Substance Abuse just re-lit a West Coast favorite with the “Flossin” (DJ Obi Remix) featuring MC Eiht. Pulled from their 2013 album Background Music, the new flip adds fresh swing and grit to an already classic street-ready cut.
Los Angeles Hip-Hop duo Substance Abuse, Subz and Eso Tre, is back in motion with a refreshed version of their track “Flossin” featuring MC Eiht.
The DJ Obi Remix leans into a more “golden era” feel while keeping that signature West Coast knock, turning the record into something that feels equally at home in a DJ set, a late-night cruise, or a speaker test in the driveway.
For anyone catching up: “Flossin (feat. MC Eiht)” originally appears on Substance Abuse’s 2013 album Background Music.
That album is notable for how Substance Abuse bridges lanes, raw L.A. rap energy, underground credibility, and a feature list that speaks to real heads. And “Flossin” remains one of the records that captures that mission clearly: bars first, authenticity always.
Substance Abuse is a Los Angeles-based duo made up of Subz and Eso Tre, active since the late ‘90s and known for pairing sharp lyricism with rugged, independent West Coast energy.
SpitFireHipHop note: We’ve actually talked with Eso Tre and Subz before, worth revisiting if you want more context on their mindset, influences, and how they move as a duo.
MC Eiht is a Compton rap staple, an artist whose name is woven into West Coast history through Compton’s Most Wanted and a long solo run built on cinematic street narratives.
The best remixes don’t overwrite the original—they reframe it. That’s what this version does: it keeps the grime and the flex intact, but adds a new texture that makes the record feel freshly playable in 2025 sets and playlists. If you’re a fan of true West Coast rap and real underground craft, this is one of those releases that reminds you why certain voices don’t age out—they just get sharper with time.
