with true technical expertise, bridging the gaps between the best of many worlds.
The mixtape marks the beginning of a creative new year for Drastic, who exceeded expectations with this ambitious project. Fans can expect fresh new music and a variety of collaborations across different genres.
