OT The Real - Addiction [Official Video] 

In the midst of my addiction. This song brings tears to my eyes. Real af. I take the Megabus from NYC to Kensington once a week. The demons are real. Love you OT

This is everything. I never thought I would end up homeless in a place like Kensington. I pray for everyone still out there 🙏🏻❤️

Love the message OT . It's a jungle out here. The struggle with addiction has claimed too many amazing people. To someone struggling, know that you are loved. There is help, you just have to want it. God bless everyone caught up in the madness of addiction. God bless the babies born into it as well.

I hate recovery music but this is lit!!!!

I just heard this for the first time and I'm in tears. I've been struggling with this shit for so long I forgot what it's like to feel. I've lost everything, family, wife, friends, the will to live. But this gave me perspective and helped me realize I don't want this no more and it's time to take back everything you stole from me. Thank you OT for keeping it 💯. It's time. Philly stand up. Everyone struggling in Kensington, I feel your pain, I'm right there with you, take back what's yours. Not just the people with drug addiction either cuz I'll tell you from the jump, money, power, all that shit just as addictive so to all the hustlers out there I've been there too, keep ya head up and fight to get out them streets, Salute

I was at camp hill with this man. At that time i thot he was just another prison bullshitter. It goes to show to never judge a book by its cover. He is one of the best rappers ive ever listened too. He has a few joints that throw real life right in my face n send chills down my spine. The message he's sendin thru this joint is awsome. I battle everyday to keep my demons at bay. Every fuckin second of the day. I lost my baby sis in march to this shit. Hes a real one and i hope this man makes it big soon. He deserves too. Keep this message movin and keep bringin that fire.

To all those out there that still suffer... One day at a time. This Jawn is crazy! Salute!

God Bless OT🙏🙏🛐🙏. People don't understand, how fast it goes from "fun", to LIFETIME ADDICTION. You're a true example of change, and success. Thank you for this track. Thank you for hope.

Hottest out of philly right now

Lost so many my two bros friends im lucky im out that still able to live here and just smoke 🌳

Whoever the three people are who gave this a thumbs down is either a hater or don't know good music and must listen to the new Mumble rap generation, this songs 🔥

Everyone battling addiction, keep fighting the hardest of fights! Addiction is the hardest battle any human will face. Takes your soul and literally makes you inhuman and I salute anyone that reclaims their soul and gets completely clean. Not many people get clean and stay that way without a relapse so never give up the fight even if you lose a battle continue to fight the war! As a recovered addict myself, I salute anyone beating their addiction and wish them all the best and to any addicts that are losing the battle you have my sincere sympathy and I wish you all the best in getting your lives back on track! I only got clean because of my family and the fact I have kids gave me the incentive to get clean. I’m not sure I would of done it if it wasn’t for my family so I can’t imagine how Incredibly hard it would be to battle addiction alone or on the streets or both. Anyone who can get through that has my upmost respect and if you can get through that then I’m certain you can achieve anything you want In life! Instead of spending billions on the war on drugs they will never win and the jails holding the drug addicts. They should be building large scale rehabilitation centres and getting people completely clean which in turn will probably turn most of them away from crime and into a legitimate way of living! Sorry if it sounds like I’m preaching, it’s not my intention. Just wish all my fellow addicts, recovered or not all the best for the future

Wow...this has changed my perspective on the issue of addiction. I can’t believe this is our reality in philly. Can we bring the city back to the city that stood for brotherly love. We’re there’s love for your family and neighbor.

I respect 🙏 this track ty for giving us hope. I'm also a addict.

Thank God Im not down there anymore.. #ISurvivedKensington

I tell you from experience that this is the most realest thing I’ve seen and heard it took me to od to realize this ain’t for me I went to treatment once it’s the same ol bullshit but when u gone and they bring u back ya life change either for better or worse it’s on you💯♨️soup kitchen keep doing what you doing and spread the message bro you gon be up there I consider you a great already because that fetenyal was dope but this is colossal 💯💯💯♨️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

💯🔥

This definitely hit me hard. I'm one of the lucky ones that managed to get the fuck out of North Philly and go to rehab down in Florida. I now have two years clean. This video gives me chills and makes my heart race. This is the same place I was, doing the same thing. It kills me inside.

