’10 Milligrams’ sees Eli Ladon delivering an introspective and vulnerable set of bars on pulling himself out of the depths of his own darkness. The lyrics are revealing, a narrative based story about his struggles and the hardships he finds himself constantly embroiled in. ’10 Milligrams’ becomes a metaphor and a literal representation of the crutches people use to deal with their own circumstances. Drugs, alcohol, and whatever vice that helps us turn around and numb the pain that comes from reality serve as temporary outlets for our own pain.
It’s a revealing and powerful piece of lyrical driven hip-hop that’s bound to be ever so relatable to anyone who’s undergone hardship and found solace in substances that are probably best refused.
