Phora fires back at Santa Ana's Drexthejoint with diss track "2am in Santa Ana"

A static Juice Unlocked graphic, about two minutes long: photos of the two rappers side by side with a flaming "VS." over a black-and-white shot of a water tower reading "Downtown Orange County" with a Santa Ana logo, a "Sound On" badge and the headline "Phora just dropped a diss record aimed at Santa Ana rapper Drexthejoint." The audio is the song itself, which mentions Drex by name. No interview or commentary is heard.

On Oct. 5, 2025, Juice Unlocked reported that rapper Phora had dropped a diss record aimed at Santa Ana rapper Drexthejoint. The track is titled "2am in Santa Ana."

According to the post's caption, the record came after Drex had recently called Phora out for claiming LA, in an interview with Foo Community.

The record

The post played about two minutes of audio from the song over a static split-screen "VS." graphic. The track mentions Drex by name, and most of the excerpt deals with loyalty, people who switched up and the rapper's own come-up.

The post did not say where or when the full song was released, and Drex's interview comments were not part of the clip.
