Songs to get High To on 420

This Weed songs list is not your same old same old list. Our staff argued for hours trying to bring a list that doesn’t include Cypress Hill and Snoop Dogg, even though they are legends but it would of been cliche’.

Chester Watson — Purple Leaves

Madvillain — America’s Most Blunted

Freddie Gibbs — Personal OG

The best-kept secret in underground hip-hop is Chester Watson. The Miami, Florida-born rapper incorporates cannabis-related topics into his melancholy, sometimes darker-themed songs, which are then wrapped up in loose, Japanese-inspired rhythms. Purple Leaves, which starts with “marijuana legalization” and ends with “I got a zoot, and now I’m sailing on the highest boat,” is a brilliant example of Watson’s love of marijuana and his enthusiasm for pot legalization. Stunning images. Fantastic vibes. Wonderful music to start a smoking session.

It is practically unnecessary to introduce Madvillain. The 2004 release of Madvillainy, a joint hip hop effort by the late MF DOOM and Madlib, is widely regarded as one of the best rap albums ever. One of this album’s highlights is America’s Most Blunted. It honors and promotes marijuana’s use as a creative spark, which was undoubtedly a factor in the birth of Madvillainy. Not surprising at all. The finest music is made with marijuana. We advise you to listen to America’s Most Blunted from beginning to end once you’ve liked it repeatedly. You won’t be sorry. Make sure to invite your friends over for a smoke session as well. That will make enjoying the record more memorable.

The underrated weed-inspired song Personal OG by Freddie Gibbs features a racy 2000s sound that perfectly complements his spitfire verse. The song’s lyrics are a homage to marijuana, with frequent allusions to Purple Kush and OG, two of the greatest cannabis strains ever. Be sure to start your playlist of cannabis songs with this. It will undoubtedly help you relax and focus.
