That legendary B Real and Bizarre just dropped the hottest collab ever, and the internet is buzzing about it. The Cypress Hill frontman gave a sneak peek on social media, with him delivering the classic fast lacing over the hard-hitting production. Going by the words, it may be about power dynamics and street politic, with B Real rhyming about, “Leaders defeated and desperate leader came home / Feeling like they cheated by some greeded with guns.”

Fans quickly began to praise West Coast-Cali hip-hop legend in the comment section. One long-time fan made a comment saying, “I just Love your voice B I could listen to you all day much love from Oklahoma,” which indeed sums up the feelings of most who grew up listening to the peculiar voice of B Real. Another linked it to golden-era rap, saying, “B real I was huge 2pac fan back in the day my,” recognizing how he’s carried on the spirit of 90’s hip-hop.
The ferocity of the performance garnered plenty of attention, with listeners complementing B Real’s performance with flame emojis. “SPITTING THE SAME FIRE B REAL” was perhaps the most prominent response accompanied by random flame emojis thrown in by a few others. One international bot set the Castillo afire as he requested merchandise in Spanish: “I need that hat @brealtv.”
Meanwhile, some unorthodox ones grabbed attention; one young artist slyly promoted his page, and another went on a tiring prayer of divine protection and career blessing. The varied responses reveal how far-reaching B Real’s music is-from hardcore hip-hop kids to spiritual seekers.
Another thing making this release special is the consistent relevancy of B Real even decades into his career. Many artists from the past era have slipped into nostalgia acts; yet, B Real keeps rolling creatively through collaborations such as this one with Bizarre. Unapologetic lyrics paired with boom-bap-influenced production remind us of what the hell B Real stands for.
Judging from the “Screws Loose” snippet, it appears that B Real wastes the least time in spotting and detailing street matters and bearing them with his trademark cadence. If all goes well, the full track will double down on it and be ranked as one of the most important cuts in his saturated discography. This collab gives exactly what the title promises-for lovers of pure, unadulterated hip-hop-a bit of that loose and crazy unpredictability that birthed the name B Real.

But, judging from the comments, this is what the listeners want-an overhaul of original hip hop, which bases its popularity on lyrics and attitude. Hip-hop might evolve overnight, but like B Real, certain things never go out of style-Well put-together flows, sharp wordplay, and that unmistakable West Coast attitude. From an O.G. to a newbie, Screws Loose is an unblemished B Real joint that is the perfect pick, indeed.