🖤to the family and friends I've lost to this epidemic..shit hits.to my friends that fight everyday..keep fighting..🍀508🍀570🍀

This fucking song is my life. ❤❤❤ I had two years clean from Iv heroin and meth, relapsed last April. Been using since. Today marks 6 days since this song came over my playlist never hearing it before or heard of this artist. I quit after hearing this song and relating to it on so many levels. 6 days clean! Thank you, this song just saved my life.

Got 10 years now. Music is a big reason. This is fire. Salute. To this man

Never thought Id have a dope habit in 2022

the realist shit ever I swear!!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

We Da Black Delegates. HERE BY, TRADE EM, WHATEVER HIS NAME IS. FOR OT THE REAL!!!

That 2:12 point super real

This hits different when somebody close to you comes to mind when u hear this 🙏🏼

I've heard a few songs about addiction but OT just paints the picture so vividly and accurately. Homie is Picasso with words. He has a gift, it's dope(no pun intended) that he found it and is sharing that gift.

Powerful song brother and very necessary, I hope you make more songs like this.

One second at a time,that fire,that desire,comes fierce,only the strong will withhold and never Fold.

Songs powerful . Keep spreadin addiction awareness

🔥

Mac eats brought me here. good job. God bless

so important! love this ❤️

#Heavy 💯💯💯

So real♨️♨️♨️

This jawn Deep 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I live in Spain at the moment, but never forget where I came from. This still breaks my heart and hits so hard, 3500 miles away. I'm not there physically to make much of a difference but I'm gonna use this video for class discussions with the teenagers here.

we feelin you out in the 413

OT... All respect to your best... Your the realest by far... Love You Bro😎😍😘 From one of the lowest out der... Sone DaBone who forever Stands Alone... Bsafe to all still there... Love TONI...AKA...SONE...2021

Damn this video was a reality check. I saw this artist on a China-Mac song. I liked his sound so I been listening and watching some videos. I live in a nice quiet part of Portland, OR. I've never been to the east let alone anything past Vegas. I've never tried any drugs other than weed. And when I say tried (weed). I mean maybe eight times in my life. I'm thirty years old now studying to become a high school geography teacher. Videos and messages like this help and remind me why I never will. I hope with all my heart the people and the community of where this video is taking place at find solace, peace and recovery. I'm glad I decided to check out this artist. I've become WOKE to this topic after having watched this video and absorbed its powerful lyrics 🙌🏾

After a couple years chasing it, i finally got clean 3 years ago, i slipped twice, each time a few days, but luckily going on a year straight sober, the scars never go away, but ive rebuilt many burned bridges, especially with my family, and i know you can too, you can be that person you were, even if you feel like you don't even recognize your own mother anymore, you get to meet her again, your alive still, you can do anything, the next time might be your last time, so why risk it? You are worth a better legacy.

Good Old Kesinton n Fishtown Ashame But I was Hooked Real Flow🇮🇪🇮🇪☮️☮️☮️☮️

A year and a half sober and im tempted to relapse every single day. Lost my baby in january and Im so tired of hurting. I just wanna feel numb but scared to fall back into the abyss. I barely made it out alive last time and next time i dont think ill find my way back again. Grief is such a monster. I was doing so well until I lost my baby.

OT, this is too heavy bro. Deep rooted sun. Shit is so incredibly well done! Much love from RIchmond VA 🙏🏽

Bro this fuckin video is too notxh rs this shit hit different rs krazy bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

He is 🔥🔥🔥

ABS0LUTELY L0VE THIS S0NG FR0M A H0MET0WN FUTURE LEGEND, SALUTE 1000 TIMES !!!

