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.
