In an era where rap often skims the surface, Boooka dives headfirst into one of the Black community’s deepest wounds – the silent war with misdiagnosis and the pills meant to “fix” it. His latest visual, “Medswasposed2help?”, isn’t just another rap video; it’s a full-blown statement piece that challenges how we view mental health, medicine, and who’s really pulling the strings.
The visual opens like a psychological thriller. Boooka is seen chasing down a psychiatrist the same one who keeps feeding him prescriptions like candy – symbolizing the loop so many young Black men get trapped in. Surrounded by orange prescription bottles and flashing lights, every shot feels like a metaphor for being medicated instead of understood.
He raps, “Crazy ain’t a look you just put on,” a line that hits like a mirror check for anyone who’s ever been labeled instead of listened to. Boooka reveals how doctors upped his dosage so high that it started to affect his normal body functions something far too real for young adults misdiagnosed with disorders they barely understand.
What makes Boooka’s storytelling so genius isn’t just his vulnerability; it’s his ability to turn trauma into teaching. He flips the conversation, pointing the finger not at those living with mental illness, but at Big Pharma – the machine that profits from it. It’s a hard truth: maybe our biggest enemy isn’t what’s inside our minds, but who’s cashing in on it.
By the time he closes with the haunting line, “I thought the meds was supposed to help,” the message lands heavy. Boooka isn’t just venting – he’s educating, warning, and freeing those who’ve been caught in the same cycle.
This record cements him as one of the few modern artists using hip hop not just for sound, but for soul surgery. “Medswasposed2help?” is more than a song – it’s a public service announcement wrapped in rhythm.
