Slightly Stoopid‘s new single “The Upside Down” is out today, July 18th. The song taps legendary hip-hop MCs B-Real of Cypress Hill and Chali 2na of Jurassic 5 to create a funky reflection on the power of love in turbulent times.
“We’re stoked… The song has an underlying theme of more love in this world. The magnitude of music bringing us all together is real and supersedes the narrative of negativity in this life. We are stronger as one, smoke stack it and enjoy the ride!”
High Times gave fans an exclusive first listen of the new music, saying: “‘The Upside Down’ feels like the kind of tune you hear once and assume it’s already been around forever. It’s hypnotic, it’s heavy on groove, and it’s got its heart in the right place.”
The track has already become a fan favorite during the Slightly Stoopid’s Step Into The Sun summer tour – performed live with B-Real and Chali 2na at Cali Vibes Festival in Long Beach, CA and again with Chali 2na during a spirited set at KROQ’s Sound Space.
“The Upside Down” is the latest glimpse of Slightly Stoopid’s upcoming 10th studio album, due out next year. It follows the spirited single “Step Into The Sun,” released in June 2025. Recorded at the renowned Sonic Ranch studios in El Paso, TX, the new album will mark the band’s first full-length release in eight years.
Perfect for your laid-back summer nights playlists that melt hip-hop into reggae, “The Upside Down” is streaming now on digital platforms everywhere.