Sigh... I wanted to LOVE this. It's basically the first rap video I've EVER seen talking about this issue in any way with a large amount of honesty, and realism. It falls short in a few places, but I'll get to that later. The fact that it's NOT a choice is not really properly understood, or talked about in many places. People really do NOT understand just how true that really is. Some people tried it cuz they were curious and wanted to have a fun time. I don't even judge that. However, some others? They're only here because of an injury that happened to them out of the blue during a freak accident. Others still? They were injured by someone ELSE who completely disregarded their safety, their dignity, their humanity, and them as a person in totality. Others STILL? Well... Some people have been trafficked since they were younger than you DARE to think of. Polite society avoids even thinking about it. Let alone speaking of it. OT The Real... I'm frankly torn apart by you, and this fucking video. It's in the right place at the right time to look like a diamond, but it's tarnished. A tarnished diamond. "You chose me over your family"? Naw, Nilzaw! Some people never had family. Even those that did? Some of them had "family" so fucking bad that despite being a genius, a fucking genius that would make all the clowns like Vinnie Paz and any of the other bigoted shit bags like him look like the rocks in the shop that they are. LGBTQIA kids are not the god damn "devil." LGBTQIA people are not the fucking devil. All you piece of shit bible thumpers out there aren't even reading the real bible anyway. It's a stolen story from people you villainize, and that society uses as a convenient scapegoat to hide who's really preying on everybody. But fuckers like you? You so "sad" sounding talking about how you expect to go back, overdose, and die. Fucking so what?! Have an easy in prison motherfucker?! Those of us who have it the worst can't just work out, write, and whatever the fuck you did in your spare time! This shit isn't equal, and so many of us get dragged down into the pipeline of sexual slavery in prison. Some aren't even adults, or even in prison by the time that's already happened. What the fuck do you people know about that?! Not a god damn thing! You talk about Loyalty, and how it's everything? What do you know about Loyalty? I remember bro culture. I remember how at the end of the day you only got yourself, and how you gotta watch your back, because someone claiming to be your "Bro" might just rape you in your sleep. Then somehow we're the faggots? Who slides into our DM's in secret, begging for all sorts of nasty shit? The conservatives in government with 800 convicted felons, and all for sex crimes against children, and TRANS WOMEN are "GROOMERS"?! Fuck everyone who ever said that shit, because it's a twisted up version of what's really true. We're the kids they use, abuse, and toss away like garbage. We're the kids they send to camps where they torture you. We're the kids at places like that with a 50% survival rate. Buried in unmarked graves. I'm disgusted, and disappointed that you'd associate with people like that to be honest. That ain't real at all. That's as fake as it fucking gets. Just as fake as all this pearl clutching rage about us trans women in women's prison, or sports! Cis women aren't perpetually vulnerable angelic things to be protected. Cis women can rape too. Cis women rape children at lower ages, and at higher rates than cis men! Trans women? Lowest rates of offenses like that. It's an old Nazi strategy really. Going all the way back to the 1920s, when Hitler was just rising to power. Accuse your opponent of all that which you are guilty of! 100+ years later and it's still working. Who's the next Vinnie Paz gonna be? Maybe a Russian American piece of shit who can after a mediocre career compare himself favorably to Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin, an OBVIOUSLY prolific child rapist, who just got an arrest warrant for war crimes in Ukraine? I wish this country had the guts, and the decency to back that court up for this. Instead this country is running from that court for many of the same types of crimes. There's no forgiving anyone anywhere who acted like PUTIN was a good leader! Like we should run any place like HE did! . We're not some new mutation. That would you people who call yourselves "heterosexual", "straight." I remember being in locker rooms full of both cis men, and cis women. No one acts gayer than y'all in those places. You aren't superior to us, because we are trans or gay or whatever. In fact? We are closer to God than any of you will EVER be! Keep trying to exterminate us, and you'll just guarantee the end of everything

This some real shit bruh...only those who went thru this shit can understand and families who was affected. God bless all of yall..💪

OT Is The Rapper I Always Wanted to be Growing up in philly AND Camden and south jersey I jus never pushed MYSELF n made Impulsive choices HOWEVER IT'S NEVER TO LATE YA HEARD??? BUT FOR NOW THIS IS OT'S GAME N IM QUITE OK WIT THAT....

