# Video: Substance Abuse – Paper Tigers (feat. Myka Nyne & Percee P)

L.A. based rappers **Eso Tre** and **Subz** are the duo **Substance Abuse**, presenting the music video for their single *Paper Tigers*. The track features a guest appearance by **Myka Nyne** of **Freestyle Fellowship** and **Percee P**.

*Paper Tigers* is from their new album *Background Music* featuring **KRS-One**, **Sadat X**, **MC Eiht** and **Tash** of **Tha Liks**.

> The idea for *Paper Tigers* came from a botched show we did in L.A.”. “We were supposed to open up for my friend’s group but **Subz** was out of town so I brought **Myka** and my homie **Deranged** to rock with me. I was pretty sauced up and it ended up just being Myka and Deranged rapping. **Percee P** was in the crowd, and being a fan since I heard him on *Return of the Funky Man*, I invited to get onstage. Seeing two of our favorite emcees at the same place at the same time is where the idea came from. Needless to say, I never got liquored up before a show again.

– Eso Tre

Track produced by **Hanif Hobbs** & Video directed by **RCKLSS ABNDN**.
