Multi-talented artist and producer OG Dayv marked this year's 4/20 with the release of mixtape, 'The Sour Diesel Eagle.' Diving into the intersection of hip-hop culture and cannabis, OG Dayv's latest project reflects his personal journey of self-discovery and creative expression.
For OG Dayv, 4/20 holds a significance beyond just a date on the calendar. Reflecting on the cultural significance of the day, he shares, "4/20 is not only important for good health and understanding of self, but it's also a day to celebrate the medicinal properties of weed." Having found solace and inspiration in cannabis to cope with stress, anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD, OG Dayv acknowledges the invaluable role that weed has played in his life. "Music takes on a new meaning after you listen to it stoned," he adds. "It allows me to hear the different intricacies and instruments, fueling my creative process."

"Consistency is key," he states. "No matter what, on 4/20, you can always count on me to deliver something to the fans."
'The Sour Diesel Eagle' is a testament to OG Dayv's enduring relationship with marijuana and its influence on his artistic expression. "Weed and rap go together like bacon and eggs," he remarks. "It has helped me become a better engineer, producer, and artist overall."
While 'The Sour Diesel Eagle' maintains a laid-back and fun vibe, OG Dayv does not shy away from addressing serious issues, including the disproportionate impact of drug laws on minorities. "The point still remains that the laws around these drugs need to be changed quickly," he asserts.
Looking ahead, OG Dayv hints at exciting collaborations on his upcoming album, expressing his enthusiasm for the collaborative process and its role in enhancing his creative vision.
As OG Dayv continues to push the boundaries of his artistry, 'The Sour Diesel Eagle' stands as a testament craft and his commitment to authenticity.
