NugLife – TROUBLED WORLD (feat. Planet Asia & UnLearn The World) [Single]

L.A.’s own underground beat-making maestro, NugLife, cooks up a sonic brew in “TROUBLED WORLD,” featuring quick off the mark verses from Planet Asia’ and UnLearn The World. This track’s straight off of NugLife’s latest joint, NUGLIFE 2024, and it’s dripping with that top-shelf, smoked-out vibe that he’s celebrated for.

Planet Asia comes in with his signature gusto, showing who wears the crown with a voice that’s rich and commanding. He chalks a picture of a warrior; battle-scarred yet standing tall. His bars, like “Born in the ghetto my thug membership was inherited/ from alcohol beverages and bad parenting/ Three-fifths of a human…black american” reach deep into the roots of his struggle, served straight with no chaser. Through his rhymes, Asia lays out the legacy of the streets that molded him – telling a story of survival and identity that he carries with him.

Then UnLearn The World steps up, likening his energy to a blend of seventies soul and the force of a street preacher (“Minister Farrakhan mixed with some Frankie Beverly“). The way he drops “Nipsey said it’s a marathon, I’m running for a Senate seat,” feels like a strategy laid bare, gunning for heights, taking swings at those in charge. 

Together, this trio turns “TROUBLED WORLD” into a call to arms, wrapped in sounds that seep deep under your skin and lyrics that challenge you to think and feel the weight of their words. This isn’t some polished to a bright shine pop radio number; it’s straight from the pavement, hammering home the fact that these corners harbor tales fighting to be shared.
