"Drank in My Cup" is a song by American rapper Kirko Bangz, released by Warner Records on September 9, 2011 as the lead single from his mixtape, Progression 2: A Young Texas Playa. Produced by the Houston-based production duo Sound M.O.B., it remains Kirko Bangz's only song (as a lead artist) to enter the Billboard Hot 100—where it peaked at number 28—and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), signifying sales of 1,000,000 units domestically.[2] Lyrically, the song discusses Bangz's ability to satisfy an adulterous woman's libido,[3] while the title refers to purple drank, a codeine-promethazine cocktail served in Sprite, a drink symbolic of Houston's hip-hop scene and associated with chopped and screwed music.