Too close to home smh philly need help osrs

That’s the realest shxt ever!! Putting the help number in the video. Respect.

Thanks O.T. needed this today just came off a 4 month run with opanas absolutely feeling it today I know I can get through the next few days, I’ve lost my brother to dope my uncle to dope and I’m over this life god bless anyone going though this shit keep strong 💪

Popped up on my fb reels! This is real! I had to further listen to more of your work.. OT, I hear what your speaking.. streaming your word from Kentucky!

Real af!!

Addiction IS NOT A DISEASE. If it were I'd be dead. Instead I "cured" myself. DROP THAT CRUTCH AND MAN TF UP

This dude turned me to an instant fan of his , he's got an awesome flow and heavy bars to be honest I judged him quickly which was a mistake that I make often but I'm more than impressed by this wordsmith,excellent work

OT IS THE REAL🙏🏻💪🏻🙌🏻

This shit is exactly how it is. To whoever is on the brink and might see this, don't even, not even once. Don't try, smoke, snort or for gods sake shoot anything cause these lyrics will be your life and more than likely your death. I am 2 years clean after a 15 year battle 12.5 with pills 2.5 with B.T. I woke up one day to no shit and decided that my girl was more important than this and went through it for a month or better but didn't sleep for 2 weeks plus. I had nobody I had nothing left my girl stood by me though. I am working again and look back and cringe. Steer clear of the dope and anyone fucking with it they're not a friend even if you know em all your life, they're not. The thing is they don't even know their willing to, about too or have screwed you. It's ALL bad, trust this, ALL BAD. To y'all recovering, keep doing y'all thing and never look back, to the struggling good luck it's better getting better and to the one that can't see this R.I.P.

It gets easier.. One day at a Fucking time then days become months, then years. You have to want it but its fucking tough cutting every possible plug off, my prayers/vibes to everyone struggling.. 335 days after 15 years of struggle.

This is the realest song ever on addiction.... I write this from my 10×10 room in the biggest open air drug market in the world or at least North America.. VANCOUVERS DOWNTOWN EASTIDE (EAST HASTINGS OR DTES)

Real talk 💯

The realest mafucka ive heard in years!

I honor ppl like you who step up for their community...much respect bro keep spitting that fire💯👆🏽

We from the same city im caught up in the same mess u rap about, i think a bid is the only thing thatll make me chamge my ways, until then im getting to ts bread. Kensington is bad but we in trouble up here in boston methadone mile. Dont forget about your roots...

I just heard this song for the first time in 2024.this that music that leaves an impact

60 days clean off a 5-6 gram a day iv fent habit. Doing the best I've ever done. Back on my shit. You don't have to keep using. You can beat the odds. You can do better. I did Got the scars to prove it. One day at a time

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥Crazy!!!!!

Anyone know if OT actually was addicted to Opiates or just wrote the song???

I started off with coke, just with my girlfriend whenever we went to bars. That transitioned to using at work. The coke then went to that, xanax, and alcohol. Popping 3-4 bars a night while heavily drinking. I started shooting up coke, the high was so much better. In January of this year, I overdosed twice, the second one within two weeks of the first. I went to rehab and was clean for about 6 weeks. I just relapsed with heroin this weekend and i hate myself for it

100/ percent. Was blessed enuff to stop right when the purple started being the down. In toronto its so hard to get anything but fenty. I remember the days when patches were 500$ a patch u couldnt afford to cut your shit with it. To expensive

Best in philly always talking real shit
