All My Friends Are Stoned
In WiztheMc’s latest hit “All My Friends Are Stoned,” there’s an air of nostalgia that illuminates each chord. The joyful beat mimics the exhale and laughter that’s nuanced to a group of pot-smoking teenagers. Each strum of the guitar feels like sunshine, but there’s the threat of rain in every word.
A hint of fear surrounds the concept of missed time. It lingers over every word and is mixed with a carelessness that only comes with youthful abandon. The tempo picks up around the second verse to impress upon listeners just how quickly time is passing. The track acts almost as a time capsule, an ode to previous versions of self that were wrestling with the bigger picture while hanging onto the golden year’s coattails. With no clear answer to the questions posed insight, it seems as if the best solution is to embrace the timeless anthem and light up.
The track is one of seven from Wiz’s EP titled “What About Now,” a project that solidifies WiztheMc’s ability to float between genres effortlessly.
