On this episode of Tosa West Talks – I Made This we talk with three sophomore students who made a catchy educational rap for health class about the dangers of vaping and nicotine.

The song “Put the Vape Down” by Amora Fifer, Honesty Washington, and Izzy Goodlow features a Milwaukee inspired beat and catchy lyrics such as, “Put the vapes down, when your lungs turn brown I don’t wanna hear a sound.”

The girls go in depth about the challenges, successes, and fun times they had with their first time recording a song together.

“Once we got our lyrics and figured out our flow, it was just barbeque chicken from there,” said Fifer.

The trio also hinted that they are hoping to continue rapping together and may record another song in the near future.
