⁣On October 25th, 2025, the Inland Empire’s biggest Halloween party came alive at Stage Red in Fontana and not everyone made it out the same.

When three friends arrive expecting live sets from Tash (Tha Alkaholiks), Scoop DeVille, DJ Battlecat, and Nick Nack, they stumble into something much darker hiding beneath the beats.

Starring: Iz Avila, Dasjaun Rose, Noa James & Marin Padilla

🎭 Shot in the Inland Empire at Stage Red. Inspired by real IE culture.

👻 Event: IZ’s Night of Grooves & Ghouls

Bet On Me is one of my favorite records off King Orca. I actually wrote this at Disneyland, and the energy is lit, uplifting, and full of punch—all while keeping it clean (even though it sounds like I didn’t).

Produced by Audio King, this track is all about confidence, love, and believing in yourself. While visiting Unreal Poké, we came across this dope wall, and with my outfit matching the aesthetics, we had to shoot a video right then and there.

Lyrics
Some people need drugs
And you should get on ‘em
You’re messed up
God knows you've got problems
Even he can't solve ‘em

You’re a special kind of sick
I hate everything you did
You always try to pull me in
Just to push me off the cliff

You need drugs
Yeah you need a doctor

Some people need love
But nobody's honest
If you'd ever shut up
Maybe you wouldn't have lost it

And there's nothing left to say
Some men will never change
You had me trapped inside your maze
Thought that I’d never escape
And honestly I’d kill you, but it wouldn't end well
Cause if I really did I’d have to see you in hell

Cause you’re sick
And I'm tired
This is it
No more lying
Time to quit
No more crying
I need love

Cause you’re sick
And I'm tired
This is it
No more lying
Time to quit
No more crying
I need love

Cause you’re sick
And I'm tired
This is it
No more lying
Time to quit
No more crying
I need love

Cause you’re sick
And I'm tired
This is it
No more lying
Time to quit
No more crying
I need love

You make me sick
And so tired
This is it
You’re a liar
Time to quit
I'm done with trying
I need love

And you need drugs

Lyrics

Tear apart these walls
Give back what's been borrowed
Rivers lead back home
You'll wake up tomorrow
Tear apart these walls
Leave behind the hollow
Let the pieces fall
You'll wake up tomorrow

I can't lay here
Waiting for a day that never comes
I won't stay here
Rip apart the boards that hold me up

Tear apart these walls
Give back what's been borrowed
Rivers lead back home
You'll wake up tomorrow

I can't lay herе
Waiting for a day that never comеs
I won't stay here
Rip apart the boards that hold me up

I can't lay here
Waiting for a day that never comes
