About This Track
ProbCause and Chance the Rapper build this track around a remix of an original by Beijing-based electronic group Pet Conspiracy, with producer Drew Mantia crafting the instrumental foundation. The song unfolds as a meditation on altered perception, its hook cycling through hallucinatory imagery: purple skies, plastic grass, distorted sensory experience. ProbCause's verses move between euphoria and unease, finding clarity in a chemically-induced state whilst acknowledging the fragility of the moment. He name-checks the Beatles and Jefferson Airplane, anchoring the track in a lineage of psychedelic reference, before Chance arrives in the second verse with characteristic verbal scramble, his delivery fractured and restless against the hypnotic beat. The production sits in a liminal space between hip-hop and electronic music, the beat minimal and spacious enough to accommodate both rappers' contrasting approaches. Interspersed throughout are fragments of what sounds like a clinical voiceover describing drug administration, lending the whole thing an unsettling documentary quality. It's a song that treats its subject matter with genuine ambivalence: the rush is real, the beauty is real, but so is the paranoia threaded through the hook's repeated question of whether everyone is watching.
