Studio Fire 3: Street Drugs marks yet another ambitious and boundary-pushing collaboration from the enigmatic Studio Fire Collective. This time, the collective showcases the talents of Opiate Nate and Lil Shitdick, a duo whose creative synergy brings raw emotion and brutal honesty to the forefront. The album is a dark, gritty odyssey through the depths of addiction, violence, and despair, diving deeper than any of their previous works. With its uncompromising tone and a bold narrative arc, Street Drugs challenges listeners to confront harsh realities while being captivated by its visceral storytelling.

The heart of the album lies in its deeply personal and character-driven narrative, which feels more like a haunting movie script than a traditional rap record. Lil Shitdick, the more chaotic of the two, spirals further into the abyss of his drug addiction, making him unpredictable, volatile, and dangerously disconnected from those around him. His lyrics, delivered with a mix of aggression and despair, paint an unflinching picture of the destruction his choices leave in their wake. Whether it's through tales of shattered relationships or violent outbursts, his descent is as captivating as it is horrifying.

Meanwhile, Opiate Nate’s journey is equally compelling but far more introspective. He portrays a man at war with himself, balancing his ongoing struggle with drug use against an intense longing for redemption. His verses offer a stark contrast to Lil Shitdick’s chaos, providing moments of reflection and self-awareness that reveal the fragility beneath the hardened exterior. Nate’s battle to break free from addiction becomes a central theme, and his vulnerability resonates deeply with the audience, even as his choices raise questions about his ability to truly escape.

As the narrative unfolds, the album’s plot becomes as intricate as it is harrowing, weaving the lives of its protagonists into a tapestry of betrayal, regret, and moral ambiguity. The duo’s actions, driven by desperation and pain, force listeners to question their initial assumptions about these artists. Are they anti-heroes, victims of their circumstances, or simply the architects of their own downfall? The complexity of their characters ensures that there are no easy answers, leaving listeners to grapple with the moral weight of their story.

By the end of Studio Fire 3: Street Drugs, it becomes clear that this isn’t just a tale of addiction—it’s a stark meditation on accountability and consequence. As the final tracks play out, we’re left to wonder whether Opiate Nate and Lil Shitdick deserve redemption or if their fates are merely the culmination of their darkest choices. The album doesn’t just tell a story; it forces listeners to confront uncomfortable truths, making it not only the grittiest installment in the Studio Fire series but also one of the most thought-provoking rap albums in recent memory.

This is the posthumous EP by our dearest Raphael. Also known as "Raph" or "Raphy" he made a huge impact on the ones around him. He eventually succumbed to death via fierce and painful drug overdose, dying on a mixture of 40% fentanyl 30% methamphetamine and 30% unknown chinese chemical under the name "JHP-0998" otherwise known as Sensei Wu . Nathaniel [redacted] was allegedly the supplier of the chemical cocktail which caused Raphael's young life to end too soon at 21.
The release of this EP marks a symbolic rebirth of Raphael, coming into the world not physically, but as a musical being.

Raphaels parents refused to comment on the ep's release stating "My son was murdered and these sick fucks are releasing his music to profit off his death, doing anything to scrounge up drug money." It is clear his parents have been left delusional and insane.

When a snowy night takes a sharp left turn into the surreal, best friends Opiate Nate and Lil’ Shitdick find themselves ripped from their block and dropped straight into the North Pole—but not the cozy, cartoon version everyone knows. This is a twisted, ice-cold realm where jingle bells clash with 808s, candy canes hide secrets, and Christmas cheer has a dark side.

Told through vivid rap storytelling, the album follows the duo as they navigate frozen factories, corrupted elves, and a chilling showdown with Evil Santa, a ruthless ruler who’s traded goodwill for greed and fear. Each track plays like a chapter, blending humor, chaos, and raw friendship as Nate and Shitdick roast their way through danger, doubt, and devilish holiday trials.

Under the punchlines and hard beats is a core story about loyalty—two friends relying on each other when everything familiar disappears. Snowstorms turn into battlegrounds, sleigh bells become warning signs, and Christmas magic feels more like a curse than a blessing.

Darkly funny, cinematic, and unapologetically off-the-wall, this Christmas rap album flips holiday traditions on their head and proves that even at the end of the world—or the North Pole—brotherhood still hits harder than the cold.
