No pain, no gain.

With all the struggles Young Buck has experienced throughout his life, he's just trying to take the pain away. That is, at least, what he raps about on his single "No Pain" off of his recently released album, Compulsive. On the track, the rapper talks about a number of drugs that he goes through in order to numb himself from the agony of everyday life including Percocet, lean, and edibles. 

In much of the visual, Buck is alone at night on city streets as he tells his story directly to the camera. Many people who have battled through life with financial hardships, family issues, run-ins with the law, and emotional struggles will identify with much of what Buck speaks about here. Buck vulnerability throughout Compulsive has made it a relatable album that has been, overall, received well by fans. It's good to see Buck on the music grind, ignoring the rumors and internet beefs that have captured the attention of hip hop figures on social media.
