Justend & Joe Aste - poison (Video)

Taken from one of the most unique releases to hail out of Queens, Justend & Joe Aste bless us with the visuals to “poison” off their opus “poison spacegirl”, that title alone should reel you in enough to press play, you won’t be disappointed. The visuals themselves are simplistic, with the boys just wilding out after the debaucherous activities they were probably up to all throughout the night. They seem to be having a great time despite the unhealthy dynamics at play. I believe we all recall the rush that accompanies falling head over heels for people we know are not good for us.

It’s easy to slip into this pattern when you’re so desperately in need of that good feeling this person gives you, so much so that, it’s almost like you willingly ignore the bright red flags presenting themselves to you so blatantly. Your heart is completely broken at this very moment so why not continue indulging & let this person just slowly chip away at your glass heart, only to never anneal it after the damage is done. I never liked phrases like, “you wouldn’t drink poison just cause you’re thirsty”, like, how do you know that, humans are the most interesting critters on the planet, especially when we feel we’re in love with someone, there’s no telling what we’d be willing to do in those moments.

He & the boys are so gone off the elixir as they wax these sentiments ever so eloquently on this subtle banger. Not a break up song per say but it could be, it’ll definitely make you feel better about any similar mistakes you may have made playing the field. Makes sense that he & Joe made this banger on a cold winter night back in 2019, a lot of real spill & emotion is coursing through this track. It is highly advised that, if you’re feeling this, which you should, go back & peep the entire album for more great records like this one!
