It’s no question that the use of cannabis is popular amongst the music community and especially in hip-hop. Many of these strains have been favorites since the old days, but also introduce some of the newer weed brands that have made their mark on some of our favorite rappers today. Continue reading to learn about 7 weed strains that rappers enjoy smoking, whether they’re looking for a creative boost or relaxation after a long day in the studio.
7 Weed Strains That Rappers Love
Gelato
Gelato is an evenly-balanced hybrid made from a cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbet. It may have a tendency to leave you feeling nice and relaxed, while also mentally stimulated and productive. It has a THC level around 17%, which makes it a mid-level potency, and may help with insomnia and pain relief. The taste could remind you of a dessert because of its creamy and fruity flavors. The love for this weed is consistent amongst many rappers, and the late Young Dolph even has a song for the fan-favorite strain.
ZaZa
The name may seem familiar to those who have been on TikTok lately. From CJ’s “Whoopty,” many people reference the line “Smokin’ that ZaZa.” While this is also a slang term for top-shelf, exotic weed, our friends over at Grand CRU and GasHouse are the cultivators of this indica-dominant strain. Crossed with Blue Dream and Rare Dankness #1, ZaZa may offer a mix of a full body and head high that tends to linger longer than other strains. They say ZaZa makes you feel more calm and sleepy, so it’s better to smoke this after a long day at work, the studio, or if you have trouble sleeping.
Pressure
This that pressure! You may have heard that line somewhere in a song or an interview with a popular hip-hop artist. Pressure weed is originally slang derived from South Florida, which just means it’s good, or “fire,” weed. Exotic Genetix took advantage and named a strain after the regularly-used word. They crossed two hybrid strains, Rainbow Chip (Sunset Sherbet x Mint Chocolate Chip) and Gary Payton (Cookies x Cherry Pie x Snowman). The Pressure strain will possibly give you the relief you need for stress, anxiety, and body tension.
Runtz
Runtz became widely popular over the past few years and was named Leafly’s 2020 Strain of the Year. Made by Cookies, it is a hybrid strain crossed with Zkittlez and Gelato, and is considered to be a rare type of strain. Known for its fruity, candy-like taste and aroma, it has been widely popular amongst the hip-hop community within the last few years.
Jet Fuel
As Mac Miller would say: “But I never run out of Jet Fuel.” And you shouldn’t either. Jet Fuel is a hybrid strain by 303 Seeds; it is made by crossing SFV OG Kush with East Coast Sour Diesel. It’s known for its energetic and uplifting effects, which is good for rappers who want to avoid couch-lock. Both of the strains Jet Fuel is crossed with are some of the most renowned Diesel strains, which may give the user some of the sativa-based effects, such as energy and mental focus. It may also level out into a state of relaxation, which would benefit the rapper to be able to sit back and listen to the new mix while chilled out.
Biscotti
Unlike Jet Fuel, Biscotti is more of an indica-dominant hybrid strain. It is a cross between Gelato 25 and Sour Florida OG. This strain also offers many benefits to rappers, as its effects hold a relaxing, creative punch after each hit. It also benefits medical marijuana patients, as its potency of around 21% THC may help alleviate feelings of anxiety, stress, and depression. This strain comes from the very popular Cookies brand, which is especially popular in hip-hop today.
Girl Scout Cookies
This strain, otherwise known as GSC for short, is an indica-dominant hybrid strain that crosses OG Kush and Durban Poison. This weed has been popular due to the likes of rappers like Berner, Jadakiss, Future, and Snoop Dogg. It produces potentially euphoric effects that blend nicely with a full-body relaxation. It’s also known to activate your appetite, so be sure to have some munchies next to you, too. This strain is also up there in potency, with a THC level around 19%. Tread lightly!
