Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum selling, singer, songwriter, TV personality and entrepreneur, Kandi Burruss-Tucker’s influence can be felt everywhere. Not only is she behind countless hit records and a star on the TV smash “The Real Housewives of Atlanta;” Kandi is also thriving in business with her own companies, Bedroom Kandi – an adult line, TAGS Boutique – luxury women’s apparel, Raising Ace – a baby line inspired by her son Ace, Old Lady Gang – a southern eatery, and other ventures.”
The production currently stars Tony Award nominee Charlotte d’Amboiseas Roxie Hart, Olivier Award Winner & Original Cast Member Leigh Zimmerman as Velma Kelly, Raymond Bokhour as Amos Hart and R. Lowe as Mary Sunshine.
With a legendary book by Fred Ebband Bob Fosse, music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, Chicago is now the #1 longest-running American musical in Broadway history.
Produced by Barry and Fran Weissler, Chicago is the winner of six 1997 TONY AWARDS including Best Musical Revival and the Grammy Award for Best Musical Cast Recording.
Directed by Tony Award winner Walter Bobbie and choreographed by Tony Award winner Ann Reinking, Chicago features set design by John Lee Beatty, costume design by Tony Award winner William Ivey Long, lighting design by Tony Award winner Ken Billington, sound design by Scott Lehrer and casting by Stewart/Whitley.
Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, Chicago is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago’s slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today’s tabloids.

“Drugs From The Sky” by SwizZy B & Noopey Na’mon: A Hauntingly Powerful Anthem
“Drugs From The Sky,” the latest single from SwizZy B & Noopey Na’mon of LoUd Life Crew, is a masterclass in emotional depth and atmospheric production. This under-three-minute track is more than just a song – it’s an immersive experience that demands to be felt.
The Hook: A Hypnotic and Melancholic Earworm
The chorus is a work of art, with the repetition of “drugs from the sky” becoming a metaphor for escapism and the search for relief. The hook is both catchy and meaningful, sticking with you long after the song is over.
The Verses: A Study in Contrasts
SwizZy B’s verse sets the tone with his soft-spoken yet heavy delivery. His lyrics are a poignant exploration of emotional numbness and the need for escape. Noopey Na’mon’s verse, on the other hand, is a raw and intense counterpoint, tackling themes of betrayal, self-destruction, and the search for truth.
The Dynamic Between Them: A Powerful Chemistry
The contrast between SwizZy B’s vulnerability and Noopey Na’mon’s intensity creates a compelling narrative. Their chemistry is organic and effortless, telling two sides of the same mental battle.
The Beat: Atmospheric and Cinematic
The production is top-notch, with a dreamlike quality that perfectly complements the emotional weight of the lyrics. The instrumental is cinematic without being overdone, giving space for the lyrics to breathe.
A Story of Struggle and Resilience
“Drugs From The Sky” is more than just a vibe – it’s a story of mental battles, emotional exhaustion, and the search for relief. It’s a powerful and relatable anthem that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt overwhelmed or lost.
A Classic in the Making
With its intimate atmosphere and emotional honesty, “Drugs From The Sky” feels like an underground classic in the making. LoUd Life Crew continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in music, and SwizZy B & Noopey Na’mon are at the forefront of this movement.
