“Marijuaneros” by Toronto hip-hop artist D.O.V of Hella Treez is a gritty ode to the highs and lows of navigating urban life through the lens of a cannabis connoisseur. The track, featuring a guest appearance by fellow Hella Treez member Gambit Ramsay, is produced, mixed, and mastered by Cortez of 4Sounds Media, delivering a polished yet raw sonic landscape. With a hypnotic beat and a hook that sticks with you, the song draws listeners into the fast-paced, unpredictable world of cannabis enthusiasts and city streets. D.O.V and Gambit Ramsay trade verses, painting vivid pictures of late-night smoke sessions, street hustles, and the pressure of making it in a city that never sleeps. Their flows are sharp and unflinching, offering a reflection on ambition, survival, and the thrill of the grind—all tied to the ritual of lighting up. The video, shot by Fuego Films, perfectly complements the song’s raw vibe. Filmed on location in Mimico, the visuals capture a gritty, authentic slice of Toronto’s west end. The blend of urban landscapes and smoky scenes by the waterfront creates a moody backdrop, enhancing the track’s laid-back, rebellious energy. The track shifts gears in the final verse, with D.O.V diving into a more direct and aggressive space. Over Cortez’s darker, more atmospheric production, he unpacks the emotional toll of chasing success and finding solace in weed all while calling out those that dare throw dirt on his name. The result is a song that seamlessly blends hard-hitting lyricism with reflective storytelling, making “Marijuaneros” a compelling anthem for cannabis culture.
