Pusha-T has fittingly released new music in support of Cocaine Bear.
In tandem with the wild film’s opening, King Push gifted fans with a remix of “White Lines (Don’t Do It),” Melle Mel’s 1983 record that was featured in the Cocaine Bear trailer.
“The dope boys go crazy, they know I get it out the jungle/I ain’t never been a runner, we ain’t never had to wonder,” he raps in the first verse. “You heard the pilot lost the load, call that dumb and dumber/It’s no storm without thunder, the bear crawls up and under/Cocaine overload, the only fuel to his hunger.”
The MC shared the remix with an abbreviated lyric video that includes highlights from the Cocaine Bear trailer. You can check out the track, produced by SethInTheKitchen, via YouTube above or stream it here with Spotify:
Directed by Elizabeth Banks, Cocaine Bear is an action-comedy loosely based on real-life events. In 1985, an ex-narcotics officer-turned drug dealer smuggled a sizable amount of cocaine from Colombia in the United States. According to USA Today fact-checkers, the man jumped out of the plane in an apparent effort to evade authorities. Investigators said several containers of the drug landed in a forest in northern Georgia, where it was discovered by a black bear. Though the animal reportedly consumed the drug, it did not turn into the killing machine depicted in Cocaine Bear. It was instead found dead surrounded by 40 opened cocaine containers, which indicated it had perished from an overdose.
Cocaine Bear features O’Shea Jackson Jr., Keri Russell, Alden Ehrenreich, Christian Convery, and the late Ray Liotta. It’s in theaters now.
