Lab Rat’s New Single ‘Drunk’ Is the Ultimate Anthem for Beautiful Chaos
Ever turned a messy breakup into a masterpiece? Lab Rat has—and his latest single “Drunk”, out now via Mushroom Pillow, proves it. Born from the ashes of a toxic relationship, the track blends raw emotion with electrifying grunge-punk energy, making it a must-listen for anyone who’s ever felt like life was spiraling out of control.
“I wrote the bassline six years ago when I was in a bad relationship,” Lab Rat—aka Dylan James—says. “We’d have huge fights, break up, and then call each other drunk at 3 a.m. to ‘work things out.’” “Drunk” takes that intensity and spins it into a gritty anthem for anyone who’s felt trapped in a cycle of passion and pain. The thundering rhythm section and haunting guitars capture the feeling of those 3 a.m. moments perfectly.
But this track isn’t just about chaos—it’s about transformation. Lab Rat’s story is one of resilience: after reclaiming his life from addiction and tragedy, Dylan found solace in music, eventually signing with the European label Mushroom Pillow to bring his sound to the world stage. His debut single “Exit Path” turned heads, and “Drunk” is ready to hit even harder.
Whether you’re reliving a whirlwind romance or just need something loud to scream along to, “Drunk” is your new go-to. Listen now and let Lab Rat take you on a wild ride:
When the “Iron City” links up with Los Angeles no weak emcees are safe! Dropping today is Iron Angeles, the eleven track LP that combines Reagan Era Records lynchpin Dios Negasi on rhymes with production from Pittsburgh’s Tone Fultz. First single “What It Is” (also featuring a verse from Reagan Era’s Skrillz Dior) is hard-as-nails, head-nodding boom-bap greatness. As the producer states “though the Steel City is a cloudy and dark place and Los Angeles is known for its sunny weather, the two have a long history of creating legendary music together including Mel-Man and Sam Sneed’s work with Dr. Dre and Bud’Da’s producing ‘Bow Down’ for Westside Connection.” This extends to the album voice-over which makes the project feel like a long-lost blaxploitation action flick of the grimiest proportions.

While Dios Negasi is known for producing his own tracks (including the recent single “Domingre Gang” featuring Young Zee) and Tone Fultz also rocks the mic in his alter-ego Messiah Of Madness, both artists stick to one role here. As Tone relates, “Dios and I have been like brothers over the past few years. I come to Los Angeles regularly to dig records, and he mentioned he was slowing down on production to focus more on rhyming. Meanwhile I was in a producer zone so I started cooking up beats specifically for this project. I came to visit when a bunch of tracks and as we cooked up in the studio, members of Reagan Era came through and it was a totally organic process.”
