Pre-Rolled Joints is Doug Tree's most unapologetically fun and direct project to date. Built around the concept of "ROI: Rapping Over Instrumentals," the album sees the masked Vancouver rapper stepping away from overthinking and diving headfirst into the pure joy of making hip-hop.
Recorded over a collection of Dubgee’s hand-picked instrumentals, Pre-Rolled Joints captures the feeling of passing a joint around a circle of friends, sharing stories, cracking jokes, and celebrating the culture that brought everyone together in the first place. The album balances humor, weed-fueled adventures, party anthems, and moments of genuine reflection while showcasing Doug Tree's larger-than-life personality.
Throughout the project, Doug Tree is joined by a cast of collaborators from across Canada and beyond, including Fresh Kils, Ammoye, Scythe, RC the Hazard, and other members of the extended Beast Van Records family. The result is an album that feels less like a traditional release and more like a community gathering set to music.
At its core, Pre-Rolled Joints represents a turning point for both Doug Tree and Beast Van Records. After years of experimenting with concepts, alter egos, and independent releases, the album serves as a reminder that hip-hop can still be simple: find a beat, write a rhyme, spark one up, and enjoy the moment.
Whether you're riding shotgun on a summer road trip, sitting around a campfire, or getting ready for a night out, Pre-Rolled Joints was designed to be the soundtrack for good times and good company.
