Lil Poppa & DeJ Loaf: It's turn up vibes going strong in the 'Feel The Same When You're Sober' music video

Not ready to bid farewell to the summer vibes? Lean on rap artist Lil Poppa and DeJ Loaf to set the tones right-right courtesy of their new ‘Feel The Same When You’re Sober’ music video.

The song goes hard but how about embracing the party setting with the crew? Big flexing.

On the heels of his recently released album, Jacksonville rapper and CMG signee Lil Poppa has released the official music video for focus track “Feel The Same When You’re Sober” featuring Dej Loaf. A vibrant music video featuring the two rappers made its broadcast premiere on BET Jams and BET Hip Hop. “Feel The Same When You’re Sober” is off Lil Poppa’s recently released album Wee Are Who We Are (CMG/Interscope Records). Watch the music video above!

With a knack for enthralling, soulful and lucid storytelling, Lil Poppa has earned a reputation as one of rap’s most affecting young voices and on this new project he works through his emotions from a place of acceptance and moving forward. Featuring legendary southern voices like Boosie Badazz, Webbie and Dej Loaf alongside burgeoning acts like YG Teck, Lehla Samia and Blac Youngsta, the album is a lyrical masterpiece exploring struggle and hope.

The album comes after Poppa’s dealing with depression where rekindling his relationship with God got him through and in the booth. He came to terms with where he is in life and started penning songs across a variety of sounds, to show the industry that he can hold his own with the best. Often an orator for life on the streets, it was important to him to feature fellow Jacksonville artists to the booth for this new project, too. Spinabenz, another immensely popular rapper from the same neighborhood, is someone who Poppa thinks deserves the spotlight as well because of his talent — so he’s on the LP providing that hometown connection. 

One of the most emotional songs on the project is “Letter To Jook,” a track to a close friend and mentor who motivated him never to quit. He called Poppa frequently to check on him and inspire him to keep rapping. His presence inspires the whole project, but is specifically called out on the track. 

That’s not to say that the entire album is centered around sentimentality. There’s a full spectrum of songs here, with some featuring more of a club bounce, and others that you usually don’t hear Popparap in. He’s excited about this new effort and the evolution of his artistry that’ll be on display to his growing fanbase that already consists of millions of fans.
