Sacramento’s DB.Boutabag and Vallejo’s DaBoii Connect For “Drink Bleach,” from DB’s New Album The Real Boutabag II
The Two Northern California Slick-Talkers Trade Punchlines in the Latest Video From DB’s Deeply PErsonal New Album
Critical Praise:
“DB.Boutabag is a Sacramento, California rapper who makes hip-hop that’ll cave in floors at West Coast house parties.” – Pitchfork
“DB.Boutabag takes hating to new levels” – The FADER
“South Sacramento rapper DB.Boutabag makes rap music meant to hit you in the chest” – Passion Of The Weiss
The Video:
Blitzing his opposition with slick punchlines and a relentless work ethic, DB.Boutabag is one of the most beloved smack talkers in Northern Cali. DB joins up with a fellow NorCal hustler for “Drink Bleach,” his new music video, featuring ex-SOB x RBE heavy-hitter DaBoii. Skating atop spritely piano chords and knocking West Coast percussion, the two emcees swap out-of-pocket punchlines to embarrass any broke boys in the vicinity: “The same three you spent on rent, I spent that 3 on my beat,” says DB, while DaBoii says, “Thought he was invincible, who he think he King Kong?” In the video, the two rappers talk business in a luxurious boardroom before hitting the streets in an all-black SUV.
“Drink Bleach” is a highlight from DB’s new album, The Real Boutabag II, a focused and motivated effort that reflects his new perspective as a first-time father. Giving his fans a deep look into his life as a working rapper, DB peppers his punchline-filled bars with hints at how much fatherhood changed him. As he says on recent single “A Dad Talk“: “Get inside my feelings, watch me sh*t talk my ass off/On these beats, I be in that mode with my mask off.”
A sequel to his popular 2022 EP The Real Boutabag, which featured fan-favorite singles like “Out The Way,” the second volume doesn’t let the heavier subject matter stop DB from bringing the bass-boosted West Coast energy for which he is known. The rapper’s one-liners are in rare form, whether he is sneering at lazy hangers-on on the DaBoii collaboration “Drink Bleach” or getting a raucous party started on songs like the recent single “Both Ways.” Throughout, DB remains focused, ignoring neighborhood distractions and the trappings of fame to keep his eye on the biggest prize of all: financial security for his family. Also home to the recent singles “Slight Vent Pt. 3” and “Not At Home” ft. Big Sad 1900, The Real Boutabag II is available on all platforms.
Since emerging from the South Sacramento street scene in 2020, DB.Boutabag has established himself as one of the most prolific slick talkers on either coast. With a style inspired by the greats from L.A. and The Bay, including the late Mac Dre, DB has generated tens of millions of streams across platforms, thanks to West Coast anthems like “1st Off,” “Don’t Choke,” “Cocky,” and “Fettucine.” The rapper has earned praise from the likes of Pitchfork, The FADER, and Passion of the Weiss, and has collaborated with everybody from 03 Greedo to Skilla Baby to Kamaiyah to the legendary Drakeo The Ruler on their street hit “Top Rapper.”
With The Real Boutabag II out now, DB is ready to prove he’s the man on the West Coast. Stay tuned for more.
