Emcee/producer duo Lt Headtrip and steel tipped dove offer a cup of sugar in this song about intimacy and neighborliness, both warm and cold. With self-aware confidence, Headtrip “addresses the issues of sexuality, sex and the tired old tropes of rap machismo on the smoochy drifted saxophone and crunched drum beats produced We Got The Sugar,” writes Monolith Cocktail.

Offering footage of Trip’s notably captivating live performances, including album release shows in Brooklyn and Chicago, mixed with the rich palette of a local candy store, the second video single from their debut album Hostile Engineering offers a glimpse into their world. We even step into Fused Arrow Records HQ for a casual rehearsal. The warmth and community expressed throughout the video complement dove’s inviting production while clashing with the cold hostility painted in Trip’s vignettes of nervous neighbors, nosy moochers, and heartless recluses.

It all begs the question: would your neighbors sooner call in a noise complaint than they might ask to borrow a cup of sugar?
